This was overall a great place to stay, if needing a little TLC. The beds were comfy and there was ample room to unpack your luggage. We had the suite with a lovely mountain view. The only odd thing was the room with windows facting the mountain had the smaller bed, while the back room (with no windows/views) had the larger bed. The glass panel in the shower was missing a bottom gasket so it was impossible to shower without a large amount of water leaking onto the floor. We appreciated the in-room espresso and water bottles. We did not partake in breakfast, which was very grab-and-go with plastic-wrapped pastries. Staff was not seen at all, but must have been on site somewhere; this wasn't an issue for us, but some might want to know before staying here. Overall, a nice stay and great location, somewhat away from all the downtown hubbub.

No 6 West Coates is not really what i would consider a hotel, it's more like an airbnb. We recived our room key via emailed instructions, and we never saw any staff the entire time we were there. This hotel was was bearable for the two nights we spent there, but if we had been staying in Edinburgh longer, I would have found other accommodations. The building is old and in need of renovations for the prices they charge. The room was ok, but not the cleanest. The bed was also not comfortable. I like a firm mattress, but even I found it too hard. There's no air con, which we expected, but the windows only opened about six inches and we had to find something to put in them to keep them propped up so air could get in. There was no fan in the room, so I wouldn't recommend staying here in warm weather. The bathroom was fine, but again, had to prop open the window to let steam out. The room did not have any lamps or fixtures with USB ports, so make sure you have a plug adapter if you're traveling from outside the UK. We had to go to the Tesco Express down the street, and luckily they had one. No mini-fridge in the room, but there was a refrigerator in the common room on the ground floor. The location is pretty good. The tram and train station is about a 10 minute walk, and the main part of town is about 20 minutes. Might not be convenient for someone with mobility issues. Overall, for 300£ for 2 nights, I would not stay here again. There are nicer options for the price.

Nice place and close to the city center. It says free street parking but not very feasible and difficult to navigate. We parked at a car park and Uber to the hotel.

Never again

Roaches, uncomfortable beds, didn’t clean the room at all in the 4 nights we were there even after we placed the placard on the door to make up the room. Terrible. Overpriced and wouldn’t do that again. Only positive is that it was near public transit.

Great location but disappointing condition

Location was fantastic. Lovely building. Unfortunately there was a large leak in one of the rooms that had a bucket under it. I emailed the hotel contact on day 1 and haven’t heard back. The dripping carried on all night and kept my youngest up so not ideal. Reading other reviews it seems this room has a historic leak so suggest it needs fixing.

Not worth the price

We stayed at No 6 West Coates and the carpets were stained. Our room the carpets were also stained. We noticed the sink we not draining properly and the shower we had when turned on only gave cold water. (If we ironically turned the cold water tap on the bathtub, then lukewarm water would come out of the shower). We reported this to the hotel's 24 hour helpdesk by calling, and though despite being promised it would be fixed, they didn't bother to get someone to look at the problem, until we called again in the evening realising when we returned the problem had not been fixed. By then it was too late. They also didn't have another room available to transfer us to. This pretty much ruined our stay.

Wonderful stay.

Apart from the initial hiccup on arrival, the visit was one of the best I have spent in Edinburgh, I do visit the town regularly & I will indeed be spending time there again. The friendliness of the staff, attention to detail, the neatness & most of all the closeness to the town centre a definite plus. THANK YOU!
