A great classic hotel. It was a pleasure staying at the Parliment. It is a very old school hotel that has been renovated, but retained that old world charm. The staff was charming. The bed was big and comfortable and the room space adequate. The shower was very nice. It was warm though, and there wasn't any real way to cool down (even with the window open). Right next to Calton Hill and an easy walk to the Royal Mile.

Excellent Stay

We had a wonderful stay at the Parliament House Hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is located in an excellent location. It is within a 10 minute walk of the Waverly train station. The room was clean and inviting. We had a room on the 5th Floor and had an excellent view of the city. I highly recommend this hotel.

Elevator was out of service. Bathtub glass "half wall" was inadequate to prevent water from spilling out into the room. Bath towels were too small -- and the lack of small face cloths was annoying -- and staff acknowledged they receive requests for them all the time!!

This was a very nice hotel. Bed was comfortable. No air-conditioning. Lots of stairs. Good location and access to tours and dining. Wish they would have had fans in the rooms. The fridge didnt seem to cool anything. Breakfast was pretty good.

Very nice location and a good spot. A little loud at night and early morning - you are very close to a heavy traffic area with a lot of people using the transportation system for work. Beds are so firm. If you're a walker like me, the bed made the soreness so much worse. Otherwise a very convenient walk to most things you'd want to explore as a tourist and not too far from some great food off the beaten path.
