Cairn Hotel

The hotel’s location was excellent, just a short walk from the city center. We were able to walk to all the main attractions, which made our stay very convenient. The reception staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. I accidentally left my bag at the hotel, which contained our shoes and my new Michael Kors handbag. They kindly helped me arrange for the package to be shipped to my home address. Thank you very much for your outstanding service and for everything you did. I truly appreciate your kindness and support!

Lodging prices in Edinburgh are very expensive. This property has comparable lower prices, is well maintained, clean and a 15min walk from some main sites. Breakfast includes ham, bacon, baked beans, eggs (they seem to be dehydrated scrambled eggs), etc. Our room was facing the back and was quiet, spacious and comfortable.

For a three star accommodation, I had to adjust my expectations. The hotel is conveniently located, 15 minute walk to the airport tram station and to St James Square, a famous shopping centre, and almost 20 minutes to Edinburgh Waverley. The staff was friendly and available 24 hours and stored my luggage free of charge when I arrived earlier than the check-in time. I gave three stars because the loud sounds from other room were heard in my room even at midnight. The walls could have been better insulated. Also, although the room was daily cleaned, the sink was not. Finally, the window was not fully closed maybe due to lack of AC, they wanted the room to have fresh air. This caused bees and flies to enter the room and make an annoying wheezing noise.

Nice location, a 15 min walk to the main tourist attractions. Big room. Breakfast could be better.
