The location is perfect: quiet and peaceful just outside the city center, yet only a short walk from buses and all major attractions. Free parking nearby is a huge plus. The rooms are absolutely enchanting—each one feels like stepping into a beautifully preserved Victorian-era home, with elegant details and cozy charm.

Susan and Paul go above and beyond to make every guest feel special. Their passion for hospitality is genuine and tangible. Whether it’s a small request or a personal need, they anticipate it before you even ask. This isn’t just a hotel—it’s a family experience.

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 house itself is beautifully designed with a lovely blend of modern comfort and traditional charm. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated—from the cozy living area to the well-equipped kitchen. Location-wise, it’s ideal: quiet yet close to everything we wanted to explore in Edinburgh. We walked to the city center in just 15 minutes and found public transport super convenient. 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. I’d highly recommend it to any family or group looking for a memorable getaway in Edinburgh.

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.

City Retreat Edinburgh ApartHotels

Our stay at City Retreat Edinburgh ApartHotels was truly disappointing. The only redeeming feature was the shower, but everything else fell short. The room had a strong musty smell, and it felt visibly unclean—dust on surfaces, grime on the floor, and even the bedding seemed worn. It's located in a basement unit with steep, narrow stairs that felt eerie at night, especially since the outdoor light wasn’t working. Despite notices about noise and respecting guests above, we were repeatedly woken up by loud noises from the floor above. The wallpaper was peeling off in several spots—something I’ve photographed for proof. Overall, this place failed to meet basic standards of cleanliness and comfort. The housekeeping team needs urgent improvement, and the building clearly needs renovation. This experience ruined our trip to Edinburgh. If you're looking for a decent stay, avoid this property.

Staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh City Centre was an absolute delight. The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the city, just steps away from major attractions and public transport hubs. I found it incredibly convenient to explore Edinburgh on foot or by train. The staff were warm, professional, and always ready to help. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, well-prepared, and varied, with both classic English options and international choices. Everything was delicious and served with a smile. From the comfortable rooms to the thoughtful touches, this stay exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Edinburgh.

Leonardo Edinburgh Haymarket

Staying at the Leonardo Edinburgh Haymarket was a fantastic experience overall. The room was larger than expected, featuring a comfortable sofa that made it feel more like a home away from home. Cleanliness was excellent—everything looked fresh and well-maintained. The in-room amenities were thoughtful: a capsule coffee machine and a fridge made mornings easy and convenient, especially for that quick caffeine fix. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the train station and within easy reach of major attractions. There are plenty of restaurants and cozy bars nearby, so dinner and drinks are never an issue. The only downside is the cabinet above the tea station—it has a sharp corner that could easily cause injury if you’re not careful. It’s definitely a safety concern, especially when moving around with luggage or in low light. A simple fix like adding a soft edge cover would go a long way. Otherwise, this hotel offers great value and a welcoming atmosphere.

The Roseate Edinburgh

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. Great value, great location, and an unforgettable stay overall.

Princes Street Suites

Staying at Princes Street Suites was an absolute delight from the moment I arrived. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from Edinburgh’s main attractions, including the Royal Mile and Arthur’s Seat, with easy access to public transit. What truly amazed me was the building’s unique design: stepping into the basement via the elevator revealed a striking view of towering structures outside the window, almost like being in a modern urban landscape. Inside, the room was immaculate, well-equipped, and comfortable, with a cozy bed and a spacious bathroom. Everything matched my expectations—and then some. The overall experience was exceptional, and I’m already planning my next visit. If you’re looking for a convenient, stylish, and thoughtfully designed stay in Edinburgh, this is the place to be.
