“Britannia Edinburgh Hotel benefits from its riverside position and proximity to Edinburgh's attractions; families and pet owners may appreciate its affordability and acceptance of furry companions. However, some rooms appear worn, and experiences seem inconsistent, suggesting variable upkeep. Budget-conscious travellers may find value here despite some drawbacks.”

Solid Stay, Great Location!
public transportclean roomfriendly staffeasy parking
I found the hotel near shops, restaurants, and public transport. My room was quite clean. I especially liked that the staff were friendly. The hotel had easy parking, a definite plus for me . The location provided quiet relaxation with outside seating in the back area.
The shower head in my room was loose... It was a slight inconvenience.

The location is quite convenient. It is within a sensible walking distance of the city center. The staff members were consistently kind and helpful. My room offered a spacious layout.
The hotel seems quite dated. It needs some improvements. The bathroom had an unpleasant odor. It smelt of feet. the floor did not appear to be thoroughly vacuumed.
