KM Hotel

Huge rooms for a European hotel, no elevator, really high price.

4th floor, no lift. No airconditional. Breakfast is ok. But you have to pay it with room, not on the desk (expensive) Good situation, near old town.

Great partnering with a gym.

We were in Edinburgh for the Festival Fringe, so our accommodation was only for sleeping, and it filled the bill perfectly. The hotel has a great situation for the most popular venues, while still being in a quiet area. The rooms were clean and the toiletries that were provided were good quality. The room was small with a large double bed up against the wall, which meant one person climbing in and out, and you had to climb over the bed to reach the window. All this was shown in the advertising so there was no duplicity involved. The bed was clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. Reception was bright and cheerful. Be aware there is no lift and 4 floors. We would stay here again, but maybe not on the 3rd floor.

The hotel is located 12 mins walk from Edinburgh Waverley train station, good location. Everything is expensive in the area including the hotel this is Edinburgh and tourist trap almost license to make money. The rooms are quite noisy but probably more inconsiderate guests talking past 11pm. The window didn’t open as handle broken. The staff were excellent and complimentary gym pass 2 mins away.

Comfortable bed. Clean and trendy room. Excellent breakfast - traditional and continental. Negative - Very warm room and no A/C, no lift.

Perhaps there are different rooms available however our room was very small which we knew but very little space for suitcase etc. Dorm room for university of Edinburgh. There was no AC had to leave window open and they provided a fan. It was not hot this week in Edinburgh; it would have be stifling in the summer. No circulation in building at all. No elevator; we had to go up three floors with luggage. Would be challenging with mobility issues. On the positive side, great location, good breakfast which was included, excellent front desk staff. I booked through Expedia so maybe we got a lower end room. Cost for two nights in May 2024 a whopping $530 CAD. Edinburgh is expensive.

The staff was helpful. The breakfast was very good. This is more of a University property. Our window opened to a delivery area so was kind of noisy early in the morning. Our room was also Very small. And do note there is No elevator. We missed that and had to walk up multiple stairs with luggage.

No elevator, so be prepared to take the stairs. The rooms were well worth it though! Clean, modern and spacious. The heated towels and desk were a nice option

Small but with everything you would need for a weekend break. 24/7 reception friendly and helpful. No lift but stairs to floors not overly steep. Breakfast buffet with hot m cold food in adjoining building was great! Rooms quiet but surrounding streets busy and noisy at times. Easy access to pubs and restaurants! Definitely recommend as not too costly

Hotel situated very close to city center and accessible by bus. Close to University of Edinburgh, very convenient to shops and restaurants. Hotel is clean and quiet and great service. Small rooms but just what most people need.

I accept dynamic pricing but in return for high prices comes high expectation. Two night stay, room not serviced , drink tray not replenished, dirty cutlery ignored. fire doors wedged open at night, v noisy service bay at night, even with demand pushing up prices, £300 a night for a small third floor room with no lift and no public space is pushy.

Lovely room, ideal location. Breakfast was lovley and staff are very friendly. The room was clean and in very good condition. The radiator was on when we arrived however and it was so incredibly hot! Luckily it was easy to switch off and the window and fan helped cool the room down.

We stayed for our anniversary and we didnt actually realise until bed time that wed actually been upgraded to a queen size bed, which was absolutely blissful! So thank you for this. We spent half our holiday in bed. Cannot fault the cleanliness or room. Spotless. Had all the facilities we needed: kettle, tea etc, ironing board, luggage rack, hairdryer, towels. I did ring down to reception to ask for room service but other than for towels etc, they dont do this. I wanted to order some drinks but they dont do any food or drink room service or any service, other than purchasing pop or hot drinks at reception. If they had food and drink this would definitely be a fantastic 5 star review. Maybe look in to this? Even if its just sandwiches and crisps? The room was perfect. I did have trouble falling asleep though. We were room 304 and theres no view other than a uni builiding or something behind which has massive generators whirling all night. Even with window closed and curtains shut it was so noisy, but I got used to it after the first night. The queen bed definitely helped as I was too comfy to complain. If you have children or a light sleeper this side of the building isnt good for noise. I was extra cold the 2nd night and asked at reception for a blanket, 5 minutes later they brought a queen size blanket up which was soooo comfy and warm. Heating is controllable in the room. Nice and toasty. Great shower. Bed is in a great position for the TV. Breakfast fab!!

Lovely and VERY comfortable room, nicely designed, lovely bed, clean. Very nice employees.

Cozy clean rooms, clean, friendly stuff and great location. Everything you’ll need just a short walk away. We had a great stay! Everyone loved it, even my picky nephew;)

My stay was amazing the front desk people were very inviting even when my card declined for the first time. The room was very clean

Great reception and extremely helpful. Modern very clean and looked after.

It wasn’t OK stay. It’s central, and the Room had everything I need. Not giving this five stars, because the cleanliness could’ve been a little bit better. There was a hair on my shower wall and some places where the facilities were clearly weathered. Skip breakfast IMO.

No hot water for 2/3 mornings we stayed Delivery bays outside window with constant night shift deliveries/operations kept us awake all 3 nights we stayed.

4th floor, no lift. No airconditional. Breakfast is ok. But you have to pay it with room, not on the desk (expensive) Good situation, near old town.

Room was really nice, but the fan on the bathroom was really noisy! No air conditioning in the room, so pretty hot in the room.

Extremely loud outside, since there is no AC the window had to be cracked open which made it even worse and tge noise would be horrible

Some good and not-so-good things. The best thing about the KM hotel was the invariably cheerful and helpful service desk staff. If there were two of them talking, they immediately stopped and asked how to help me. They also had a very good "Scottish breakfast," with varied foods on the buffet - and they were willing to cook eggs to order in the kitchen. From the web site, I thought I'd be paying extra for breakfast, but it turned out to be included in my total price. The location was wonderful if you're interested in seeing attractions at the heart of Edinburgh. There are a lot of things within easy walking distance. It was also a quiet neighborhood, which was good, because the windows were far from soundproof - I could easily hear normal street conversations. The room itself was a mixed bag. It was clean, well-organized, but the very very small and narrow size meant that the (comfortable!) king-size bed was only accessible from one side; the other was jammed up against the wall! Even the "accessible" side only had one foot clearance from the wall, and the location of coat hangers meant that you had to hit your head or duck even on your way to the bed. There were good wall lights for reading in bed, but they were not centered because of the window position, so the side of the bed NOT next to the wall got shortchanged. There was no door on the shower, so it was hard to avoid getting the bathroom floor wet. The sink was microscopic.

Staff great. Couldn’t shower though. Staff notified x

No air conditioning was an issue.

I really enjoyed staying here for the Fringe fest! It's super close to George Square (Assembly) but still very quiet and peaceful. The room was very comfortable. It had two shower heads and a big bed. Check in was quick and easy. Would definitely stay again!

Room was small but well-appointed and cozy. Reception staff was excellent. Really helpful with transportation advice. Went above and beyond to accommodate our need to stay extra time in our room when one of us got sick and couldn’t get out of bed for the day.

Super friendly and helpful staff, comfy beds and good sized bathrooms. Good breakfast options. Nice and close to city centre with multiple transport options nearby. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

The staff at KM Hotel were top tier, very friendly and helpful. We were able to store our luggage until check in, as well as run a load of laundry at the end of our stay, which was very convenient. Breakfast was also delicious with lots of options for the buffet, and staff there were very accommodating as well. Only critique of the propery is that we were on the first floor directly above the entrance to the hotel looking over Richmond Place. It was quite noisy at night, between Uni kids hanging out smoking (the smell would get into the room with open windows, but was a little stuffy if the window was closed), and the trucks for the Lidl grocery store would be backing in in the early morning (aka loud beeps) . So I would recommend ear plugs if staying here. Very walkable to Old Town, the train station, even to Leith. Overall besides the noise, very pleasant stay!

The staff was very friendly and helpful, they supported me in all my doubts, even in the dining room. The room was very nice and clean and the hotel is very close to the main tourist places, I loved it.

Our stay was good. We had a few issues with our room but Emma the manager was fantastic! Super attentive and caring and sorted out our room issue super quickly. A bottle of Prosecco and ice bucket was left for us when we returned which was fabulous. The other staff were so friendly, I believe his name is Keith, (sorry if it’s not!!) Was so funny, informative about the local area and super helpful which was fab. My only real complaint is that the windows are super thin so the room can get quite cold at night and it’s very noisey on the front side of the building due to the local businesses, but that’s no fault of the hotel. Other than that, the location was amazing and the bed was super comfy. Thanks again Emma!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Tea selection and biscuits in the room were great. Bed was comfortable. It can be a little noisy with the windows open but generally a quiet area and around the corner from many restaurants and shops.

Difficult to find parking during the day.

Loved room. Quality shower, towels, tea coffee provided. Comfy bed. Across road from. festival theatre. Perfect- 15 walk to train.

It was close to the Royal Mile and Old town. Walkable to the train station. Wonderful staff. Rooms small but decent bed and big fluffy towels.

Comfortable and clean hotel in a central location in Edinburgh. A bit pricey for a basic room, but there may just be high demand in Edinburgh which inflates the prices. The complimentary breakfast was excellent.

Close to Holyrood Park for a run, lively streets nearby but quiet area

Lovely stay with very nice breakfast which was included in the stay. Nicely located just around the corner from the Royal mile.

Didn't sleep generators very loud breakfast options very good

Hotel room was very cozy. I was only staying for a night, so it served the purpose. Hotel reception was a bit further from the actual hotel, but only a short walk. Breakfast was quite expensive, so I opted to dine at another local restaurant.

Lovely stay, staff were very accommodating and friendly. Rooms could do with a little refurb but can’t really complain given the price we paid to be in Edinburgh so was really good value for money. Breakfast was spot on too.
