Lovely large room and bathroom. Nice but slightly tired decor in room but spotlessly clean. Very quiet despite proximity to transport links. On arrival we were concerned by large hole in reception area ceiling however we didn’t need to be as room was excellent. I would happily stay here if returning to Edinburgh as it is priced really reasonably. Overall great stay

Needs updating: shouldn't need to return keys and pick up when coming and going. Should provide parking discount code before arrival. Still a decent property near Calton Hill.

Our Double room was small and had a very stale / musty smell. We advised reception and their solution was to install a fan! This was not a realistic solution.

Great location but no AC - FYI!

The Parliament House is conveniently located near the Waverly train station and many key tourist sights, including the Royal Mile. It was unseasonably warm during our visit in May and the hotel is not air conditioned. The hotel gladly provided a fan for our room, upon request, which helped tremendously.

Lovely Hotel

It's a lovely hotel, very, very clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom was quite luxurious, loved it. It's not entirely easy to get to (up a steep hill), but the walk is worth it.
