Recently stayed here with my husband. We were given room 30 which has a castle view. Room was lovely, massive bedroom area that you could close the Curtains so if someone was wanting to sleep & the other person wanted to watch tv the light wouldn't annoy them! Lovely living area with couches & dining area. Lovely big bathroom with... More

We just love The Edinburgh Residence and go every year, so of course looking forward very much to our annual stay there again in 2012. The Residence is delightful, in that it is in one of the best locations in Edinburgh, and the ambience, the staff, the facilities, the food and the general running of this place and fantastic rooms...

We were upgraded to the top suite overlooking the countryside. The men at the front desk were so helpful. This place was great. We were walking distance to the center of the city but out of the hustle bustle of city life. There were very nice restaurants a very short distance away. At the end of a busy touring day... More

We stayed here for our anniversary break and would definitely stay again. From the greeting on arrival, onwards, we received excellent service from all the staff we encountered. The room was fantastic, with great views and comfort, lovely big bathroom and cosy furnishings. We had a fabulous afternoon tea and we enjoyed our evening meal in the cosy wee restaurant. More

We stayed here Oct 2010. I can not fault this place, the beds were amazing, the bedroom furniture grand, the afternoon tea served in the room was perfect. Lovely touches like if you have the 'turn down' service at night they leave a little note telling you what the weather will be the next day and a suggestion of what... More

When we arrived at our original hotel we were told that they had overbooked us. They then offered us a suite in the Edinburgh Residence which was only 100 yards along the street. Feeling a bit apprehensive we walked along to the town house. We were greeted by very friendly staff and shown swiftly to our suite (no 2 ).... More

We have recently spent a week in Edinburgh staying in Suite 5 at The Edinburgh Residence. I cannot speak highly enough of our accommodation, shades of times long gone, but now beautifully and tastefully restored. Our two eldest grandchildren joined us from their respective Universities for a weekend and they loved it, especially the breakfasts served in the room. They... More

We arrived at the Edinburgh Residence with great expectations only to realize that we were allocated to room 7. This room is under the street level and very dark even on a bright day. When one sits on the sofa and looks out of the window what one only sees is a wet and algae covered wall. Some slippery staircases... More
