Travelodge Edinburgh Central

We booked the room for 3 people as a family for 3 nights. The room was acceptable with 1 queen bed and 2 singles. Quite clean, a bit dusty, but acceptable. No complimentary water given. Only tissue paper in the toilet is provided. The vending machine was broken on the day we arrived, the reception ladies told us that tap water is definitely safe to drink all over Scotland, so we did. The staffs were so friendly every shift we met. It was really safe at night when we arrived at 1am since the front gate is always locked and you have to contact the reception via intercom. The breakfast was really good for a budget hotel. No fresh salad provided, but there were frsh fruits. The rest were all great taste! The people there are so quiet. Made it a very good night sleep.

Great location, just around the corner from the Royal Mile, and hop on hop off buses. We had a rental car and used the parking lot behind which is a bit of a walk with luggage for disabled persons, as no direct entry to hotel from the rear.  Breakfast is extra but was worth the £11.99 for us as we tend to snack during the day.

The service the first time was very poor it was like the staff didn't want to be there. The amenities in the rooms are very limited no bath mat or hairdryer. And we couldn't open the curtains as we were right on the street, no privacy. It was good that the hotel served breakfast. However, this morning, we had to wait for a table. However, you can't pre-book a table, so it's a bit odd. When we ate dinner there, we had to ask someone to serve us, take our order, drink, and get the bill. The location was close to the train station.
