Nice hotel, spacious room. Easy self-check-in. No elevator so lots of stairs if on the 2nd (really 3rd floor). Tiny bathroom, but great water pressure and really hot water. No place to store luggage - used stasher at nearby hotel before the next leg of out trip. 15 min walk to downtown center/Royal Mile/Edinburgh Castle. It was. I’ve to have individual twin beds for the kids and still have plenty of room to walk around.

You get what you pay for. Not accessible for the disable or elderly. Three flights of stairs with no lift. Struggled to actually get into the hotel via press keypad. The amenities were very basic which reflects on the price but did it job.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
Communication with staff prior to arrival was difficult. The generic check-in information received at the time of booking contained an error, leading us to contact the hotel for clarification - and we never recevied a response despite attempting contact via the hotel's website, the Expedia portal and telephone. Other than this - once we received the self-check in instructions over e-mail (which were late in arriving), everything went smoothly. The rooms were tidy. The location is fantastic.

I would not recommend staying at Regent House Hotel. Throughout the majority of our visit, we had no hot water and a toilet that didn’t flush properly. There were no staff available on-site, and it was nearly impossible to reach anyone for assistance. Post-trip, I tried to contact the hotel to discuss compensation, but all efforts were ignored and ultimately dismissed. A very frustrating and disappointing experience—especially when even basic amenities weren’t provided.
