We had a great stay. Very convenient, comfortable, clean. The only odd thing was that the smell in the public spaces as a little off. Either the cleaning solution was a bit too harsh or there was something with a chemical scent.

Excellent service

Very friendly welcome and excellent service throughout my stay. The building is older, with character, so don't expect soulless corporate style.

I stayed for 3 nights in quite a spacious room. Very high ceilings and large old windows. My room featured a large and comfortable bed, good sized bathroom and good heating. It was clean, had good water pressure and it was quiet at night. I had breakfast 2 out of 3 mornings at the hotel. It’s continental only. But actually reasonably priced. Cereals, tea, coffee, fruit, yogurts and more. Very friendly staff, also very funny. The location is great. There’s plenty of restaurants nearby, a huge park nearby too. Just a short bus ride into the CBD. Pleasant area too, nice old houses down the road too, made a nice walk. I had a comfortable stay and was very pleased. 👍

Good value accommodation

Pleased overall with our stay. Ensuite was rather 'tight' but plenty of hot water and toiletries. Large double bed was a bit too soft for us. Overall well situated with easy access to the city with an excellent bus service. A big bonus was the free parking.

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.
