Lovely ground floor room , with great amenities. Fantastic welcome from Allessio on the reception desk, he couldn’t have been more helpful and nothing was too much trouble. My only concern was there was no rubber mat in the shower and I found the floor very slippery.

A bit tired, but refurbishment in progress. A delightful period property. The shower was a later addition to our room and a bit small. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is very good, away from the centre but only a few stops on the frequent buses - never waited more than five minutes!

The Salisbury was a beautifully restored old home in a quiet neighborhood of Edinburgh. We loved our room and the high ceilings, which overlooked the garden. Parking was a little tight, but understandable for the area. One of the highlights was meeting the desk clerk Alessio who greeted us warmly and answered all of our questions about the hotel and area. Just far enough outside downtown to be quiet, but close enough to catch a bus or take a 20 minute walk to the Royal Mile. Breakfast was hearty with many options to get the day going. Would highly recommend!

A friendly and clean hotel however not that good for a disability challenged person. There is no lift and no ramp. The stairs inside are narrow and winding with a small handrail especially to the basement where breakfast is served. Breakfast was not included but at £12 for a continental breakfast was worth it given the amount of choice. The room we stayed in was called Highgate on the first floor ( not good with heavy cases) but it was a reasonably good size and comfortable bed.The bathroom had a small sink and toilet with walk in shower. There were no hand grips in the shower and the flooring was slippery. A towel rail was also in there turned on constantly which was good as the radiator wasn’t working.The bedroom was cold with a draft coming from a window with shutters tha didn’t fully close and inadequate curtains. Basic tv and limited hanging space. Lighting was limited to two bedside tables and a central light above the bed but no light near to the doorway. There was a small fridge but also chargeable dinks and snacks. Best way into Edinburgh Centre is to turn right out of the hotel and walk to the crossing, then cross the road and walk to the right to the bus stop, about 25 metres stop called Newington road and most of the busses go into town as it’s 5/6 stops and a straight road so you could walk it.

Parking is limited it’s first come first served. Not sure about breakfast as we didn’t have breakfast there. You do have shampoo conditioner body wash included and you also get toothbrushes and toothpaste incase you have forgotten. Staff was lovely and friendly especially Aliseo. About 30 mins walk into the town center lovely place to stay where you won’t need to drive.
