I arrived at the Rosehall Hotel unexpectedly one Saturday morning, right after I had experienced a truly unprofessional and tacky altercation with one of the owners of the Gil-Dun Guest House, where I had initially booked a room. Obviously, I was rather upset when I walked into the reception of the Rosehall Hotel, but Teresa, one of the owners of the Rosehall, was absolutely gracious and helpful to me, and she rearranged her bookings so that she could offer me an immediate room. This type of personal and friendly service lasted my entire stay at the Rosehall.

The location of the hotel is right next to Holyrood Park, so if you're looking for some scenary and outdoor walking, it's literally two blocks away. To get to downtown Edinburgh, you can either walk (about ten to fifteen minutes), or you can take a bus that will come along the streeet in front of the hotel.

As for the hotel itself, it's in an old Georgian building with many period features that make it simply beautiful: high, high ceilings with significant hand-carved ornamentation running along the walls and ceilings. The rooms themselves are tasteful and cheery; however, if you have a problem going up stairs, you might want to book elsewhere, as - like many older buildings - the staircases are significant, and there's no lift. But if you can handle stairs and are looking for a quality and beautiful budget hotel in Edinburgh, the Hosehall Hotel is a great choice. The rooms are great, and the owners are very chatty, gracious people.

Just returned to this hotel for 2nd time this year. Very friendly proprietor and most welcoming. The breakfast is A1 and served with a smile. Location - easy to travel via bus service to city centre and further if need be. parking is difficult but free if you are prepared to walk a bit. The rooms are immaculate with everything provided. Will certainly return in the future.

Rosehall is not exactly centrally located in Edinburgh, yet it is not too far from the cityc entre either.
My room was large and clean. The hotel offers a great Scottish breakfast with generous portions and offers above average service. The proprietors live on the premise and are a fun chat.
The hotel offers a small pub and a Georgian atmosphere.
Parking might be problematic however should you be driving.
