    I love everything about this hotel! The location is in new Edinburgh and easily accessible to everything. The staff is so friendly. Upon checking in, the rooms have welcome chocolates and music playing. Loads of restaurants nearby. Beautiful updated and modern furnishings

    Amazing room, a view, every little detail in the room. Sparkling clean. The breakfast in the cafe connected to the hotel (The Huxley), a lot of options, all taste perfect, and the staff is very friendly. We also went to their bar a bit further the road - nice and quiet, 20% off on food for the guests. All in all - we loved our stay!

    The room wasn’t ready when we arrived, 50 minutes after the check in time. Jilly (very helpful and friendly receptionist) apologised and offered us two complimentary drinks from the in-house bar (The Huxley) whilst the room was being cleaned, we enjoyed our drinks and waited another 30+ minutes. Disappointing that the room wasn’t ready when we arrived and we still had the normal check out time.

    The apartment was spacious and luxurious. All rooms were large with all the amenities required.

    In retrospect, the door at the end of the corridor connecting the stairs closed with an alarming ‘bang’ sound each time someone went through it. Maybe the door closer needs some adjustment in terms of the swing/latch speed. This did not create a problem for us since we were always exhausted in the day from sightseeing and fell asleep deeply at night, otherwise it would have been disturbing. Also the bathtub was a bit slippery and we had to take extra caution when standing up and getting out.

    The location is perfect, and the staff were most welcoming and helpful during our stay. The room is spacious with a good view of the street, and the bathroom was satisfactory. Besides, we enjoyed the hotel restaurants and the bar which offered us generous guest discounts.

    The night receptionist on a couple of occasions couldn’t answer basic questions about what time the in-house bar closes etc. Minor complaint.

    Excellent apartment in a great location. Very well fitted out with high quality fixtures and all mod cons we needed.

    It is on a noisy street (Princes Street), but with ear plugs, it was no problem at all!

    The staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, well-appointed, and comfortable. We enjoyed the tea/coffee in the room, and tea cakes! It was very easy to access the tram to the airport, and right near everything. Would definitely stay again!

    Be careful when unloading at the apartment- we were ticketed because we took too long- 5 min to unpack and then head to the handy parking area only a short distance away.

    The restaurant right next door is superb!

    Stairs steep and difficult at times to climb. Windows very difficult to open.

    Staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, celebrating my daughters 18th we got a very unexpected upgrade to a beautiful apartment. Uniquely designed, comfortable, modern interior. Stunning accommodation with the only downside being a lack of lift for heavy luggage. If you will struggle with stairs when booking an apartment let the Rutland know so you book ground floor. Otherwise can not fault a truly memorable stay. Thank you !!
