This was a lovely hotel! Very charming! The chair in the room was in the way and not useful. We asked to have the bathroom window raised, as we could not do it ourselves. The staff apparently forgot. They did bring a fan. Otherwise, our stay was very enjoyable

The property is really nice at walking distance from the old town and it very well served by public transport. The only downside was that we were put in the attic room and the stair to access it were very steep. We were not asked if the stairs would have cause problems.

The room we had was in what is essentially the attic. An incredibly narrow staircase made it very difficult to get suitcases safely up to our room. The room was fine, but the shower area was dirty.

Well situated clean and friendly hotel.
Lovely clean hotel, run by friendly attentive staff. Great location on a main road.
A brisk walk gets you into the West End of Edinburgh in 20 minutes.
It’s an ideal spot.

Cumberland Hotel is situated in a good location for walking to everything. Breakfast included which was a bonus.
Room was basic and on ground floor so had to keep blinds closed as staff were walking past our room. Also staff closets were located in our hallway which caused abit of noise when they used them especially when we had gone to bed.
Bed was honestly uncomfortable. A thicker mattress would have been much better. Also better quality pillows. Cheap pillows give no suppprt. Staff were very approachable and helpful. Parking was an extra £15 pounds each day. Personally believe parking should be included with the price of your stay.

I love this property. It is so cute and quaint. The area around is absolutely gorgeous, the only hard part we had was having lunches/dinners. Thankfully just a bit further up the street is mamy restaurants.
