No title - expert review
Each room at this small, centrally located hotel in a converted 1923 bank honors a famous Scotsman and is individually decorated with books, telescopes, and even parts of a steam engine. The massive bathrooms have enough space for antique dressing tables, and many rooms overlook the Royal Mile. This...

This hotel offers better value than many of its competitors in this congested area on the Royal Mile where the High Street intersects South Bridge, across from the Tron Kirk. From the 1920s to the 1990s, it was a branch of the Royal Bank of Scotland, and the past is still evident in its Greek-influe...

Fun place for a couple of nights, but wearing for longer stays. Mattress was worn out. Room was, however, quite attractive and huge by european standards. Can't b...

Difficult to sleep - user review
I stayed at the Bank Hotel right after the Festival in September, 2006. The good part is the location. Right on the Royal Mile and close to everything. I walked to everything. Most of the time I didn't hear the bar downstairs except for Tuesday night which is Kareoke night. It was extremely loud and...

bad value - user review
ok, the hotel is central and each room is dedicated (and in style with) to the most prominent scots of the past (I was given the Graham Bell room with a fake switchboard on the wall opposite the bed..), which is nice. BUT, no elevators (three storey), poor quality breakfast and sagging windows.. goo...

Great Location - user review
Right up the road from the Castle and a wonderful, wonderful restaurant (The Witchery). If you're looking for Scottish souvenirs, this is where you want to be. The pub is fun, but a little loud. Ask to be in a room on one of the higher floors. But beware... there are no elevators! If you have alot o...

Great Tourist stop - user review
Stayed there 2 nights with my family. Each room was cosy and originally decorated. The step into the shower was a tad high if you have leg/hip issues, other than that no complaints. The staff did their best to help with every detail. The only detractor is that it is a rather old building after all a...

Character filled, quirky, noisy, physically demanding stairs, no lift. - user review
The Bank Hotel is a great place for strong, young people who like to pub it up all night long. All rooms are upstairs, no lift. Guests eat breakfast in a loft (more stairs), from which they may be evicted if the Bank books another group. No handicap access. Karaoke. Loud square next door with youth ...

Perfect location - user review
This hotel is right in the middle close to everything on the Royal Mile. We were extremely satisfied with the location and service, but the mattresses needed replacing (one had a huge sink hole) and if you are looking for quiet, maybe the floors up top would be your best bet. The pub band could be h...

Great location & a fun hotel - user review
We had a great time here there's a nice pub downstairs & the bartenders double as hotel workers. They were great. If you want complete quiet, this probably isn't the hotel or the location for you. We were on the first floor of the hotel, right above the pub, and it was quite loud at night, but that ...

not for everyone - user review
We pretty much had read previous reviews and therefor were not disappointed. The telephone in the room never worked over our 3 night stay and it was suggested that we could use the phone in the reception area. However, that reception area being right in the midst of the rather noisy pub, it was as i...

Most appalling hotel booking experience ever. Booked 2 months in advance choosing location of hotel carefully to suit logistics of our stay. One week before Bank Hotel rang up to cancel the booking (said this was to accommodate guests who had decided recently to extend stay). Had located hotel with ...

Overall the accommodation was good and the breakfasts very filling and tasty. Didn't like framed insects on the wall especially the spiders and the shower in the en suite was a foot off the ground and caused difficulty getting out of shower (fiance banged toe causing it to go black). Nowhere to plug...

The staff were very friendly, the room was adequate for what we needed. There are plenty of restaurants and eating places close by to it. I wish I had known it was a Pub more than a hotel as we had a child with us and therefore had to eat out as the child was not allowed to be in the pub after 9pm, ...
