Detailed Reviews
This hotel suited our needs perfectly. During our 3 nights/4 days visit to Edinburgh we felt at home. The room, or should I say the apartment, was very large. Practical furnishings, plenty of storage space, stylishly furnished rooms and a great view. There were also a Nespresso machine, a microwave and many kitchen utensils. We had a Grand Suite with a perfect view towards north, ie. Dean Village and the Britannia. The fact that there is no restaurant in the house was not a problem for us. We bought a few things, put them in the fridge and had our perfect breakfast in the morning, just like at home. The location is good and it is only 5 minutes (320m) to the Drumsheugh Place bus stop which has 12 different bus routes going everywhere.
Regarding the Hapimag Eindinburgh there is one negative point. We actually had a todo list of restaurants where we wanted to eat out in the evenings. However, we liked the beautiful view in the room so much that we preferred to eat at home and have Uber Eats deliver to us.

We are members of Hapimag and have been looking forward to visiting for a long time. We were not disappointed! We stayed in # 30, with a king size bed and a view of trees below the windows and Edinburgh Castle in the distance.
The front desk staff was very helpful, especially Raul.
Daily dish washing was available with ample silverware and dishes so eating is a good option. Tea, coffee, sugar were provided, and more items such as cheese as well as deli meats are available for fair prices along with fresh rolls every morning upon request.
The location is 5 minutes from a bus stop with frequent service. The beautiful Water of Leith Walking Path and quaint historic Dean Village are 10 minutes of a pleasant walk away in this quiet neighborhood yet Haymarket Train Station and the Princess Street shopping district are only 20 minutes of a walk in the opposite direction.

Unfortunately we booked what looked like a nice hotel for 3 nights for my birthday, the first holiday I’ve managed to have in 5 years (and I let them know that in advance and asked for a nice room). Because of storm Eowyn we had to delay by one day and night and kept them in the know as they kept emailing me of my arrival time. When we got there it was dark and they embarrassingly came to my room to ask for proof that I had already paid , I had to show my email receipt to the receptionist on my phone and send it to him it again via email! Why didn’t they check that beforehand? It was humiliating and embarrassing, and not what you want on your birthday after a 5 hour drive! Later we realised our room was below street level so we had to keep our blinds drawn the whole time as people walked past could see in! No toiletries by the bath, there was a fill up shampoo in the shower but it couldn’t be removed to take over to the bath. So we had to go buy some shampoo and conditioner which they sell near reception! Also coffee pods have to be purchased too! This place was not cheap and I have never stayed in a decent hotel that you have to bring your own toiletries ever. Also you have to pay extra to park in their car park per night.

Dear D7896ODalexandras, We sincerely apologize for the negative experience you had during your birthday trip. We understand your frustration, especially after waiting five years for a holiday and informing us of the special occasion. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, and we are taking it very seriously. Regarding the payment issue upon arrival, we are investigating why our system didn't reflect your pre-payment. This was a clear oversight on our part, and we are retraining our staff to ensure this does not happen again. We understand how embarrassing and upsetting this must have been, particularly after a long drive. Finally, we understand your disappointment regarding the parking charges. This information is usually available on our website and booking platforms, but we will review how this is communicated to guests to ensure it is clear and upfront. We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We are committed to improving our services and ensuring all our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We hope you will consider giving us another chance in the future to demonstrate the improvements we are making. yours sincerely, Max Heidrich Resort Manager

Just returned from Edinburgh and had to write about this hotel. We stayed in room 27 and it is amazing. I wanted a luxury hotel for a celebration but within reasonable costs and this hotel ticked every single box. This was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed, only downside is we couldn't spend enough time in the room as we had a packed agenda exploring Edinburgh. If you want an old traditional building giving you a luxury stay, then this is is. We had a huge comfortable bed, 2 bathrooms, huge living area separate to the bedroom and all mod cons to make a coffee / tea, fridge for the drinks and ability to make an easy meal if that's what you wanted. We ordered breakfast in the room one day and it arrived on time and hot and a cream tea on the 2nd day of our stay. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the main Princess Street and all other main areas. It's about a 15 minute walk from the tram stop which takes you into Edinburgh direct from the airport at ÂŁ8:50 for 2 adult returns. Staff were extremely welcoming and the little honesty shop is a great initiative in case you run out of anything. I did think not having a restaurant on site would be a negative but how wrong I was. Edinburgh Residence, you have a 10 from me.

The suite was magnificent, very large with a beautiful view of Dean Village. Too bad there is no possibility of having breakfast on site, you have to order it the day before to have it in your room. Private parking available if you have a car. The perfect hotel for Edinburgh.

Staying at the Hapimag Edinburgh was one of the highlights of our trip to the UK in Oct 2022. I had booked this hotel for 3 nights after doing quite some online research. It cost me around 150 GBP per night including breakfast. I had booked it on the Hapimag site and even though they take your card details in advance, they deduct the payment only after you check in. For brekafast, the hotel has an agreement with the BnB in the next building, and they provide a sumptuous Scottish breakfast.
The hotel is actually an old residence / mansion converted into a proper hotel and also has parking. It's in an upscale neighborhood in Edinburgh and walking distance from Princess Street.
The interiors of the hotel are well done and have this rustic / classic / imperial look like and take you back in time. The cleanliness is impeccable across the hotel and in the rooms. The bathrooms are grande and the rooms are provided with modern amneties and quite efficient heating.
There is a lounge at the ground floor near the reception where guests can sit, enjoy a drink or snacks from the honesty bar which is an open bar loaded with snacks, drinks, chocolates. One has to pick up an item and fill a slip with the items and put it in a small box, the same gets added to the room bill during checkout. There is no checks on this and is a compltely trust based system.
The front desk staff are very friendly, very kind and hospitable - Mariam, Kamila and Raul. They made our stay very pleasant.
I would recomend everyone to book this hotel for their stay in Edinburgh for a true Scottish feel.
You would get modern budget hotels at similar price (Eg. Yolo Edinburgh) but those are tiny basic rooms with all amneties of course, but lack the old world charm, grandness and hospitality of the Hapimag.

It's a lovely old building, clean, well maintained, large spacious rooms and staff are very nice. It was quiet during the night. The location is 30 mins walk from Waverly Station, 20 mins walk from start of New Town area but there are some local cafes and a bus stop within 10 mins. Recommend restaurant called The Palmerston (10 mins walk)
It's a strange set up with there being no services like in a hotel (no breakfast, housekeeping only on request) but it's not really an apartment either. There was a microwave and a kettle in a cupboard but no-where to wash dishes etc. Tea and coffee was supplied but you had to buy milk from an honesty bar.
OK for a short stay.

Good solid hotel.
Very spacious rooms in typical English style.
Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Cleaning service was exceptional, had many hotels, but this lady or gentleman tidied up and cleaned everything in a neatly organized manner, perfect 👌🏻 Unfortunately I forgot to leave something behind, hopefully we will get that chance tomorrow.

Yes it is appartment style having a microwave oven and cutlerey. There is also reasonably priced roomservice. No diningroom and breakfast served in room.
The breakfast are excellent, cooked to order with a good choice, have the homemade porridge to start, delicious. All served in the restaurant area. As for staff, if there open they will have staff, my favourite place to stay in Edinburgh and the food is first class.
Yes this is one of the meals available and is well presented in the dining room, with or without champagne, we have enjoyed this on a few occasions and it is excellent
