Great room, and fun pub

Loved our room, and even with the busy pub our room was nice a quiet. And everything is so close by, about 5,10 minute walk from the castle

Warm reception warm room

Pros: Facilities
Cons: Aircon set to high, windows not opening
Location: Loads to see and do
Excellent facilities welcoming and friendly staff tasty breakfast only downer could not turn towel rail off and aircon set to high. No opening of window so became an oven. At one point...Staff aware....Would still recommend as rate best in city for that night, for location and facilities...Definitely for festivals.

Great hotel for the fringe

This hotel is amazing. Right at the Three Sisters so ideally placed for the Fringe. Our room was massive and had the most amazing wet room. The whole place was clean and the maid service was top class. The room has a large flat screen and 30pin iPod doc. You can also plug a jack into use the speaker system. Free wifi was great as the mobile cell service wasn't great. Also, you get a Tunnocks Tea Cake in your mug which is a great treat at the start of the day!!

Fantastic hotel to stay.

The hotel is wonderful place to stay for anybody who wants to travel to Edinburgh. Great location. Just 3 mins walk to Royal mile. The room is very clean and tidy. Powerful shower. We checked in early morning and the reception girl Maria is very helpful. She booked a tour for us in a emergency basis, so thank you so much. Highly recommended to stay here. :)

Two sisters in The Three Sisters

Thank you to a brilliant team staff, we where really well looked after and nothing seemed to be a problem for the hotel staff, even down to finding us some history on the Three Sisters( adjoining bar ) and more importantly putting us up for another night when we missed our flight home. Would definitely recommend The central Hotel and The Threes Sisters if you like it lively ( its not very noisy at all) and like people watching, if you are into the rugby stay here, has a huge outdoor screen, outdoor bars, under cover seating and heating all in an enclosed secured area, absolutely brilliant atmosphere. you should go !!
