"This was a beautiful apartment to stay in, with the perfect mix of historic charm and fresh, modern finishes. We did have a mix-up with our booking, as the room was reserved for three people but didn’t have a sleeping option for the third guest. However, reception responded quickly and made things right, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a lovely stay and I would definitely stay here again."

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"I managed to get an early check in which was helpful, basic hotel but clean and staff were fantastic"

The Sun Inn

8/10 Good

"Plenty of pluses. Abundant free parking. Good check in. Friendly staff. Room good (could do with a chair). Bar and restaurant welcoming. Didn’t confirm online dinner reservation request, but dinner ok, limited menu, but reasonably priced. 10% service charge annoyed me. Service was very good, but it should be at consumer discretion. Coffee cafetière, and fresh milk, in room most welcome, as was ‘proper’ glass (not plastic cup). Breakfast not included at £90 disappointing."

"Our stay at Dalhousie was wonderful! We really enjoyed the property, our room was cozy and comfortable. Breakfast, lunch and dinner options were wonderful. One of our favorite stays on our 10 day trip around Scotland."
