Travelodge Edinburgh Central

Great staff. Hard working bunch. Not a staff problem but make sure that you are not next to rowdy group or children as sound travels inside the large concrete building.

Great location, super friendly and helpful ppl behind the desk (they did in fact hold our luggage, which was a very pleasant surprise). Beds were quite uncomfortable, especially the rollaway for our son, pillows also flat and hard. Room was clean, but zero amenities aside from an attached shampoo/body soap on the wall. We are ok with budget hotels, but the beds have to at least be comfortable. One other small, weird issue: at the breakfast buffet they have the plates fully stacked up under heat lamps, with a little sign overhead you may or may not see saying may be hot. They aren’t hot they will give you a second degree burn on your hand. They half heartedly put some napkins also on top to the side to use to hold them, which may or may not be noticed. I saw them but it didn’t register that it was to hold my plate, as I’ve never needed it before. I don’t know about you but this is totally unacceptable to me, thank goodness I learned thi lesson the hard way and not my kid. It’s a super easy fix too: don’t stack the plates all the way to the top where the lights are, take out a ligh bulb or two, etc. I don’t think we would stay here again, but over all It was a decent experience. The staff watching our luggage made up for the discomfort and the burn on my hand.
