Eden Locke

"This is a great location - and the rooms are well equiped. Having the kitchenette if you are on a business trip is great, so that you are not forced to have to eat out for every meal (there is a Tesco and an M&S within a short walk). There is a decent sized table and chairs, and reasonable wifi, so can work in the room. Staff are helpful. The cafe on the ground floor is buzzy and is good for breakfast and snacks - but doesn't serve much by way of meals - though if you don't want to cook in your room, there are plenty of dining options in Edinburgh. If I have any criticisms, they are relatively minor. The first is that the lighting in the rooms is atmospheric - which means that the room is quite dark overall. However there are good task lights for the table - so no problem working in the room. The bedside light on the left side of the bed is operated from a switch near the floor on the right side - which is irritating. And at the back of the hotel you get to hear the rubbish being taken out from the neighbouring bars at around 11pm - but that comes with the city centre location. Overall, I would be happy to return."

"I booked this hotel for August 2027 with a confirmed and paid price of £181. A few weeks after booking and taking payment I had emails stating they had made a mistake on the price because they couldn’t give me the room at this rate because the fringe is on. They then proceeded to say the new price will be over £500. My options are ONLY accept the new price or cancel the room free of charge 🤷‍♂️ shocking customer service by this hotel and I would not recommend staying here to anyone because of the reason above. If I have paid and had a confirmed booking by the hotel they should honour this price, just because they didn’t realise it was the time of the fringe and being greedy trying to nearly 3x the price I paid originally they have ended with a poor review and an unhappy customer. Please avoid."

"Check in and the social area downstairs was extremely nice. For me the location was great as pretty much everything I wanted to do was within walking distance. There were plenty of stores, restaurants, and bars close by. I definitely would stay here again when visiting Edinburgh."
