# Britannia Edinburgh Hotel

A three-star Britannia on Belford Road — helpful staff and nice breakfast named as pros — with the weakest supplier headline in this Edinburgh sample and no POI rows in the ingest.

## Verdict

A budget three-star where the guest data is blunt — 5.6 out of 10 from 15,513 reviews with poor cleanliness and uncomfortable rooms named. We cite scores and cons; we do not invent landmark distances.

This seed has no POI distance rows for Britannia Edinburgh Hotel, so we do not invent kilometre claims to the castle, Royal Mile or Waverley. Location still scores 7.6 out of 10 with location mentioned positively in reviews — without a pin table we can cite.

The supplier rating is 5.6 out of 10 from 15,513 reviews, captured 8 January 2026 — the lowest headline in this Edinburgh sample. Cleanliness 3.1 and room quality 4.1 are very soft with dirty rooms and bathrooms named; value 3.6 with prices not matching quality. Service 8.1 leads with helpful staff resolving room issues named. Pros name helpful staff, good location and nice breakfast; cons name poor cleanliness, uncomfortable rooms and lack of amenities.

Filtered amenities are basic: bar, snack bar, family rooms, pets allowed, vending machines and shared lounge are listed — no fitness centre, restaurant or pool in the cited facts. Amenities score 6.1 with many items needing updating noted.

Check-in from 03:00 PM, check-in ends 11:30 PM; check-out 10:00 AM. Chain: Britannia Hotels.

## How close is Britannia Edinburgh to the castle or Royal Mile?

We cannot quote a kilometre figure — this hotel has no POI rows in the ingest. Location scores 7.6 out of 10 from 15,513 reviews as of 8 January 2026 with good location named as a pro, but do not treat that as a verified walk distance.

## Why is the guest score so low?

The supplier rating is 5.6 out of 10 from 15,513 reviews as of 8 January 2026. Cleanliness scores 3.1 and room quality 4.1 with poor cleanliness and uncomfortable rooms named as cons. Helpful staff scores 8.1 but does not offset those room-condition numbers.
