Good value for money

The room was cosy and clean and had all the things I needed for a brief stay; hairdryer, towels, en suite, a kettle for tea and coffee, a tv. The hotelmanager and chambermaid were friendly too. Only one thing, there was this lingering smell of sewage in the room, which I didn't report.

Basic hotel with friendly service

Service was friendly and the bed was clean and comfortable but this is very much a budget hotel. Decoratively more like a youth hostel or student accommodation and fittings are showing their age

Would Definitely Stay Again

Really easy going and friendly staff, nice building, and close enough from central that walking is an option...as long as you don't have heavy luggage. Our only issue was some of the stains on the bedding but understand this can be unavoidable. The mattress was ridiculously comfy and the windows are ideal or keeping the room cool/warm. 4.9/5

Helpful service crew

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.

Disappointed

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,

Kristen

Disliked: Amenities
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.

We arrived early as in 20 minutes the owner was informative, the bedroom clearly a family room, tea and coffee provided, hairdryer provided sign saying be quiet between 11pm and 8am but you could hear people in other rooms specially when using bathroom the carpet threadbare but for the price it was ok, cuttelry would have been useful as well as plates, shower mat for safety also a good idea

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.
