Great hotel in the heart of Edinburgh.
Pros:

Great experience. If I ever visit Edinburgh again I would certainly stay in this hotel.

I was travelling with my wife and adult daughter and took 2-bedroom apartment. Very spacey (booking.com said it is 50 square meters but I think it is bigger - must be some sort of underestimation :)). Nice modern design. Very comfortable beds. Great facilities.

Cleaning was every day and they replenish tea, coffee, water etc. Very clean.

Staff was very friendly. And it was natural friendliness, not the one people sometimes are required to demonstrate at work.

Location was excellent. Close distance to everything. For 3 days we did not take neither bus nor taxi and have explored the city a lot.

Highly recommend.

Cons:

Nothing really. Struggling to find something.
I suggest that better photos are put on Booking com. The photos currently there undervalue the hotel and do not provide the full picture.

Zeer fijn en luxe verblijf nabij hartje Edinburgh
Pros:

Wij waren bewust rond 11 uur ‘s ochtends al bij het hotel met de bedoeling onze bagage te droppen zodat we de stad alvast konden gaan verkennen; dit was uiteraard geen probleem. Daarnaast werden we verrast met een gratis upgrade van een hotelkamer naar een appartement - deze was zeer ruim, erg netjes en mooi ingericht! Toen we in de loop van de middag terugkwamen om onze bagage op te halen was deze al naar het appartement gebracht (waarvoor dank!). The Rutland bevindt zich aan de rand van het centrum; the Royal Mile is een klein kwartiertje lopen.

Cons:

Niet perse een tegenvaller maar een puntje van aandacht:
Ontbijt was in het naastgelegen restaurant. Het ontbijt zelf was goed, alleen was er wat onduidelijkheid over of er al-dan-niet betaald moest worden. Uiteraard hoefde dat niet (we hadden bed & breakfast), het zou duidelijker zijn als men bij binnenkomst om de kamernummer had gevraagd en dan tekst/uitleg had gegeven. We zagen overigens dat het voor meerdere hotelgasten niet helemaal duidelijk was.

Pros:

We were upgraded to an apartment because our room wasn’t ready yet which was very very nice! The room was awesome. The people were so friendly. I would definitely come back.
