When entering the room it looked clean, however we started to notice that there was ketchup left on the table, and we had a cracked cup that was leaking. The toilet is nice and clean a but small but good. ||Parking is good. …

A lovely hotel! I have always avoided the Travelodge Hotels as many of them look a bit grotty on the outside....Never read a book by its cover. The Fringe popularity forced us to book Travelodge Edinburgh Park, and we were pleasantly surprised. With it's convenient on site parking, and quick bus ride to the Royal Mile, this hotel is a gem. Beautiful modern interior, lovely bar and restaurant area. Lifts took us to a beautiful spacious room with enormous bed and large shower. Breakfast was beyond delicious, with a variety of foods to please everyone. Staff were helpful, kind and friendly. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. We will be back. Oh, and a quick walk across the street, you are at the Mall.

Not what we were expecting. We have stayed at this hotel in the past because of the location, rooms, parking and pets allowed. We were happy with the hotel. Hotel obviously being used to house people now. Not what we were expecting on our holiday. Not a holiday vibe.

The location is a bit far from the city centre but there's bus and tram liking there just behind the hotel. It is my first time to stay in Travelodge and I am shocked there is no free wifi, come on... it is already 2024. And no hairdryer is placed inside the room - you need to ask for one from the receptionist. The facilities in the room is not satisfactory. Both hand-wash and body-wash dispensers were stuck and not functioning well. Dan the receptionist was nice enough to fix the hand-wash one, but no one came to fix the shower dispenser during my 3-night stay. What is most ridiculous... Dan the nice guy passed me a cup of bodywash to use instead. There is no lock on the toilet door, not enough hook. No room cleaning even we hung the tag on the following days and they just replaced the towels. For breakfast, I have had the worst scramble egg in my life, it's tasteless and rough. Choices are minimal. Overall, I may not consider any other travelodge in the future.

Our room was on the 2nd floor, the carpet hadn't been hoovered. We were rushing out of the room for an appointment, when we got back there was an overwhelming smell of bleach, so much so our eyes were nipping.  …

Decent sized rooms, comfy beds with loads of pillows. Bathrooms are ok. There's a massive carpark and good public transport to the Edinburgh. £230 for a basic double room is nuts though.... bloody festival prices 😅 Only an extra £10 for late checkout is reasonable though

Apart from awkwardly finding out there’s no lock on the bathroom door, the service they give is AMAZING! I am highly allergic to gluten and the manager still cooked different things for me, very very appreciated, thank you!
