Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Angels Share Hotel, with its prime location near Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle, is often praised for its modern and clean interiors. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some named after famous Scottish figures like Sean Connery and Brian Cox, and the comfortable king size beds, though a few have noted smaller standard rooms. The convenience to Haymarket or Waverley train stations and the delicious food, especially breakfasts and cocktail bar meals, make it a popular choice for exploring Edinburgh.

Excellent Stay with Friendly Staff

famous person friendly staff proper coffee
Each bedroom featured a famous Scottish person. This included fabulous photographs downstairs. The staff were friendly and helpful. The 'proper' coffee in the bedrooms provided an added bonus.
The room was quite noisy. There looked to be a ventilation unit right above it. The functions that ran late into the night also added to the noise.
Location
9/10
The hotel is around a twenty minute walk from the station. It is down Princess Street, perfectly acceptable to traverse on foot. A host of bars and restaurants can be sampled venturing further back into the streets that run parallel.
Rooms
9/10
The room design is great. Each room is themed on a different Scottish celebrity. There are nice little touches like Tunnocks teacakes and proper coffee. The shower is also great and well equipped.

Breakfast was gorgeous, including many good options. The restaurant, while having a limited menu, had excellent food. There is a wonderful selection of drinks and cocktails available.

Really good Experience!

excellent coffee room upgrade convenient restaurant
The in-room coffee was AMAZING!!! I really appreciated it. I was actually surprised by my room upgrade. The balcony was a very nice addition. The hotel bar and restaurant were super convenient when I wanted a quick meal or cocktail.
I noticed there wasn't sufficient storage space for all my clothes. Some had to remain in my suitcase.
