When it comes to boutique hotels I believe it's a matter of taste. My Husband and I really enjoyed this one but it's not for everybody. It was in the perfect location for us for our 3 day stay in Edinburgh. It's minutes away from the train station, in the heart of the city, and at the end of the... More

I was a regular visitor to the bank of scotland when my dad was a bank manager there in the 80's. His office is now the reception area for the hotel and has hardly changed. We enjoyed our stay and the David Livingstone room which was small but almost perfectly formed. As this was on the top floor there were... More

Didnt stop here but had food here every time we visit Edinburgh. Its above average for pub food and very well priced and the service was brilliant. Well done the 2 young lads behind the bar who served us beer with table service for several pints before we decided to eat. Just a good place to go and have a... More

We found the Bank Hotel by accident when we looked at the current hotels in Edinburgh. Even when we saw the hotel's exterior facade, we were in love and booked us in for 3 nights. The fact that the hotel only has 9 rooms, each with its own history was yet another reason why we wanted to visit the Bank... More

This place is right in the middle of the old town on the Royal Mile, couldn't be better! The room we stayed in was a good standard and had a great TV, it was reasonably clean and well serviced. The bed was very comfortable. What let Room 6 down was the poor bathroom, it was quite shabby and the shower... More

Firstly I would like to apologise for your experience at the Bank Hotel. We pride ourselves on offering our guests a great experience in the heart of Edinburgh and unfortunately we could not honour it on this occasion. Since we are in an old building there are occasionally maintenance issues that are beyond our control and unfortunately this was the... More

Never meant to be in Edinburgh, but a combination of delayed trains (damn you, Cross-Country Rail!), lack of sleep and (let it not go unsaid) alcohol conspired to see me wake up on a train not at my intended home destination but 80 miles further north in Edinburgh Waverley at quarter to midnight on a cold and windy evening, with...

My significant other and I stayed at the Bank Hotel this September. This was an awful experience. This hotel has a fabulous location however that is all. We checked into this hotel and were made to leave passport #'s, credit card impressions and several other personal details, these should not be requested by ANY hotel as they already had the... More
