Over priced for what you get, it served its purpose for me but definitely will not stay again

Basic, budget hotel close to Haymarket station and an easy walk into Edinburgh. Clean and tidy, but a bit heavy on notices and rules, which made it feel like a bit like student accommodation. That said, the staff were great and it was convenient and comfortable. Ideal if you want a reasonably priced hotel for exploring Edinburgh
First, I didn’t use the amenities but I accidentally hit a star and it wouldn’t let me not leave a star so I gave it 5 stars because I didn’t want my lower star to hurt the property.
The hotel is close to what you need, the staff is very kind, and the hotel was clean. You won’t be sorry!
Very nice and helpful staff, breakfast was great, they follow their rules very strictly I arrived earlier than check in time by an hour or more and waited in the reception area until exactly 3:00 pm my room was in view the entire time I was waiting and it had been cleaned and was ready the entire time I waited.
The Cumberland hotel was very comfortable and the staff is fantastic. There’s a bus stop directly in front of the hotel, which makes it very easy to use the buses- even the airport bus.
My room was small but functional and the bathroom was decent sized.
Location is very close to Dean’s village and the waters of Leith, which makes her a very nice walk.
Breakfast was nice, and again the staff was lovely.
I would definitely stay here again.
Not the cleanest or comfortable stay I had, but it was close to the city, it had the authentic “inn” house vibes I was looking for, quiet area and good value for the price.
Good recommendation
The property is a charming older home and the owners have done a great job of modernizing the rooms - which were comfortable and clean. The staff was great and the breakfast was good too.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff were friendly and the location was very convenient, right next to a bus stop and in walking distance of Haymarket.
We booked the 3 beds in a room for me and my kids. Apart from the stairs being quite steep, room was ok. It was built into an attic. Nothing fancy or extravagant about it. One of the windows opens right out to the roof, with a chair right by it. I dont why they didnt limit the opening just so the room is secure. Safety concern when it came to the kids. Quite an old building but well looked after
Location is great. Hotel is an older building I knew that before arrival. Only downside was bathroom was very cold. But whole experience was good. I’d stay again.
