Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Cumberland Hotel's location proves advantageous, particularly with the bus to the airport stopping right outside and Haymarket train station nearby. Guests appreciate being within walking distance of Murrayfield stadium, while the city center is easily accessible by tram. Rooms are spacious, and some offer views of the lovely surroundings, like Donaldson's Collage. A few guests have mentioned thin walls, but overall the hotel provides excellent value for money.
