Park View House 14 Hermitage Place, Edinburgh EH6 8AF

"We arrived at the PVHH, to find out that we had a Souterrain room, which was seriously gross. There is no problem with a room being simple or a little older but this was just terrible. Decided to leave after 5mins, because we couldn’t imagine to stay there over night and got another hotel room at an Holiday Inn."

"When we arrived here our room was off the main hotel, we had to come out of the main hotel to get into our what I can only describe as a prefab style porter cabin! Being December it was freezing! When we got inside it wasn’t much warmer than outside! We were given a small portable heater that we literally had to be glued to!! Don’t expect anyone to greet you either! If you need anything nobody can be found! You have to figure out where your room is from an email they will send you. To top it all off I seen a mouse run across the floor of the main hotel. Very run down and grubby! €300 for 2 nights absolute robbery!"

"My friends and I were a bit concerned after reading the many negative reviews of this hotel. However, we had an absolutely delightful time. Our room was perfectly clean, the beds were sleepable (with no bed bugs), the water pressure was great, and the neighborhood was NOT sketchy. (The park is quite lovely and there were many good restaurants and pubs in the area.) This is a great option for anybody (especially students) who are looking for an affordable hotel in Edinburgh. It’s located right by a bus stop that will take you wherever you want to go. There was no blood on the walls, no pubic hair on the toilet seat, and we have not encountered even a single staff member. There are many clean towels if you just open your eyes and look. Paradise! We would live here if we could, and we will not be taking the legal route (only possibly to purchase this hotel). Sincerely, the annoying Americans in the basement P.S. This review may be comical, but it is serious and truthful."

"Cheap accommodation that does little but provide the basics. Room clean enough but was nothing special. Reasonable self check in, although some other guests were struggling. Our room was in an extension in the car park so you had to go through the building to access it or down a scruffy back lane. Furniture was of average quality and you could see some pieces had been recovered from a much grander location and repurposed. Location was good however and as a base for seeing the area suited us well. For the price I would've expected an awful lot more (more expensive than a Holiday Inn with gym/pool and breakfast we'd stayed in near Glasgow a couple of nights beforehand) Wouldn't return unless no other choices and would look around for alternatives further afield than stay here again"
