I booked this hotel in Nov 2010 for a concert in june 2011 and was informed of a double booking via email 6 months later. Was offered lesser acommodation much further away from desired location. Was not given a reason for double booking or offered any other alternatives. TERRIBLE customer service. Got a refund after they had had my money... More

Clean, convenient, that's the only good things about it. Very depressing, seems to be more like a homeless hostel. The one staff person was doing his best but it was his first night (I expect they have a high staff turnover). Holes in the sheets. No sign on the door - no sign even once inside. Feels like a speakeasy,... More

I wasn't expecting much when I booked a few days at the Shandwick, especially after some of the negative reviews. However, I have to say that we really enjoyed our stay. We had a suite/apartment which consisted of a kitchen, separate bathroom (with tub!) and then an enormous room that contained two double beds, closet, tv, and lounge chairs...and there... More

If you are going to Edinburgh, want to stay close to city center and are not too plump in your pocket, this hotel is for you. It is well-situated, clean, not noisy and excellent communication from the airport. Service is very pleasant as well. There are only two small "buts": some rooms face nothing but wall some 5 cm from... More

I was very pleased with my stay at the Shandwick. I am from the United States, and stayed there in September, 2010. I had a single room with a shared bath - that I had prepaid for on Expedia. But, there was no one on my wing, so no one else ever used the bathroom while I was there. The... More

We ended up a day early in Edinburgh and booked a twin private (with bathroom) last minute for 50 pounds. Although a bit hard to find, as was great value for money for that price if just looking for a good place to say an huge roomy apartment with bedroom, living room (nice couch, not much to watch on the...

I stayed in a double room with shared bathroom. The room was actually not too bad - large, clean, had a tv and kettle. But shared bathroom meant not even a sink in the bedroom! And it turns out there was no shower in the shared bathroom, just a hand-held thing that didn't even work. Plus no soap in the... More

Stayed her in mid May, very large room, dirt cheap and good location, very close to all the sights and plenty of restaurants, pubs and bars. It does get very noisy at night as there is a pub underneath and a lap-dancing club a few doors down! May not be could for families because of this but unbeatable value. More

Good location, a few minutes of walk away from all the attractions and main streets. We did all our visits by foot or bus. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel. Yet the place is quiet as rooms face an inner court. Suites are huge with big rooms, large living room (with TV, sofa, dining table) and... More
