Stayed at Palmeston Suites Edinburgh recently and unfortunately had a very bad experience.
The room itself was clean, warm, and reasonably comfortable, and the building has an older style/charm. However, when we arrived, there was a rat inside our room.
The worst part was that reception is not open 24 hours, so we were unable to get immediate help or request a room change. Because the reception hours did not match our schedule, we ended up having to stay in the room for 2 nights with the rat still there.
What surprised me most is that I checked reviews before booking and did not see anyone mention this kind of issue.
I understand old buildings can have problems, but this should have been handled much better, especially regarding guest support and availability of staff in emergencies.
Would not stay again unless these issues are properly addressed.

Staff were lovely, although we had a few issues with the room. 2 broken plug sockets, one of which had caused an electrical fault and was covered in soot, the other with a broken plug still inside it. The Hot plate would take 90 minutes to cook anything. The shower leaked across the floor and one of the radiators was broken. I was supplied a bread knife for general cooking, which made food preparation difficult.

Loads of space and great location.
Have stayed a couple of times now and have just re-booked. Great location, within a super easy walk to the tram, loads of bus routes etc.
The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. Check-in is easy, too.

The property has the potential to be a sort after place to stay as the features of the building are fabulous. The beds are very comfortable.
A proper refurbishment is needed.

The hotel is in a lovely location and close to transportation. It is a beautiful historic building on the outside, but the room desperately needs updating, i.e. curtains, carpet, kitchen, furniture, etc. The weather was warm when we were there and it was suffocating inside, especially since the window didn’t open.
