Hotel Greyfriars (Edinburgh, United Kingdom)

This hotel is in the heart of the Old Town district of Edinburgh, and near to loads of restaurants and cafes. It's just a five-minute walk to Edinburgh Castle and right across from St. Giles Cathedral.

The very accommodating staff will take the time to show you around your apartment and give you tips and tricks on how to make things work and where things are located.

Apartments are modest, but comfortably furnished with well-equipped kitchens. Apartments are clean and spacious and offer a great value. Here's a tip: these are self-catering, so hit the grocery store when you get to town.

Guests say that Wi-Fi is advertised as available, but that it really isn't, which is unfortunate.

The building has lots of stairs and no lift, so be aware of this, especially if you or a loved one lacks mobility. You will find it hard to navigate.

Some guests say this hotel is need of a refurbishment, as it feels a bit old with creaking floors and hard furniture. The décor is worn and feels run-down. With no air conditioning, this hotel will get quite warm on sunny days.
