“The Broughton Townhouse strikes me as a cozy base in Edinburgh's New Town, blending Georgian architecture with modern comforts. I particularly appreciate the small touches, like individual coffee machines and the self-serve sherry and whiskey. It's the kind of place where you can walk to the station and still find peace and quiet.”

Wonderful Stay in Town

central locationspacious feelthoughtful snackspoor soundproofing
This hotel had a great location with restaurants just a short walk away. The room featured high ceilings, giving it a spacious feel. The complimentary snacks were a lovely addition, especially the Tunnock's treats. The locally sourced bathroom products also had a wonderful scent.
The sound insulation wasn't great. I could clearly hear noises from the hallway. A gap under the door let in a lot of sound.
Dining

Many eating and drinking places were located near this building. Rollo is within easy reach. The host gave great dining recommendations, too. I found great restaurants within a short distance.
Location
10/10
The hotel sits in a safe area, very easy to reach. The townhouse is in a quiet area, but it's also really easy to reach the center. It was only a short walk to many attractions.
Facilities
9/10
The rooms feature passcode access rather than keys, very practical. The hotel provided instant coffee, machine capsules, milk, and sugar! There were plenty of towels and bathrobes. I found even hot chocolate.

convenient location and comfortable stay

convenient locationfriendly staffcomfortable roominconsistent water
the location near cool places was very convenient. the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my visit. the room was nice and neat. i especially liked the complimentary toiletries, a thoughtful touch.
the hot water temperature was inconsistent. it varied suddenly from kinda warm to scalding. this made showering a bit tricky and required constant adjustments to avoid discomfort.
Service
