Very courteous staff, clean room, and fantastic location. I definitely recommend staying here!
15.12.2025
Amazing place to stay! The staff was incredible and extremely helpful and kind! Extremely convenient with transportation, dining, entertainment close by! I will definitely be staying here again on my next visit! Even though it is right above a bar, it was a very quiet! I have paid much higher rates for hotels that were much less than this. I would recommend to any friend or family.

Clean room and good facilities. Staff were friendly. Good location right next to a pub and grass market
14.11.2025
Staff were absolutely lovely and really helpful - lent me a brolly and then later an iron and ironing board!
However the TV shows virtual gambling by default which is pretty disgusting. Should definitely cut that out

Travelled with 4 other family members. We shared a room with 2 doubles and 2 bunks so worked out well. Very clean and quiet. Nice breakfast. Very accommodating as we were able to leave our large suitcases there for 2 days while on a tour. Would stay there again.

All good though it made me and my husband feel extremely old! Lovely little spotless room and really good vibe all round.

This hotel is in walkable distance from the Royal Mile which is awesome! However, it is very loud at night due to the bar next door.

We really enjoyed our two stays at Stay Central Edinburgh. Very clean and comfortable, friendly staff, great location. Three Sisters is adjacent so you might find earplugs are needed, depending on your room location. Sound proofing between rooms is very good.
12.10.2025
The room was clean, nice and comfortable. I appreciate the front desk giving ear plugs since there is a bar on the side that does play music most evenings. The day staff was very friendly and had good recommendations around the area. It had a great location in the middle of the city and walkable to all the big things you want to see on your visit.

It was really hard to find the room, the receptionist had to take me as she said its needlessly difficult. I couldn't get back through the door to get out of the hotel so I had to go through a separate courtyard into the bar next door.
There were several little flies in my room like little fruit flies. The sink had bits in it like it hadn't been cleaned.
There was some sort of club in the hotel and it was incredibly loud so also got no sleep. 100% not worth the money I spent to stay here.

Solid ramen, appetizers were also quite tasty. Really hit the spot on a cold day.
17.12.2017
Cold restaurant, cold food, chaotic service. Very, very mediocre food compared to other Japanese restaurants in Edinburgh, including the chains. Ramen was sparse of ingredients (I counted only 4) and menu was very limited. Won’t be going back as there are far better options in town.
08.12.2017
Excellent food and great service . It's a must the ramen soup is totally out off this world.

After 3 visits, editing my previous review.
The first time we visited, the food was delicious, came quickly and was reasonably priced.
The last two times we've been, the yakitori grill has been broken, and a 4th time I phoned ahead to check if it was working, to have the woman in the kitchen tell me she didn't know what yakitori was.
The food is decent, but I've had better Japanese food in Edinburgh elsewhere. On my second and third visit, I finally saw what other reviewers have experienced with the long waits, it was an hour from when we sat down until our starters arrived. We had ordered gyoza, and karaage.
For all of the reasons above, have edited my review to be 3 stars; "It's OK"

Not the worst Japanese I have ever had and in context to being in Edinburgh, pretty good effort. We had lunch so it was empty other than us so service was fine. Food overall was authentic and fine.
About to find out if their card facilities work as we don't have any cash on us.

Reviews23.11.2017
The menu was extensive and delicious. Table servers were attentive but not hovering and very cheerful. I had the tutto mare and it was delicious! The Gunpowder gin cocktails I ordered were also above par. For dessert we ordered the gelato and it was equally fabulous. Great views also. Bar and entertainment district is also close-by.
21.11.2017
Great food and Atmosphere. Service was very slow, staff took a long time to take our orders but food and drinks arrived quickly when they had been taken. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy at the time either.
A drink order was forgotten about by the waitress and a member of our group had to approach the waitress again to order. We also had a long wait for the card machine when paying our bill.
Would recommend the food and cocktails if you don't mind potentially waiting.

Booked last minute last night. Was greeted warmly and placed at the table quickly. Food order was taken but unfortunately had to wait 45 mins for our food to arrive. The manager was very apologetic and said that we did not have to pay for any of the food or drinks. This was a lovely gesture. Excellent customer service with friendly staff. Would definitely recommend visiting.
02.11.2017
One of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh. Great food and service. A little on the expensive side but it's definitely worth coming to once in a while for a good meal with friends. This is also where I get my favourite lemon sorbet dessert!
13.09.2017
Very happy with this place as they have a separate menu for dietary requirements. I am lactose intolerant and they provide a milk free cheese for pizza which I can rarely have as not many places have it. Service was good and lovely location looking out over Edinburgh

Had the chicken burger and fries. Very nice and big portion but the burger was not as flavorful as I would have liked but it was okay. Nice staff and quick service.

I would recommend to try their fish and chips which is absolutely fresh and delicious. The price is very reasonable. Service is relatively good.
24.10.2017
Food here was lovely and comes in quite large portions. The prices are reasonable and the staff were very friendly and to top it all off, they have a 20% student discount. Perfect for the financially restricted students.
11.09.2017
Great food,friendly service always there to please .I really enjoyed my meal the fish is massive. Would recommend to everyone. Go and enjoy ?
