What guests think
At Adelphi Hotel, reviews describe a budget, older property with convenient transport links and park views, generally clean rooms, but small layouts, noticeable wear, and periodic maintenance issues like weak showers, faulty heating, and thin walls causing noise.
Staff are often described as friendly and helpful, with early check-in and luggage help noted, though a few guests reported unhelpful interactions or slow follow-up on problems. Facilities are basic: no breakfast, limited communal spaces, and on-street parking is paid despite some listings still claiming it is free. Expect a simple, budget stay suited to short visits if size and frills are not priorities.

Room was small over looking a scrap metal yard, also the room is so small one side of the bed was pushed up against the wall. There IS NO FREE PARKING, as it states on Hotels.com. you have to pay for parking at 6 hours a time, Monday to friday, then at the weekend it is free. We wasnt allowed in the building until 3pm, there is no breakfast, the carpet on the stairs is wearing away. Not happy with this hotel,

We were there for 5 days. Good and bad points, first on arrival there was no parking (advertised as free), when we found parking it was expensive. The location is fine, nearto buses and trams. I wouldn't classify this as a Hotel, more serviced rooms with very limited facilities - i.e no drawers anywhere to put clothes and very limited hanging space, no fridge etc, 2 of us shared the one chair between us. No breakfasts were available and there is no bar or communal area. The shower was excellent, but our view looked over a builders yard whereas the front rooms of the hotel overlooked the park. Budget hotel ? yes if your budget can afford it but I thought quite expensive for what you get -(I stayed in hotels 30 or so times a year before lockdown) We went out everyday so we didnt use the room much - its ideal for a short stay if you are not too fussy but i wouldn't recommend any longer

Love this hotel, the owner is a lovely helpful guy and very welcoming.. We stayed in the family room which was fantastic and spacious.. The only down side to this hotel (which is nothing at all to do with the hotel) is Edinburgh council have introduced parking restrictions and charges in most streets which are around £3.10 per hour in the designated bays, it is not clear and evident on how or where to pay for these charges, they run Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5:30pm .The hotel used to be able to offer free parking. If you need a hotel that is easy to find, great for the surrounding area of Leith , comfortable clean rooms, has good transport links (bus/team) into Edinburgh city centre in twelve minutes, the bus stop is right outside the hotel and the team stop is about a 3 minute walk away.. Then this is the place for you.. Were We will definitely be booking again when we are next up in Edinburgh

Locationwise totally ok. They had construction on the site, which we did not know and were not informed while we checked in. It was super loud and the the dirt /dark sand and stones) came through the air filter from the shower. After reporting, no one came to check, we were given a dirty small handbroom and no dustpan, because it was broken. Not cool.

Little did we know when we planned our stay that we would hit a bank holiday this weekend in Edinburgh. Possibly because of this, reasonably affordable rooms in the city center could not be found at all. A room at this hotel was still the most affordable. Previous reviews were often quite negative. Still, we opted for it for the cost. The carpet on the stairs was indeed quite worn and full of holes. The room was very basic, bed quite narrow for 2, bedding and towels were good. Bathroom OK. Did have to wait a long time on the 3rd floor for hot water. Previously we stayed in Liverpool and in Glasgow at the Adagio both with small kitchen. Everything perfectly fine. Price 120 - 140 pounds less. Compared with that you get here very little for quite a lot of money.

Property was very helpful with parking and eating establishments as we arrived after most eateries had closed. Good price for a large room with multiple beds, love seat, private bath, and loveseat. Minutes from downtown area across from a park. Be aware Hotels.com advertising as free parking and this is not true! Property owner has requested correction many times but sure will not update listing. Just ask where to park when making a booking.

The room I stayed in was right next to the stairs and the walls were either thin or the door didn't provide enough sound proofing. Either way, I was constantly woken up by people going down or up the stairs, even past quiet hours. I understand they can only do so much with what they have, but truly the first floor could be redone entirely and only have units on the second or third floor. The bathroom shower didn't drain and the doors barely closed, the floors on the first floor dipped so it felt like I was constantly on a slope...it was a poor experience all around. I hope they can make improvements soon!

Avoid Adelphi Hotel and Adelphi shouldn't be used in the same sentence. Scruffy does not fully encompasses how Adelphi looks. Holes in linneds, drain not working, floorboards loose, beds being old and worn out. Showers not cleaned, no bedside light. Being placed.beside the exiit door in what looked the former dining room meant you knew when people went amd came. Our friends could hear us moving about and we could clearly hear others.. Double rooms not being equipped with 120cm size bed.

We like older historic places but for $203, the rooms were tiny with part of bed against wall so head would hit wall while sleeping. No wash clothes, no working coffee pot, view of air conditioner and other hotel mechanics out window. Basement rooms maybe shouldn’t be rooms and for sure not for $200. All places stayed this was the least for the most amount of money.

This isn’t the Ritz, the whole city was sold out so we started at the Adelphi and we’re pleasantly surprised. It’s tired and old but the rooms were refreshingly very clean and everything worked fine. Staff were helpful and allowed a bag drop prior to check in. A every simple stay. Nothing negative to say at all and I’d stay again if the whole city was sold out again

Thanks for the help to keep our luggage before 3pm check-in & also with calling a taxi upon departure. Much appreciated. Anyway, we accidentally left behind 2 new luggage protectors under the bed due to the dim conditions under the bed extra space for luggage. Please keep them for your own good use. Don’t get them wasted. Thanks again, management & service crew (housekeeper & male receptionist - both are friendly & helpful). We would go back again 1 day if the rate is still justifiable in the future.

Room was small over looking a scrap metal yard, also the room is so small one side of the bed was pushed up against the wall. There IS NO FREE PARKING, as it states on Hotels.com. you have to pay for parking at 6 hours a time, Monday to friday, then at the weekend it is free. We wasnt allowed in the building until 3pm, there is no breakfast, the carpet on the stairs is wearing away. Not happy with this hotel,

We were there for 5 days. Good and bad points, first on arrival there was no parking (advertised as free), when we found parking it was expensive. The location is fine, nearto buses and trams. I wouldn't classify this as a Hotel, more serviced rooms with very limited facilities - i.e no drawers anywhere to put clothes and very limited hanging space, no fridge etc, 2 of us shared the one chair between us. No breakfasts were available and there is no bar or communal area. The shower was excellent, but our view looked over a builders yard whereas the front rooms of the hotel overlooked the park. Budget hotel ? yes if your budget can afford it but I thought quite expensive for what you get -(I stayed in hotels 30 or so times a year before lockdown) We went out everyday so we didnt use the room much - its ideal for a short stay if you are not too fussy but i wouldn't recommend any longer

The Adelphi is a clean, low budget stay, and the low cost made the trip to Edinburgh possible. It’s an easy bus ride into downtown, but the long walk along the river into town was lovely and easily navigated, too.

Love this hotel, the owner is a lovely helpful guy and very welcoming.. We stayed in the family room which was fantastic and spacious.. The only down side to this hotel (which is nothing at all to do with the hotel) is Edinburgh council have introduced parking restrictions and charges in most streets which are around £3.10 per hour in the designated bays, it is not clear and evident on how or where to pay for these charges, they run Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5:30pm .The hotel used to be able to offer free parking. If you need a hotel that is easy to find, great for the surrounding area of Leith , comfortable clean rooms, has good transport links (bus/team) into Edinburgh city centre in twelve minutes, the bus stop is right outside the hotel and the team stop is about a 3 minute walk away.. Then this is the place for you.. Were We will definitely be booking again when we are next up in Edinburgh

I really enjoyed this hotel, it felt characterful and it was perfect for myself as a solo traveller for the one night. I enjoyed the view from my room window over the park. No issues whatsoever.

A really nice hotel for a pretty good price! I was surprised how much I got! There is no breakfast, but a bathroom and a quiet environment, easy to reach by tram (Foot of the Walk). Very friendly service is included - brilliant!

Brilliant budget friendly stay. They was no breakfast service but we knew that before we came, and it didn't bother us. Tram stop not far. The only thing is that they did have free wi-fi but the signal was not that good. Very clean

We just stayed one night between the end of a tour and an early flight tge next morning. It was a safe place to lay our head for a few hours before moving on. We were met by the owner and given information about the area. We were grateful for the accommodation.
