Great location, very close to Princes Street and to numerous buses (including a bus from/to the airport and hop on-hop off busses), restaurants, shops. You could also walk almost everywhere. The room was very spacious and clean and the bathroom as well! The shower was really spacious and hot water would come out almost immediately and loved it! The bed and pillows very comfortable! There was a complementary bottle of water and shortbreads each day. There was a coffee machine in the room and nespresso capsules, so you could make your own coffee at any time (tea was also available). The staff was polite.

Beautiful. Great breakfast, complementary coffee, great honesty bar. So helpful staff. Rooms well equipped. A little small if traveling with heavy suitcases. We had a big bathroom made for disable person. Floor a little slippery.

The staff were exceptional in every way. Jackie and her team consistently went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. The food was top quality and gorgeous. The room more than met our expectations, it was really large and airy, and no roadside or bar noise could be heard at all in the bedrooms. The bathroom had both an extra large shower and a beautiful free-standing bathtub. I cannot recommend The Reaburn highly enough and will definitely return and will recommend it to anyone I know going to Edinburgh

Albyn Townhouse

Bruntsfield, Edinburgh

We couldn’t have imagined a more charming stay. You feel and see the love that Lydie put into the house from the moment you step foot into the door. The room was spacious and cozy, the bed very comfortable. Also, the location of the house is great since it‘s walking distance to the center of town, surrounded by many cafés and shops but hidden away in a residential area. All in all: The perfect place to relax and get a good night’s sleep after a busy day in town.

Prestonfield House is a stunning hotel placed in a beautiful garden. The main structure presents the traditional baronial architecture and the rooms inside are just faboluous. The kindeness of the staff at the reception was exceptional, and so was our room, with a view on the gardens. Unfortunately we spent there only one night, but we already plan to be back and stay longer.

    The interior designer/decorator of this gorgeous hotel is brilliant. The lush textures, the thoughtful touches, rich colors and color palettes, the coziness, quiet luxury and beauty of each room and area was just perfection. You wanted to just melt into a velvet chair or take tea next to the huge windows overlooking the city or read a book on a plush sofa in some cozy corner. Beautiful.
