Morrisons Haven Tours

Great location, comfortable bed, very friendly staff, lovely bar and fantastic breakfast

This hotel is next door to Edinburgh Waverley station, so for us arriving via train it was perfect, however if the lower entrance is not open you will need your climbing legs as to reach it there is a set of about 60 steps to ascend or a walk round the block to avoid the stairs. It is a few steps from the Royal Mile so easy access to many of the attractions along there. The staff are really helpful and welcoming and as we arrived early they took our bags from us and placed them in our room when it was ready. The room was spacious and very clean, comfortable and incredibly quiet - we heard no street noise or from the wedding party that was there the night we arrived. The hotel has a small cinema attached which is in a wonderful art deco design with sumptuous seats and allows you to take in the drinks you buy at the bar there and you get a discount if staying at The Scotsman. Overall a wonderful stay and when visiting Edinburgh again we will be staying there.

I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this place. I was initially a little skeptical about staying in a hotel over a brewpub, but it was really perfect for our family (two parents and two teens). The staff could not have been more friendly, and really went out of their way to accommodate us in every way. Having the brewpub there was actually veryy convenient - from beers on the terrace to burger dinners for our (picky) teens, to late night hot dogs, to the tasty breakfasts each morning. We never had any issue with noise. The location was also fantastic - just a block from the Royal Mile, but slightly removed from the touristy upper end. And the rooms were spacious, with fun decor - the guitar and turntables in the room were a welcome touch. All in all, we had a tremendous stay. Thanks!
