The location was great - across the street from a park, and only a short walk to the tram.

Brilliant budget friendly stay. They was no breakfast service but we knew that before we came, and it didn't bother us. Tram stop not far. The only thing is that they did have free wi-fi but the signal was not that good.
Very clean

I really enjoyed this hotel, it felt characterful and it was perfect for myself as a solo traveller for the one night. I enjoyed the view from my room window over the park. No issues whatsoever.

Avoid Adelphi in Edinburgh
Avoid Adelphi
Hotel and Adelphi shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
Scruffy does not fully encompasses how Adelphi looks. Holes in linneds, drain not working, floorboards loose, beds being old and worn out.
Showers not cleaned, no bedside light. Being placed.beside the exiit door in what looked the former dining room meant you knew when people went amd came. Our friends could hear us moving about and we could clearly hear others.. Double rooms not being equipped with 120cm size bed.

Decent
Very decent room for the price. Upgraded us to a larger suite also. Comfortable bed. Only downside was the sklight blind did not work and there was a slight blocked drain smell.

A lovely home base for our holiday
We were very happy with our stay - they upgraded us to a super large room as we were staying for a week.

Good value for money
The room was cosy and clean and had all the things I needed for a brief stay; hairdryer, towels, en suite, a kettle for tea and coffee, a tv.
The hotelmanager and chambermaid were friendly too.
Only one thing, there was this lingering smell of sewage in the room, which I didn't report.

Great price for large room
Property was very helpful with parking and eating establishments as we arrived after most eateries had closed. Good price for a large room with multiple beds, love seat, private bath, and loveseat. Minutes from downtown area across from a park. Be aware Hotels.com advertising as free parking and this is not true! Property owner has requested correction many times but sure will not update listing. Just ask where to park when making a booking.

Lovely getaway.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It may be a budget hotel, but don't let that fool you. Very nice place and, more importantly, very clean. More than happy.

Shower drain did not work in our room. Could not finish showing before the water started overflowing to the floor. Heater didn’t work when temperature dropped below acceptable room temperature.
