About Playfair House Hotel

Playfair House Hotel suits visitors who want a small, straightforward base in Edinburgh rather than a sprawling resort experience. With just 12 rooms, it has the feel of a townhouse stay, and its position on Leopold Place puts Edinburgh Waverley within easy reach, making it a practical choice for anyone arriving by train or keen to explore the city on foot.

Rooms come with drinks available, and the hotel serves breakfast alongside a restaurant on site, so guests can eat without needing to venture out first thing. Free WiFi, 24 hour reception and luggage storage round out the practical side of things, useful for early check-ins, late arrivals, or those breaking up a longer journey.

Beyond the hotel, the surrounding area offers plenty to fill a stay, with pubs, restaurants and entertainment nearby, plus walking and cycling routes for those wanting to get outdoors. Golf, fishing and watersports are also within reach for more active days out, and Edinburgh Zoo is another point of interest not far from the hotel.

I loved my stay here: close to everything and the staff was just so warm and happy that you are staying with them! I paid cheaply for two nights too!

Beware… this was the worst experience I have had in dealing with a hotel ever – a really poor customer experience. Once they had my money there was a complete disinterest in providing a good service for their customer. I tried to follow up about the issues, but they don’t answer the phone and don’t return calls or emails.

Staff are great and it's next to busstops and a 5 min walk from Princess street
