Phenomenal apartment in the center of Edinburgh
Pros:

Stunning apartment! Excellent location within easy walking distance of the tram and about 15 min from Grassmarket, Victoria Street, & Royal Mile. The attached restaurants are all very good and the 20% discount to them was an awesome perk.

Pros:

The hotel's location is excellent—within walking distance of the city's main attractions.
The breakfast is excellent, and the restaurant staff are very, very courteous.

Cons:

If your room is located on the third floor, the elevator does not reach it, and you will need to climb a few more steps with your luggage.

A luxurious, welcoming place to call home & perfect retreat at the end of a day exploring Edinburgh!
Pros:

The location was perfect and near the tram line back to the airport. The room was incredible with many personal touches and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed all our meals at the hotel, both breakfast and dinner. The Kyloe service and food were outstanding and the Huxley was so comfortable it was difficult to leave. The view from the hotel showed both the Edinburgh Castle and the Nelson Monument visible in the distance.

Cons:

One of the best places to stay in Edinburgh
Pros:

Wow, what an amazing place! Heart of Edinburgh, very spacious and comfortable! Next time in Edinburgh we’re definitely staying here again! Very thankful for comfortable mattresses and pillows! Amazing people at the reception!

Cons:

Noticed some chocolate packaging on the floor, but it’s a tiny little issue. Other than that - nothing that could bother!

Perfect room to start our trip. Felt clean and high end.
Pros:

The room felt luxurious--the furnishings, the etched glasses with daily complimentary water, the view of the castle, the robes, display of liquor bottles, proximity to the Huxley restaurant which we LOVED. Nice front desk, complimentary chocolates in the lobby. Johnie Walker Experience is right across the street--very fun, multimedia tour. I recommend.

Fantastische Unterkunft, die den Urlaub perfekt macht! ❤️
Pros:

Wir und unsere Freunde haben ein kostenloses Upgrade bekommen und waren genauso begeistert wie wir! 🥰
Die Unterkunft ist einfach fantastisch: ein wunderschönes Wohnzimmer mit offener Küche und Kamin, riesige Schlafzimmer und tolle, geräumige Badezimmer. Man fühlt sich sofort wie zu Hause – nur noch schöner!

Auch die Lage ist perfekt. In etwa 15 Minuten zu Fuß ist man in der Victoria Street und eigentlich ist alles wunderbar erreichbar – sowohl New Town als auch die Old Town. Gleich um die Ecke befindet sich das „Huxley“, wo man hervorragend frühstücken kann.

Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit und hat unseren Aufenthalt noch angenehmer gemacht.

Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und gemütlich.

Diese Unterkunft ist definitiv zu unserem neuen Favoriten in Edinburgh geworden. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Tausend Dank für den wunderschönen Aufenthalt – von sehr zufriedenen Gästen! ❤️

Cons:

- alles perfekt
