“Great location and awesome breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here for 3 nights recently and it was great. Only a 5 minute walk from the city centre (up and down a few hills)
Upon arriving we were given a quick chat about Edinburgh and all of the things to do which was great as we had never been before.
The bedroom although small was very clean and tidy and very cosy.
The cooked breakfast was fantastic! I would stay again simply for this! They also had a great range of cereals, jam and fruit for continental breakfasts.

“Great Hotel in Edinburgh”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

My father and I stayed in this hotel in July of 2011. I can only say wonderful things about the hotel. Our room was right at street level at the front of the hotel, but the hotel had wonderful shutters that blocked out nearly all outside noise. The staff at the hotel was very helpful with everything from fixing out TV to organizing transportation to the airport when we departed. The food at the hotel was also very good. The location of the hotel was also good. It was only a few blocks to Prince's Street, but unfortunately all those blocks are uphill. The good part is it is all downhill on the way back. I would definitely stay here again.

“I received a letter from a lawyer after writing a bad review of this place!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We all have our expieriences both good and bad when we travel but who expects to
receive a lawyers letter when we honestly report them. Is this what the
transparency of the Internet has come too. My family booked the Walton guest
house in August 2011 for a one night stay. The guest house is the first floor
and basement of a building. We were shown a room in the basement which when my
family took a shower had sewage back up in the shower drain. I reported this
on Last Minute Bookings site with whom we booked and got a letter from Walton's
lawyer this morning concocting some story about cleaning my sons bicycle in the
shower! I will say they moved us to a ground floor room that was very nice,
luckily we discovered the smelly room while there was still someone at the front
desk as there is no one there after 9pm.

If they had put us in the nicer room from the beginning we would have had a totally different opinion of this place but I guess sending us a threatening lawyers letter shows that they are no better smelling then the drains in their basement.

Walton1, Manager at Walton Hotel, responded to this review
17 September 2011
The allegations this individual has made on the internet are untrue. During his stay he used the shower in his bedroom to clean dog excrement off his child’s bicycle. He also used fresh towels and facecloths belonging to the Walton to clean dog excrement off his child’s bicycle. As a result of this there was a smell in the ensuite showerroom. There is no sewage pipes connected to the shower drains therefore impossible for this to appear in the shower without the guest influence. The shower area had to be thoroughly cleaned and the towels and facecloths had to be disposed of. Given his standards of hygiene, we would not welcome this guest back to our establishment.
