Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Crosskeys Edinburgh enjoys a convenient location close to bus stops with easy access to the city centre, and several guests found the free on-street parking particularly useful. The rooms are often described as good-sized, clean, and equipped with amenities like a microwave and kettle, plus some even have a separate kitchen; having a supermarket nearby is another frequently mentioned perk. A few guests have noted issues with bathroom odors, but overall, the rooms are appreciated for including conveniences like Netflix access and being situated near attractions such as a lovely park for morning walks.

The hotel was very clean and quiet. It sits next to the road.
The exterior courtyards hadn't been swept in a while, it had lots of dirt.

Fantastic Stay!

ideal locationfree parkinglocal supermarketsdirty courtyard
The location was ideal. It was close to a bus stop for easy access. I appreciated free on-street parking. Two supermarkets were located nearby. The room was very neat. The microwave worked perfectly. Water, coffee, and tea were available, AMAZING!!!
The outside courtyard had not been swept or cleaned for quite some time. It had lots of dirt. The dustbin also had not been emptied. I think that the courtyard needs more frequent cleaning.

smooth check-inconvenient locationcomfy bedmissing cutlery
The self check-in was smooth. the location was convenient! i could catch buses like 4, 34, or 44, reaching the city center in about 20 minutes. the beds were comfy and everything was clean. I received clear instructions on how to access my room before i arrived.
I found that there were no pans available in the kitchen. I wanted to cook! the cutlery was also incomplete, with some forks and knives missing. the staff did not replace the bins or leave extra bags, a bit challenging .

I noticed that while the hotel doesn't have breakfast, a large sainsbury's supermarket is just a 5-minute walk away. It's very convenient. the room features both a fridge and a microwave oven, great for preparing simple meals.

The owner was accommodating. He allowed us to leave our luggage early since there isn't a storage area available, i am very grateful. he responded promptly to all my questions, and the lady who took our bags was also very kind.

The location is good, just 10 minutes from the corn exchange. This makes accessing local venues easy. the hotel sits on a main road, so it's easy to get around. the leith waterways tourist attraction is also within walking distance.

okay stay experience

bus stopsuper marketroad noiseuncomfortable bed
the room included everything a traveler needs. there were details that were looked after, including different lightings, and different outlets plus a usb port. the location was good because there is a bus stop just opposite of the hotel. there also is a super market that is near to the location.
the hotel is close to the road. i could hear everything, cars on the road, and people that talk and walk inside the corridor. also, the bed was very uncomfortable and small. the next day i had back pain.
