Pros:

The room looked like a new, everything was very clean and fresh.
The bathroom was spacious with a good shower with instant hot water and great pressure.
The bed was large and comfy, very clean. We liked the decorations in the hotel and everything just looked taken care of.

Cons:

The bathroom was missing a toilet brush and any sockets. The hotel has probably one of the slowest lifts in the world, despite being just a couple of years old. The way to our room was pretty complicated, combination of the lift up and then taking the stairs down again.

I vote Aye for Parliament House
Pros:

Room was very comfortable, large bed and love the huge windows and tall ceiling. Love the spacious tiled bathroom. The glass doored closet was very cool. Cozy, welcoming lobby. Friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast was delicious.The continental had an abundant array of food. Location was great, a 3 minute walk to the train station, down the hill. Calton hill on the doorstep, for sunset and sunrise walks. Station 41 coffee a minute away, very good coffee, pastries, and staff. The Chinese noodle house a block away also very good food and staff. For a nice meal, the Cafe Royal is awesome. Really enjoyed the hotel.

Quanto basta per una notte in città
Pros:

La struttura è in posizione centrale, pulita e dotata di tutto il necessario. Lo staff è cordiale, gentile e disponibile nell’offrire le spiegazioni richieste.

Cons:

Per arrivare alla struttura bisogna salire molte scale o camminare in salita.

La stanza è molto piccola, il prezzo è in linea con quelli di altre strutture simili di Edimburgo ma come questi è sproporzionato.

Fabulous independent hotel steps from Princes St.
Pros:

Room 7 was great. Huge space, comfy bed, recently redone bathroom with a great shower. Nice view over the old churchyard. Staff was always warm and friendly when we came and went. The location was perfect being close to both the Old and New City and the bus and tram system to get anywhere, but on a quiet side street.

Cons:

Nothing.

Expensive weekend away, no frills!
Pros:

Location, graves.

Cons:

Staff may as well have been invisible. We were not acknowledged on entering or leaving the property during our stay although we had a decent check in and were shown to the room by a friendly receptionist. Housekeeping struggled to make eye contact never mind say good morning. Bed room furniture was not as advertised in the pictures and was low quality. Minimal toiletries available. No biscuits. No door on the wardrobe which wasn’t actually a wardrobe at all. Blind was not properly fitted in the bathroom.
