the salisbury hotel is set off a main road but is still very quiet definitely a boutique hotel and the single room was lovely with a fabulous ensuite with free toiletries/shower gel/shampoo..great shower as well loved the window seat and shutters...with luxury curtains bed was very comfy and there was a mini bar/snacks..which didn"t use there"s also a kettle and coffee machine..nice touch with the wee packet of biscuits didn"t have breakfast as prefer something more than a continental...but the hotel does recommend the wee cafe across the main road..which did go to..very nice there"s a pub called the abbey further down the road turning right when you leave the hotel and does a full breakfast with tea/coffee for £7,50 there"s many buses that pass the hotel to take you to/from the centre of edinburgh...get off at the salisbury place bus stop and hotel is just round the corner walking to/from the centre of edinburgh took me 25 minutes to reach the royal mile i was in edinburgh for the castle of light and the salisbury hotel was very reasonably priced compared to others will definitely stay here again.. staff are brilliant and friendly

Very helpful staff at reception. Attentive to our needs. Excellent area to stay with plenty of eating places and supermarkets in area. Warm rooms and comfortable beds. Breakfast is available but is a limited buffet style with lovely staff. Car parking available. Excellent value for money.

Hotel and staff were lovely. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms the shower pressure was a bit naff but that’s to be expected in a big house. Breakfast was okay, I didn’t realise the cold breakfast was to be paid after our stay. If I knew this I would have eaten else where as I don’t think it was worth the money for what I ate.

Staff were very pleasant and efficient, very helpful. Room was quiet and spacious and offered us the rest we needed from a long overseas flight. Dining area and bathrooms in hotel were down a level with steps and uneven floors. Also luggage had to carried up and down stairs to enter and leave the hotel! Great walking location!!
