Spacious rooms in a convenient location close to the Edinburgh Old Town. The staff members here go out of their way to be helpful. The one problem is a wireless setup that seems like it was designed to be difficult. Each device requires its own complicated code (good luck if you have, e.g., a laptop and iPad and hope to... More

The Rutland hotel is in a great location and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are nice but the public spaces, especially the carpets/stairs are starting to get worn. General cleaning is good, there could be a little more attention to corners, walls, ceilings. Parking was a bit of a fire drill if you don't want to... More

The staff at the Rutland could not have been friendlier. We are 2 families with a total party of 10 traveling. The restaurant recommendations were perfect and breakfast at the hotel perfect. The "boy's" apartment accommodations a hit Location good. Definitely would stay again

Edinburgh is an incredibly expensive city for hotels and when Premier Inns are quoting over £120 per night for inconveniently located “budget” options (£174 on Princes St!) it makes sense to bite the bullet and pay a few pounds more for something a bit special. Brilliantly located at the western end of Princes St The Rutland has just twelve rooms.... More

My wife and I spent 3 fabulous nights, celebrating our wedding anniversary, at The Rutland Hotel, at the end of May and we couldn't have wished for a better place to stay. We stayed in room 4 which is extremely spacious and has three large windows offering views down Princes Street, in one direction, and down Hope Street, towards Charlotte... More

The Rutland Hotel is a clean, comfortable hotel on the west end of Princess St. It is a leisurely 15 minute walk from Waverly Station or the pubs at the east end of Rush Street. It is also just a few minutes from the West End bus stop where you can pick up the double decker tour busses or the... More

My wife and I stayed at the Rutland for 3 nights for our honeymoon. Wow!!! We originally were booked in room 1, which is also the disabled room. It was massive and we were very impressed with the surround sound speakers in the roof. We wanted a bath though, so on day 2 asked the amazing reception staff if it... More

We spent one night at the Rutland in a standard room on a recent overnight to Edinburgh. (140 pounds). The front desk staff was the friendliest I have ever encountered. Asked about our needs (wake-up call? paper?) and gave great directions. The hotel is small but our room was large as was the bathroom. Even though we faced the street... More

My husband and I and our 2 young boys were tired and hungry after a long drive to Edinburgh. We had circled the area for an hour looking for our hotel before confirming that it was closed.
