Have just stayed in the Howard for 2 nights, in the top suite, which was amazing!!! Rooms were comfortable, large, with lovely furniture, massive 4 poster bed, large TV, massive bathroom and lots of other little bits and peices. The butler service was fantastic, very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Breakfast was very nice and tea and coffee on... More

My husband and I went to the Howard for one night on our anniversary and whilst it was not as I expected, it was a very pleasant stay. It is quite a small hotel (mor like a terraced house), but the bedrooms are definitely worthy! As well as a sleeping area there is a lounge area with a very large... More

Stayed on a winter deal, 2 night break. (Having an anniversary in January has its advantages!). Handed over car keys and were shown to lounge for coffee and shortbread - good start! Were upgraded to Abercromby Suite which is a beautiful, spacious room. Had excellent breakfast in the room at no extra charge. Ordered a bouquet of flowers for my... More

I'll keep it short and sweet with the only info you need to know if you're looking for a fantastic accommodation experience in Edinburgh-this is a great hotel, service, food, breakfast, bed, rooms, location! Stay here, you won't regret it, your'll remember it forever. Worth every penny. More

Have just returned from a 3 day stay in Edinburgh for business and The Howard was definitely one of the best hotels I have stayed in. It has a very personal feel to it very much a home from home and the complimentary Butler Service is a winning idea,nothing was too much trouble. As well as trays of afternoon tea... More

While the hotel itself was lovely (as were the staff) I was very disappointed with my stay here. Our room was cramped and old fashioned. The location was not ideal either. It is clear the quality of the hotel itself is impeccable but the staff were not accommodating about early arrivals and I think their website over-hyped my expectations. Not... More

Great staff, great service and wonderful location. Butler service awesome. Decor a bit tired and tables and furniture etc in the rooms badly marked. Stayed in Abercromby suite which was really big. Would go back but get room at back as front on busy road and pretty noisy. All in all pretty good hotel. More

Just returned from a 8 day New Year Birthday break at the Howard. Travelled with 2 young children. We loved the room and the facilities and made to feel very special. Exceptional friendly & efficient service by the team who couldnt do enough for us. Everything was so easy for us as a family, We would return for Andrew's service... More
