“Good little hotel”

Broughton Hotel

4 of 5 stars

Aug 12, 2007

Stayed here for four nights, at the start of the Edinburgh Fringe. Very easy to find and a great location, just on the edge of the city centre.
We had a triple room, for just two of us, so we had plenty of room. The sash window didn't open very easily, so for someone who loves fresh air in a bedroom, this was a bit of a problem (solved to some extent, by using the door wedge!).
Found the shower rather temperamental, and the bathroom was quite small - but big enough.
The breakfast was served quite early, but it was a good meal.
The hotel car park was a real bonus.
Would recommend this hotel - it isn't fancy, but it's good. And the location is ideal for anyone wanting to get around the city on foot or by bus.

“budget is the theme”

4 rooms, paper thin doors, early 80's design & decoration in what must have been a smart georgian house at some point. Old bed with greasy headboard otherwise fairly clean. Loads of airfreshener- never a good sign...
Free parking in city center- worth gold and a very decent breakfast....almost makes up for the landlady hammering the door down at 8 am on a sunday morning to kick you out because she got the bookings mixed up. Profuse apologies later.
Perfect place for the small budget early riser who doesn't mind excentric colour schemes.

We began our five country European tour in Edinburgh and this hotel was a lovely start to the trip. The staff were very friendly. Fiona cooked the most delicious breakfasts and the location was great for exploring the city. The room was very clean and tidy and comfortable. The price was very reasonable and good value for the money. We would definetly recommend this hotel and in fact I already have to co-workers who will be travelling to Scotland later this year.

We had tickets for the show at the Playhouse and after checking yell.com we decided to stay at the Broughton Hotel since it looked close by. It was just round the corner, car parking available in small car park or on street Sat night/Sundays. Friendly owners, rooms very clean and comfortable bed, breakfast was great too. Lots of lovely restaurants near by. Excellent choice of accommodation for a weekend trip.

“Central Hotel”

4/6 found this review helpful

A very nice hotel, centrally located. Clean and the staff are frimndly. Lots of interesting places nearby for all types - museums, cinemas, gardens, architecture. Next door to a beautiful former church which has been restored as an antiques saleroom. It sits at the end of the street known as "the jewel of Edinburgh's eastern new town". I'd go back again.
