For the price we paid and what we got? 2.5 stars the most. \n\nWe chose Royal British Hotel for its location - right across from the train station that we were arriving in the late afternoon via train and didn't wanted to walk far dragging our luggage behind. We needed to stay just one night as we had reservation with other hotel from the next night. \n\nOur room was on the 4th floor. Got into an elevator and it only went to the 3rd floor. Then there was really small awkward stairs leading up to the 4th floor. It was like the 4th floor was just an add on to the hotel.... Our room was an attic. Very tightly designed room with 2 shades that were half broken and a view from the window was roof top of our hotel and there were old furniture and trash shoved on the corner and cigarette butts. Great...\n\nThank goodness we had a better hotel booked from the next day but if I had to stay here for a week, I'd be checking out after 2 nights the most. Maybe it is a good hotel to stay for a short time for its convenient location, but there are tons other hotels that makes you feel like you are in Edinburgh not your grandma's old attic, so go look for those ones.
