“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.”

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.

convenient location helpful staff spacious layout dated hotel unpleasant odor unclean floor

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.
