About
Edinburgh Townhouse Hotel
Edinburgh Townhouse Hotel sits in the city's New Town, an 18th-century district built to ease overcrowding in the medieval Old Town. The hotel is compact—just 10 rooms—and guests consistently mention the central location, with the Royal Mile a 13-minute walk away and many attractions reachable on foot.
Rooms come in twin, single, and triple configurations, and several have views over the sea or the castle. Standard amenities include Wi-Fi, an electric kettle, a flat-screen TV, and parquet floors. Some rooms have a shared bathroom, while others are en suite—worth checking when booking. The property has no lift, so be prepared for stairs.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Steep stairs and no lift — The property has multiple floors without an elevator, which may be difficult for guests with mobility issues or heavy luggage.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Not all rooms have a private bathroom; the classic double room in one review had a shared facility, which may be a consideration for some guests.
- Beds can be small — One guest found the bed uncomfortable and small, and the attic triple is described as 6 ft 3"—a tight fit for taller guests.
- Limited in-room features — Rooms list Wi-Fi, a kettle, a TV, and parquet floors, but there's no mention of air conditioning or a minibar; amenities are basic.
