“Crosskeys Edinburgh appeals to adults seeking a peaceful base from which to explore the city; the self-service check-in and fridge/microwave in every room add practical independence. I especially appreciate its location, a bit removed from the very center but still close to key attractions like Edinburgh Zoo and accessible by frequent buses. For those who value quiet and convenience, this adults-only hotel makes a smart choice.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently highlight the convenience of having a fridge and microwave in the rooms, which makes preparing quick meals easy. The hotel's location is also a plus, with a bus stop conveniently located nearby and a Sainsbury's supermarket just a short walk away, allowing easy access to both the city center and the airport. Some guests in attic rooms have noted the space may feel limited. However, the proximity to attractions like the Leith waterways adds to the appeal, making it a good option for travelers looking for value and self-catering options.

serviceable stay

well-equipped kitchen calm location minimal traffic poor condition loud noise upstairs neighbours

the kitchen was well-equipped. it had cutlery, a kettle, and a frying pan. the location offered a calm atmosphere. my room did not face the street, so traffic noise was minimal.

The apartment seemed to be in poor condition. i could hear everything.

street noise shower temperature

i was a bit disappointed with a few things. the window in my room didn't block out much sound. i could hear street noise quite clearly, which wasn't ideal for sleeping (i usually use earplugs, but still.. ). also, the shower temperature was difficult to regulate. it kept fluctuating between hot and cold, made showering a bit of a challenge.

convenient stay near amenities

reasonable price close bus stops practical amenities

The price was reasonable for what i got. bus stops are very close. the room was clean, a big plus for me. i appreciated the fridge and freezer, microwave, and dishes provided. It helped with quick meals.

the shower door opened awkwardly into the shower. this made it necessary to get wet with cold water before the shower could be turned on. the bathroom felt small compared to the pictures online.

The double room had unique wall decor and a generally secure feel. it featured practical technology alongside a good sized kitchen area. The room had all the essentials that were both comfortable and spacious.
