Jurys Inn Edinburgh

Location

We were staying for 5 nights but the room allotted was on a lower floor next to a building under repair and the work men on the scaffolding looked right into the room. No privacy at all.

It was relatively cheap - but not that cheap

The reception area looks swanky but it’s a fur coat and no underwear. Good location for Old and New town

Room was a time machine from the 90’s Shower didn’t work because of ‘pressure issues’. The same ‘pressure issues’ also meant the the hot water failed to come out of the taps unless they were fully opened for at least five minutes and then it took a good 15 minutes to fill the shallow bath. The maintenance man said this was always an issue on the third floor particularly in the morning because everyone was using the water. Husband had to rescue something from under the sagging couch and wish he’d left it there - disgustingly filthy and left us feeling queasy that we’d been in the same room as that level of filth. Probably not been moved since the 90’s... Relative to other hotels it’s a cheaper option but not cheap enough - I’d have paid a bit more for a consistent hot water supply and a room that had been deep cleaned in the last decade.
