Comfortable beds in a quiet area. The air conditioning didn't seem to work very well on warmer days and was turned off whenever we came back from a day out, but overall it was a cozy room.

Chambre confortable, moderne et propre. Salle de bain très fonctionnelle. Quartier très calme à courte distance de marche des principales attractions. Personnel accueillant et avenant. Bon rapport qualité / prix. Ceci compense largement pour l’absence de certaines comodités comme une piscine ou un restaurant.

Excellent property. Staff is friendly and very polite. Location is great! The only negative observation is that the Hotel does not have a restaurant or access to a computer lab; other than that, great stay.

Best location for a great view

We had a great suprise when entering room 621 as it had 3 windows with amazing views overlooking St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral at one side and Edinburgh Castle on the other. The hotel seems very new and modern, and another plus would be it's proximity to the city centre. The room also had a kitchenette area that was well equiped and was spacios enough for a couple with 2 large check-in bag and 2 carry-ons. Overall, we would definitely return here on our future stays in Edinburgh.

It was a nice weekend stay with the hotel being very conveniently located within walkable distance to the Old Town and the main city centre and yet it was quiet and peaceful. Good dining options nearby. And the staff was very helpful and cordial.

We loved our stay at The Resident and would highly recommend it for anyone trying to go to Edinburgh and be close to everything but not have to wade through tourists when getting back for the evening. The location was perfect and the room itself was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and the air conditioning worked great which was a must-have during the hottest week of the year!
