Piries Hotel Review

Built in 1845, the 3-star Piries Hotel Edinburgh is located 5 minutes' walk from Vietnam House Art Gallery in West End with gay bars in Davie Village, chic fashion stores on Robson Street, and diverse dining ranging from ramen shops to seafood grills. The low-budget hotel also provides car rentals to explore the area.

Cucina LC offers a selection of dishes a few metres away from this Edinburgh hotel.

The combined National Museum of Scotland is at a 2.4 km distance from the designer property, while Edinburgh Old Town is within 2.3 km of this place. The modern Piries Edinburgh offers proximity to such natural sights as the landscaped Princes Street Gardens (1.9 km) and Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (2.2 km).

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, conveniently close to Haymarket Station for trams and trains, allowing easy transportation around the city. The hotel facilities were great, with a spacious and comfortable room. The cleanliness was also top-notch, with the room being cleaned daily. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, available 24/7. I couldn't have asked for a better stay in this city.
Nothing, no complaints at all.

Hard to think of anything.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, just a couple of minutes away from the center by tram/bus and 10 minutes by walk. It was also conveniently close to the Haymarket shuttle station and within walking distance of both the old and new town. The room was spacious and the bed was big and comfy. The hotel was clean and had good safety measures in place. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating, especially Giuseppe. I also liked having tea and coffee in my room.
Nothing, it was perfect.
