About
Pure Citystay Elliott House - Edinburgh
Pure Citystay Elliott House is a 3-star property set in a Georgian townhouse on Hillside Crescent, east of Edinburgh's city centre. The 29 rooms have been recently renovated, with a clean, contemporary style. Each studio includes a kitchenette with tea and coffee facilities, a sitting area with a bean bag by the window, and a work desk — a practical setup for both short stays and longer visits.
The location is a strong point: you can walk to the main sights, and buses stop right outside every few minutes if you prefer not to walk. The property has a communal lounge and quiet study rooms, useful for relaxing or catching up on work. Check-in is between 15:00 and 21:00, so plan arrival accordingly.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited late check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 21:00, so if you're arriving later in the evening you'll need to arrange an alternative or plan around it.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which could be a drawback for those wanting to bring an animal along.
- No on-site parking mentioned — There is no information about parking at the property, so you'll likely need to rely on public transport or nearby paid parking if you arrive by car.
- Price reflects the 3-star category — Rates start at £153 per night, which for a 3-star with no breakfast may feel steep to some, though guests generally considered the trade-off fair for the location and room quality.
