Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Cumberland Hotel presents a traditionally Scottish experience with some spacious rooms. Guests often appreciate the convenient location, with Haymarket Railway station and bus routes to Princes Street easily accessible; in fact, the airport bus stops right at the hotel's doorstep. Some guests have observed that the hotel shows its age, but many find it a good value given its proximity to the city center. A few rooms offer beautiful views, and amenities such as a mini-fridge and restocked tea/coffee are generally well-received.
