This was a very nice hotel. Bed was comfortable. No air-conditioning. Lots of stairs. Good location and access to tours and dining. Wish they would have had fans in the rooms. The fridge didnt seem to cool anything. Breakfast was pretty good.

Very nice location and a good spot. A little loud at night and early morning - you are very close to a heavy traffic area with a lot of people using the transportation system for work. Beds are so firm. If you're a walker like me, the bed made the soreness so much worse. Otherwise a very convenient walk to most things you'd want to explore as a tourist and not too far from some great food off the beaten path.

This was our second stay at Parliament House and we were not disappointed. Excellent location to the train station, downtown and not far from the Royal Mile - it is a great spot with large rooms to explore Edinburgh. Staff is great and very helpful with pouring their whiskey selection in the lobby. Even better than the whiskey is the shortbread provided in the room to enjoy. Highly recommended!
