This hotel is excellent but there is a lot of building work going on in the surrounding area, This did not worry us as we still had a good view of the Castle from our bathroom window. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We were staying to celebrate our wedding anniversary. When the staff became aware of this they... More

Was pleasantly surprised by the comfort and spacious room we received when we booked this hotel via lastminute.com. The suite we got was so nice that I would have no problem living such accommodation. The breakfast was buffet style and was really good also. The staff were as friendly as could be. We didnt have much interaction with them which... More

Had a very nice, short stay here. Overall experience was very good. The place was clean and the location was fairly good, being only a short walk from most attractions. The only drawback was that we could see into the surrounding apartments,which was odd to say the least

Stayed here for two nights in May as we had tickets to see Derran Brown (excellent show!) and we were pleased to begin with - modern building, nice staff on arrival, not too bad location (for the price) and the room was as expected. The only negative side was that the bathroom had quite a few shaving hairs around the... More

I really enjoyed my stay. My room was spacious, nicely furnished and clean and tidy. The breakfast was good too. The location is central but in a quite development so you can get a good peaceful night’s sleep. There service was also excellent. Highly recommended and I look forward to staying again.

This is a nice hotel well located next to the old town which is the best part of Edinburgh. Some building work going on next to the hotel but is not a problem. Staff are helpful & friendly. Breakfast is good also. The sliding bathroom door has no lock which isn't a big problem but it is when the door... More

We booked in here for two nights while we were down in Edinburgh visiting friends. I must say that it is a lovely hotel and that the idea of the separate bedroom worked well for us. I must start with the positives. The front desk staff were so amazing. All front desk staff are trained to be helpful and welcoming,... More

We stay in many Marriott Hotels but this is our first in a Residence Inn. What a pleasant surprise. Absolutely spotless! Room was great! We had a separate bedroom and a large kitchen area along with a lounge and a bathroom with a massive shower, though I still would prefer a bath too but this didn't spoil our stay! Bed... More

This hotel is new and in a great location --by the university and park, and easy walking distance to the Main Street in old town, the castle, and numerous restaurants and pubs--including Elephant House, Rowling's hangout while writing Potter! The breakfast was good with lots to choose from--but if you're not in the mood for breakfast there's a Starbucks right... More

First of all the reservations manager, David , is an absolute credit to the Inn and indeed the company. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel has a lovely crisp and had a contempory feel perfect for the younger guest. The room was superb with all facilities, including flat screen TV, WiFi and a super large shower. There is nothing... More
