Wonderful Old Town Hotel

Wonderful hotel directly across from St Giles Cathedral in the heart of Old Town on the Royal Mile. Excellent condition and bountiful amenities (mini washer/dryer, Nespresso, robes, etc.). We arrived a bit early for our three night stay. They upgraded our room to a larger, two-room suite and allowed an early check in. We appreciated the cleanliness and service. (The pictures don't do it justice!) Great way to begin our time in Scotland.

Everything was perfect and an incredible location. Staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. Only issue in our place was the washer dryer combo was useless. Wasted a lot of time with that process. This is no reflection of the overall company.

My family and I stayed here for four nights and the location can’t be beat! We had a two bedroom unit, which was spacious and clean. Bathrooms were well lit and clean. Beds were soft and comfy. Having a washer/dryer was very convenient. Our unit was next to an alley so occasionally there was noise from people passing through. Be aware that the hotel consists of two separate buildings. If you are in the back building (which we were) you will need to carry your suitcases up and down a short flight of stairs.

This is a beautiful hotel full of character. It is right on the Royal Mile, close to the castle & so many pubs & restaurants. Because this is an older building that’s been refurbished, and the part of the building our apartment was in, it was quite a walk with many stairs (there is one lift) & you could easily get lost. BUT, if you have your wits about you & good muscles to help you up & down the stairs, you’ll be fine. The apartment was beautiful, clean with all the amenities you’d hope for. I would definitely stay here again.

This property was just extra special, planning to come back to Scotland in 2027 and this will be where we book. The property is a little confusing but that is part of the charm. Everyone that we encountered was beyond friendly and helpful and just wonderful. We stayed in the room that has the little bed nook along with the king bedroom and was PERFECT for our family. The room was so spacious and the beds were beyond comfortable! The kitchenette was so nice although we only used for coffee. Lastly the restaurant was incredible and the food and coffees were perfect. We even went back on our last day for lunch even though we had already checked out because it was good.
