Piries Hotel - Edinburgh

We loved the Hotel, but we reserved a room with private bathroom and they didnt have one available so we had to share bathroom.

Request for a change of assigned rooms had been fulfilled very kindly. We were a bit disappointed by getting no scottish but continental breakfest. Anyway, that one was good. The dangerous part was the icy pavement. Some gritting would have been done a good job. The bus stop and the train station nearby are very useful features.

We´ve been to Scotland many times, this time for 14 days, Piries was our last stay, it was the most expensive of all the places we stayed and also the poorest. Everything was extremely dirty, the curtains were grey and stiff from dirt, stains on the walls, the carpet, the windowsill,the painting peeling off, No cold water in the tap,we had to fetch a jug with cold water in the reception, the ventilation in the bathroom(!- call that a bathroom again!) made a sound like a huge cooker hood making noise in the whole room, the matress very poor,it was bumping up in the one end when you sat down in the other end, the whole bed almost falling apart, no space,when we placed our suitcases on the floor we almost had to crawl around to get somewhere in the room, a tiny,tiny cupboard with only one clotheshanger but lots of dirt, one socket had a sticker on saying "don`t use, needs earthconnection". So , all in all a very poor and lousy stay. We`ll never return .

Stayed last night in Scotland. not much around here to see. not many restaurants. just 15 mins from airport.

Estive no Stella em jul/08 viajando em família (mulher e dois filhos menores). Li praticamente todos os comentários e foi muito importante na escolha do Hotel. Fiquei hospedado em um quarto muito espaçoso para os padrões europeus. Os funcionários da recepção foram extremamente atenciosos conosco. O hotel ocupa um prédio antigo (não poderia ser diferente), mas necessita de se modernizar. Recomendo pelo custo benefício.

Rooms too small and breakfast quite small.Nice area only 10 minutes walking to the center. Nice employees.

OK OK OK STAFF VERY NICE AND AVAILABLE ESPECIALLY THE RECEPTIONIST. tHE GIRL FROM SPAIN AND FROM INDIA

I have never stayed in such an awful hotel. The room was shoddy, the carpet dirty and there were cobwebs on the wall, the wardrobe so wobbly we thought it might fall over, there was no hot water to shower one morning and when we asked the desk, a young man did apologise saying they had forgotten to switch on the hot water pump. The TV was probably the smallest model available on the market,a bulb in the bedside lamp was not replaced although we pointed out that it was broken and breakfast - well if you like yesterday's rolls that's fine. We asked for toast and were given half-toasted bread. All in all, at a weekend rate of 140 GBP/night, the cost/performance ratio was poor in the extreme.

Exept for the breakfast, everything was nice, specially the lady's at the reception. My only comment is that somebody promissed us to take care of our lugage the day we had to go home, it was still standing in the lounge at the end of the day. But we had a lovely weekend in Edinburgh!!

The staff at Piries hotel was exellent, the room was big and clean. It wasen´t in the center of town but I think it was nice to live just off the center. We did alot of walking. I do raelly recomend this place, specially the staff!
