  79 Lauriston Place - EH3 9HZ - Edinburgh, United Kingdom View Map

The original maternity hospital was dedicated to Sir James Young Simpson, discoverer of Chloroform. This hostorical slant on the property and its extremely homely feel, make it a much sought after property in central Edinburgh.
A couple of minutes' walk from Grassmarket and within easy reach of both the castle and Princes Street, this is an excellent central location.

Great stay

We stayed here for 1 night in may.
although quite a dark place everything was fine.
our room was very spacious and the beds were comfortable.
the staff were very friendly and the scottish breakfast was delicious.
the location is in lauriston place which is a 5 minute walk from the grassmarket.
ot was formerly the simpson maternity hospital so it has quite a bit of history.

Winter week-end in edinburgh

We spent 3 nights at the best western hotel in lauriston place, edinburgh. we booked well in advance and got an excellent price (£155 for 2, breakfast included). the place was clean, comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful.
the location was excellent, with easy access to most places of interest. noise was a problem, but was overcome with the use of earplugs; the hotel might think of providing these with the bathroom toiletries.
perhaps a room on another side might have been quieter.

i would stay there again
