Staying at The Roseate Edinburgh was a truly memorable experience. While it didn’t stand out dramatically over our previous night’s accommodation, the unique charm of being housed within a historic castle made all the difference. The atmosphere is quiet and serene—perfect for unwinding after a busy day exploring the city. Rooms were clean, well-appointed, and surprisingly peaceful, with excellent sound insulation. The surrounding area is pleasant too—cozy cafés, local shops, and easy access to public transport make getting around hassle-free. It’s not just a place to sleep; it feels like stepping into a story.

Albyn Townhouse
I can't recommend this place enough. Nestled in the charming Bruntsfield area of Edinburgh, it's just a 20-minute walk through the peaceful Meadow to the city centre—perfect for a relaxed stroll. The property sits at the end of a beautiful row of classic Edinburgh terraced homes and comes with four to five dedicated parking spaces, which is a huge plus. Inside, the house is beautifully decorated in a stylish Anglo-French-Scottish blend that truly reflects the taste of the owner, Lydie—a French native who’s now a proud long-time resident of Scotland. My room was spacious, thoughtfully furnished with a comfortable, generously sized bed, a cozy sofa, and a small window-side table ideal for two. The ensuite bathroom was perfectly sized, and the shower delivered strong, consistently hot water—just what you need after a long day. The entire home was spotless, down to the smallest detail. From the warm hospitality to the impeccable cleanliness and unique character, I’d absolutely stay here again without hesitation.

Staying at the voco Edinburgh - Haymarket was a perfect balance between city convenience and peaceful retreat. The hotel is centrally located, just a short walk from major attractions and a quick subway ride away, yet the rooms are remarkably quiet—thanks to the windows that open slightly and the whisper-quiet air conditioning. Everything in the room felt clean and thoughtfully equipped: tea bags, biscuits, coffee, and even chocolate drinks were available. They even provided slippers in the bathroom, which was a nice touch. The view from the window was stunning, offering a beautiful glimpse of the city skyline. Breakfast was fantastic—plenty of options, including boiled eggs, and authentic Scottish specialties that truly stood out. Dinner was equally impressive, so much so that I decided to have a meal there right before heading to the airport. When I had any questions, the front desk staff responded promptly and with great care. Overall, this stay exceeded my expectations. If I ever return to Edinburgh, I’d absolutely book here again.

The villa is stunning, nestled in a quiet yet convenient spot with a bus stop right outside—perfect for getting around Edinburgh without needing a car. Corena, the host, was incredibly welcoming and attentive. But what truly made our stay exceptional was David, the manager. He’s genuinely one of a kind—always proactive, thoughtful, and ready to solve any little issue before it even arose. What stood out most? He’s half-Italian, half-Scottish and speaks fluent Italian, so chatting with him felt completely natural and personal. It was such a special touch that made us feel truly at home. From the cozy atmosphere to the warm hospitality, every detail was perfect. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s an experience. I’d come back in a heartbeat.

Absolutely thrilled with this stay! From the moment I walked into the room, I was blown away—the view of Edinburgh’s historic cityscape from the window looked like a painting. Sitting by the window with a cup of tea in the afternoon sun was pure bliss. The apartment is brand new, spotless, and incredibly well-maintained. The bathroom is spacious and modern, and the open kitchen comes fully equipped—perfect for whipping up a quick meal. This has easily been the best accommodation experience during my entire trip to the UK.
