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.

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 to do. This place is amazing, I would return in a heartbeat. The breakfast is served in your room and is beautifully cooked, my husband ordered everything on the breakfast menu and we could not fault it. Well done Edinburgh Residence! They also looked after our bags on the morning of arrival before check in, locked away in a cupboard.

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 ). I'm not quite sure how to describe the residence, it's like going to your wealthy great aunt's house i guess. What I mean about that is, it dosen't feel like a hotel. The suite was beautiful and very spacious with tea and coffee making facilities and a microwave. You can either have breakfast in your suite or have it in the restaurant, we picked the latter. Location is great, 5-10 minute walk and you are on Princess Street. We really enjoyed our stay, if you are looking for somewhere with ambience and atmosphere then this is not for you. If you are looking for a quiet, luxury stay then stay at the Residence.

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 shared the sitting room complete with two drop down beds cleverly stored in a special bookcase, with an enormous ensuite bathroom. Our bedroom was also very grand indeed also with an ensuite. The staff could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Edinburgh itself is a wonderful city a real joy to explore, and of course the position of the Residence close to Princes Street was a real plus.
