InnerCityLets - Royal Mile

We stayed in a stunning, spotless apartment on Queen's Street for a week and couldn’t have been happier. The location was perfect—right in the heart of the New Town, just steps away from grocery stores, shops, and an amazing variety of restaurants. Each of us had our own private bedroom, so we had plenty of space to unwind in the evenings without feeling cramped. After a full week of exploring Edinburgh’s historic streets and walking everywhere, our group unanimously agreed that staying on the New Town side was the best decision. It made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and offered a real home-away-from-home vibe. We’d definitely book again if we return to the area—highly recommend this stay!

This place is absolutely perfect in every way! The hosts are incredibly warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. The rooms are thoughtfully decorated—old-world charm blended seamlessly with modern touches, creating a truly unique atmosphere. I especially loved the breakfast area: fresh, delicious meals prepared on-site, served in a cozy, inviting space. The bathroom was spotless, brand new, and impeccably clean—every detail shows care and attention. While it’s not right in the city center, that’s actually a plus: quiet, peaceful, yet just a 1-minute walk to the bus stop. You’re only a few stops away from everything you need, and the convenience of public transport makes it easy to explore Edinburgh without hassle. It’s ideal for solo travelers like me—safe, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a charming, well-kept gem off the beaten path.

94DR

We booked 94DR for a family reunion in early April and it was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everything felt thoughtfully planned and incredibly welcoming. We had the entire property to ourselves, which made the gathering so much more special—spacious, beautifully designed, and full of character. The living areas were cozy yet expansive, perfect for relaxing or hosting our big celebration. Paul, the host, went above and beyond in every way. He helped us plan every detail—from arranging a delicious Scottish dinner he personally cooked (which tasted like something from a Michelin-starred restaurant) to organizing a traditional bagpipe player and drummer for our event. He even recommended an amazing photographer, Marta Rocci, who captured our family moments perfectly. The fridge was stocked with drinks and snacks, extra towels were ready, and fresh flowers added a lovely touch. The garden is spacious, private, and inviting—ideal for morning coffee or evening chats under the stars. Paul knows Edinburgh inside out and shared fantastic tips on where to eat, what to see, and how to make the most of our trip. Whether you're visiting for a family reunion, a getaway, or just to experience authentic Scottish charm, 94DR is the perfect base. But honestly, the real highlight was Paul himself—a true professional who makes every guest feel like family. If you're looking for a memorable stay with personal care and attention to detail, this place is a must-book. I can’t recommend it enough.

The host was friendly and responsive, making check-in and check-out smooth. This place truly exceeded our expectations—comfortable, stylish, and peaceful all at once.

Kingsway Guest House

Staying at Kingsway Guest House was an absolute highlight of our trip to Edinburgh. Highly recommended by Rick Steve, and it truly lives up to the hype. The guesthouse is immaculately maintained, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step in. Our room was incredibly quiet—perfect for a good night's sleep—thanks to its peaceful location in a residential neighborhood, far from the bustling crowds on the Royal Mile. The bed was comfortable, and the space felt clean and thoughtfully designed. We took buses everywhere, and the stop was literally right outside the door—super convenient. Breakfast was a real treat: fresh, delicious, and varied. Don’t miss the daily special, which is handwritten each morning on a small blackboard near the entrance—it’s always a standout! The hosts go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. This isn’t just a place to sleep; it’s a home away from home. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

InterContinental Edinburgh The George

Honestly, just one word: amazing! From the moment I walked in, everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was outstanding—plenty of variety and delicious quality, with staff who were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I stayed in room 44, a unique loft-style layout that felt quirky and cool—definitely not your average hotel room. Despite being split-level, it was incredibly quiet, making for a peaceful night’s sleep. I loved the bathroom amenities—they used my favorite brand, Baudruche, and the scent alone made me feel pampered. Granted, the room size isn’t huge compared to some mainland hotels, but considering I was staying in a beautifully preserved historic building right in the heart of Edinburgh, it felt like a real privilege. The location is fantastic—walkable to major sights and super convenient for public transit. Everything about this stay screamed quality and charm. If I ever come back to Edinburgh, this will be my first choice again. A truly unforgettable experience.

The Caledonian Edinburgh, Curio Collection by Hilton

Staying at The Caledonian Edinburgh was an absolute highlight of our trip. Located right at the intersection of Princes Street and Lothian Street, it sits perfectly between Old Town and New Town—just a short walk from the iconic Edinburgh Castle, with views of the fortress from the front door. The hotel itself is a historic building with rich heritage, once visited by legends like Arthur Conan Doyle, which made it extra special for us as devoted Sherlock Holmes fans. The breakfast was a classic English spread, but what stood out most was the waffle served with honey straight from a whole, fresh honeycomb—such a unique and memorable touch. There’s also a beautiful garden restaurant in the atrium, though we were pressed for time and didn’t get to experience it. Still, the atmosphere alone adds so much charm. From the location to the details, every element felt thoughtfully curated. A truly exceptional stay that exceeded expectations.

Prestonfield House

Staying at Prestonfield House felt like stepping into a classic British country estate—seriously elegant and full of charm. The property is nestled in a private grounds, giving it a peaceful, secluded vibe that’s perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway. While the location is a bit off the beaten path, it's easily accessible by train or car, and the surrounding countryside adds to the overall experience. The architecture and interiors are incredibly photogenic—every corner looks like a scene from a period drama. The only minor downside is some noticeable sound transfer between floors, so quiet moments might be interrupted occasionally. But honestly, the ambiance, privacy, and unique character more than make up for it. A truly memorable stay with high value for money.

The Balmoral Hotel

Staying at The Balmoral Hotel was an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the location was perfect—just a five-minute walk to Calton Hill, and everything else in the Old Town, Rainbow Street, and Royal Mile was within easy reach. The hotel itself feels like a living piece of history, with elegant architecture and timeless charm. I couldn’t help but stop by room 552—the door painted a striking purple, which added such a unique touch. It’s said that J.K. Rowling found inspiration here while writing the final book in the Harry Potter series, and it’s easy to imagine why. The views from the windows are breathtaking, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. If you’re looking for a blend of luxury, history, and convenience in Edinburgh, this is the place to be. Highly recommended.
