Flying business stay in January
I’ve been to Edinburgh several times for work and stayed in many places although this was my first time at the Salisbury. Overall I’m glad I chose to stay at the hotel. Some of the room decor would benefit from an upgrade to give a higher end feel but it didn’t impact the visit. The room was clean, comfy and had a decent shower. Due to a late arrival the hotel arranged self check in, which was easy to do. Will definitely use again.

We really enjoyed staying here. Spacious, comfortable room and the bed was super comfortable. Friendly helpful receptionists. Very close to Arthur's Seat and an easy bus ride or walk to the centre of the city. A good continental breakfast available. Lots of restaurants close by. A great little hotel.

Sketchy Wifi
I had problems understanding the hotel manager: He spoke very fast and with a heavy accent.
My tablet depends on Wifi and this hotel´s Wifi was sketchy.

Very helpful staff at reception. Attentive to our needs. Excellent area to stay with plenty of eating places and supermarkets in area. Warm rooms and comfortable beds. Breakfast is available but is a limited buffet style with lovely staff. Car parking available. Excellent value for money.
