28 York Place, Edinburgh, City Of Edinburgh - Scotland, EH1 3EP, United Kingdom
In the heart of Edinburgh, a 5-minute walk from Waverley Rail Station, 28 York Place Hotel offers a lounge bar, free WiFi and bedrooms with views. Each standard bedroom has private bathrooms with a bath and a shower. Each bedroom has private bathrooms, some rooms with a bath and shower, and some with a walk-in shower. All rooms have a hairdryer and handmade Scottish toiletries. The hotel is housed in a listed 18th century Georgian townhouse which means we do not have a elevator. We recommend guests who struggle with stairs consider a hotel with elevator access. Some rooms overlook historic York Place and the others have views over Edinburgh’s landscape, the River Forth and stretching to the Kingdom of Fife. Princes Street is also just 5 minutes’ walk from the hotel and Regent Gardens is 10 minutes’ walk away. Edinburgh Airport is a 30 minute tram ride away. Breakfast is served 8:30am-10am Monday-Sunday.

I only stayed for one night, but the location was great and the room was clean and as advertised. It's an older building so there are some modern things that they don't have like no elevator or AC but neither of these bothered me. A staff member helped me carry my bags to my room, which was nice. The view out of my room's window out over the city and the river forth was amazing and probably my favorite thing about the room.
I like it to be very dark when I sleep and I felt like I had a hard time making it dark enough with the shades provided, but that is a nitpicky thing specific to me.

Brilliant location, staff went above and beyond to make the stay comfortable. From providing Scottish treats on arrival to offering an additional broad range of items and books in cupboards on each floor, 28 York Place was a home away from home.

Very clean, well maintained, tidy. Comfortable beds, great shower, lovely toiletries. Very convenient location with respect to Waverley train station and bus station, as well as a huge shopping centre just across the road. Friendly and helpful staff. I’ve read other reviews and can see some guests struggled with the temperature in the rooms. I imagine it is rarely as warm as it’s been recently in Edinburgh. Since the hotel being situated in an old townhouse, it is simply not possible to install air conditioning throughout. However, we did have a desk fan and a big floor fan in our room, which was enough to cool us down. At £140 per twin room I was very pleasantly surprised at the value for money. Would definitely highly recommend!
I don’t have a single negative thing to say about the place.

Great location in the town center, employees were very generous and nice. Employees helped us get our bags up the stairs.
No air conditioning, no elevator, so it isn't the best for those with mobility issues or heat-related illnesses. (We did visit during the hot part of the year though.) We were given extremely dirty/dusty fans to use, which was only going to make the room dustier, but at least cooled the room a little. Breakfast was OK, but very expensive for what we got.

Friendly welcome. Great location. They reached out before with some questions which included arrival time. When I told them around 12:30, they said they would try and have the room ready early, which they did. They also had somewhere to store luggage. We also really liked room only, with a simple and sensibly priced simple breakfast option - cereal, toast, fruit. If you wanted more than that, they recommended various local places to go - what a great approach.
Very little and would happily stay again. It was 28C, not at all normal for Edinburgh, so the room was very hot. They had popped a small but efficient fan in, which was a godsend.

Good location if you need access yo the bus station. Staff was always friendly when we interacted.
Breakfast was a bit limited and pricy for no hot food. No elevator in building and no A/C in rooms.

Staff on reception welcoming. Location ideal.
Lack of staff during night. Road traffic noise unbearable. Interior decor could be improved. No instruction on how to operate heating.

Lovely little hotel in the heart of Edinburgh, great location and very comfortable stay. The staff were exceptional though and made the whole stay for us even more special. I had mentioned that we were visiting Edinburgh for my birthday and after a day of exploring the city, we came back to our room and found a hand written card, a little bottle of whisky and balloons scattered across the bed. What a wonderful little surprise it was. Can’t thank the staff enough for a great little stay. Highly recommend staying here if you want to visit Edinburgh!

The staff went above and beyond to help celebrate a birthday while we were there. Bubbles, chocolates, balloons and banners in the room whilst we were out.
Private party in the bar when we arrived which meant we couldn't get a drink on arrival and weren't prepared informed of the event.
