The location of the hotel was perfect. You’re not even a five minute walk from Waverley. The room was more spacious than we imagined and the staff were very friendly. Carlton Hill is next to it for perfect views of Edinburgh. Don’t miss the restaurant Howies on the corner, best food we ate in Edinburgh! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful accommodation almost in the city center. Excellent accessibility from the airport, with public transport stops all around; you can reach the main street on foot in just a few minutes. The hotel’s common areas are very nice, and while the rooms are small, they are completely adequate. We tried the Scottish breakfast and received a full plate of food, but on the other hand, it wasn't anything we couldn't find nearby for a lower price.
These are just minor details that didn’t spoil our overall enjoyment of the stay in any way. The bathroom fan was a bit disruptive, as it continued to hum for quite a while after being turned off. In the end, we dealt with it (especially at night) by removing the key from the power holder. The room was quite damp in the morning, and it was a pity that the windows couldn't be opened.

Staff was at all times very helpful, especially when we needed help with the heat in our room. Housekeeping was flawless. The fireplace in the lobby was a godsend, as it was very cold in Edinburgh when we were there. The location makes it easy to walk to almost everywhere.
We went back to Parliament House for two reasons - the location, and the fabulous breakfasts we had there in 2017. (I have spent the last 7 years trying to duplicate the silky scrambled eggs we had there.) Alas, the cook has changed and the breakfasts were marginally edible. The first morning I ordered the Eggs Benedict Royale (with smoked salmon). The salmon had gone over and was quite inedible. The poached eggs were nicely cooked, but the Hollandaise sauce was runny and had no detectable flavor. The haggis was very unpleasant this time around, whereas before it was heavenly. The Continental breakfast was a safer option, but the pastries were consistently dried out. Very disappointing.

Excellent location, right next to the tram and not far from the national gallery and a lot of great pubs and restaurants. The bed was also extremely comfortable, sockets right next to the bed too. Good heating the room was always very warm. Mirror and sink in bathroom were nice and big and the light in the bathroom was great.
Some parts need updating, the fridge wasn't cold, there was no toilet brush in the bathroom, the bath/shower combo was also quite small despite the big enough bathroom and the tv was very small

I have stayed at this hotel on 3 occasions as it is a lovely and clean hotel in an ideal central location. A very quick walk from Waverley train station. The staff have always been helpful. I have loved the view from two of the rooms I stayed in so far (one overlooking Old Calton Burial Ground) and was a nice spacious room, and the other had a view of the front facing Calton Hill which was also lovely. I love the Brodies coffee available in the rooms too! I have recommended this hotel to people and would stay again.
The last room I stayed in I wasn’t keen on as there was no option for a bath and the view from the window was not scenic unfortunately and didn’t let in much light. However, the first two rooms I stayed in previously were great.

The location was easy walking distance from the train station, next to Calter Hill, with short walks to the Royal Mile, shops, museums, parks, etc. We climbed Calter Hill and Arthur’s Seat, toured the castle, went to several museums, and visited the extensive botanical garden. We enjoyed returning to the hotel tucked into a quiet street with a fireplace in the reception room. (Even in May, a fire was welcome.) For breakfast, there was a choice of cooked food along with the continental breakfast spread, or cold food only. There is a recommended restaurant (Howi’s) within steps of the hotel, but it was booked when we checked. We found good casual food places a few blocks away on Rose St.
It wasn’t a problem for us, but the breakfast room is down a few steps.

The room was efficient and had everything we needed. Excellent location, walking distance to just about everything. Absolutely loved the heated towel rack. Will definitely stay here again!!!
I could tell the comforter at the end of the bed had not been washed. As they are typically for show. I've been told by numerous friends and family who have worked in hotels that's a common thing. So I never use them anyways. Room was hot at night even though I turned off the radiator.

Our room was very quiet, private, and clean with a nice view. The location was excellent for our needs. Parliament House Hotel is about 5 minutes walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station and is very close to other public transport. It is also an easy walk to the Royal Mile and Prince's Gardens and other places of interest.
Not a problem for us, but our room was on level 4 and the lift only went part way and then stairs after that. Those with mobility issues should check that they have a room on a floor with easier access, if this is a requirement.

The Parliament House was just so nice and cozy. A fabulous location, near the train station, easy walking distance to the Royal Mile and all that offers and right around the corner from the starting point of the hop on hop off buses. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby. It's quiet and comfortable though and the staff was wonderful to us. There is breakfast available there for a fee, and it was very good. Drinks are also available in the lobby, which is really cool. We just loved it there. We felt that for the location, we got a great value.
It was all good.

Location is good, especially arriving by train at Waverley - short walk on the flat, except for last bit which is slope downhill. The guy on front desk seemed helpful, we didn't need anything but I could hear he was being very helpful to other guests.
I really didn't like that we were not told in advance that the room was down a windy stair case (approx 2 flights), this was after going up in the lift. I understand there is some history behind it as an old building, but surely the hotel should be making people aware of the inaccessibility when booking these rooms - we managed, but honestly a lot of people with mobilty issues would struggle.
