Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
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.

The location was genuinely excellent. I found the bathroom modern and super clean. The staff let me store bags after I checked out. It helped me a lot. The breakfast had good options too, which I really enjoyed.
