It’s close to haymarket station. It’s conveniently located. The keyholes are “cute” and antique, we placed a post it on the inside so no one could see from the hallway. This was literally a peep hole. Our room was actively being renovated. We left and came back and it smelled of heavy paint, glue, nails were left all over the floor. A used towel was left on the toilet…. We had to go to the front desk and ask them to please sweep the floor since it was covered in plaster from the holes they drilled to install a shelf. We understand that things happen but that room was not ready for occupancy.

Storage space sold as a double room.
Lovely hotel initially but the double room was a closet room with a double bed squeezed in. I could not fit in the shower and the sink was the size of a shoe. Room 8 should not be sold as a room as it currently stands as it is a storage space at best. Also could not sleep as the pipes were terribly noisy everytime someone used their toilet in the hotel. Very disappointed.

Bad choice
Reach there and left as there is no parking area for the car. Have to park 5-10min drive away n walk back about 20-30min walks. They sin even want to offer parking service. Hotel looks very old n worn. Its more like a 2 story house.

This was a great stay. Hotel No 32 was relatively last minute Fringe accommodation for us and delivered a very large, spotlessly clean and well maintained room at a very reasonable rate. Staff were incredibly accomodating, including letting us keep luggage in our room 6 hours before check in and, as it was being cleaned, offering to let us change in another. The property has been well looked after and I think the bathroom might have been very recently renovated. The only slight fault was that the mattress on the (large!) bed seemed quite old, with a noticeable dip in the middle and lack of support/firmness. That meant sleep quality wasn’t fantastic. But the hotel was great in every other way.

Excellent, friendly hotel in brilliant location
We have stayed in a few hotels in the Edinburgh Haymarket area but the No. 32 Hotel is by far and away the best of the bunch. After a 2-3min walk from the airport bus stop, we were greeted at reception by Manesh who was extremely welcoming, happy to see us and really knowledgeable about the area and offered plenty of advice on how to get around. We dropped our bags in our top floor, quiet room and headed in to town to explore. When we got back to the room, we used the shower, which was excellent with great locally-produced shampoo and shower gels. The hotel is just a short walk from a number of great bars and restaurants and has it's own lovely bar just off of reception. Our room was restful for sleep and relaxation, and in the morning we went down to the breakfast room for a very generous serving of croissants, brioche, fresh fruit, porridge, and a lovely cooked breakfast, with fruit juices, tea and coffee. The staff were very friendly and attentive and couldn't do enough for us. It is a lovely boutique hotel just a short walk from Edinburgh's centre - we will 100% be staying here again when in Edinburgh. 10/10!

Ill manner host
The hotel is self is good,cosy and stylish, close to haymarket station, so easy to travel. This was what it was originally attracted me to book it. Have contacted the Hotel to leave my bag before check in time, and they have kindly agreed. But when I arrived, the owner simply wanted to put me in standard room whereas I have paid for a deluxe double room. He justified in a way that it was because I arrived earlier so my reserved room was not ready, which was completely a lie. When I talked to another cleaning staff, she is able to find me a room that I requested immediately, as there was no one occupied in it. The next morning when I went down to have my breakfast, there was a small incident that I mistakenly put the wrong size bread in an atypical toasting machine. When I pointed it out the bread got stuck and politely asked for help, the owner first refused and aggressively states that he is not a mechanic and it’s not his job. When I said to him, it’s dangerous because it might caught fire, he reluctantly opened the machine to examine it. And later on began to insult me, saying that ” you obviously didn’t know how to use your brain... this is not rocket science...”. I don’t mind apologising over my mistake, but when I reminded him that he should at least speak to me in a normal tone and polite manner, he got even angrier. from my experience, this nice hotel is run by a very impolite man, and he doesn’t know how to speak appropriately and treat his customer with respect.

Nice hotel but poor breakfast.
The hotel is in a great location, less than five minutes walk from Haymarket station. Our room was small but comfortable and the bathroom was really small but the shower was decent. Breakfast was average at best, stale brioche and mediocre tea and coffee. Checking out was weird as all we were asked was our surname and there was no enquiry about our stay. However, we slept well as although very central, the hotel was quiet and it was a great location in particular to visit the superb museum of modern art.

We had such a wonderful stay at No. 32! Everyone on the staff was extremely polite and accommodating. Everything was clean and beautifully decorated. Wifi and breakfast provided. Fast and easy check in/check out. They even held on to our bags for us after check out while we explored Edinburgh more before leaving for the airport! Would absolutely stay here again.

The owner is rude, threatening, and should not be allowed to work in the hospitality industry. Do not bring your family here, this is wonderful city filled with plenty of other nice places to stay for reasonable prices. Any responses you see from “management” are written in bad, dishonest conscious by a bitter man who refuses to admit that he needs to make changes to bring his awful hotel up to standard. I came to this hotel with my daughter and granddaughter. We arrived completely exhausted and were not even welcomed by the owner with so much as a hello. He only asked for our last name and the amount of people in our party. We said three and he immediately shook his head and said “no” one room can only be for 2 adults. However when we booked this room through Expedia there was no clear definition on this specific hotel’s policy that 17 was not considered to be a minor at this establishment. Expedia asked simply for us to say how many guests and the age of any “child” guests. We listed 2 adults and a child, even selecting the age of that child to be 17. Eventually I managed to persuade and almost beg the angry owner for our room key (mind you this had been paid for months in advance through Expedia, so he had plenty of time to alert us of his age policy). He led us to a room that was in terrible condition and smelled of urine. His definition of clean is not to an acceptable standard. We transferred to the Holiday Inn, who treated us with kindness, don’t waste your time here.
