Pros: I am fortunate to live in Edinburgh city centre, in a first floor converted townhouse apartment so am used to the high ceilings and large rooms. My own flat was rented for the Edinburgh festival and coming back from europe I needed somewhere to stay for two days. I also used to live two streets away from the Chester Residence so I know what a nice, safe, leafy pleasant location it has. I stayed in the first floor 1-bed Deluxe apartment on Chester Street (they also have 3 connecting townhouses on Rothesay Place) and it was terrific - large rooms, high ceilings, large picture windows, and sympathetic contemporary decor. Its the best commercial apartment conversion I have stayed in in Edinburgh. Location wise it is quiet but within 5-10 minutes there are plenty of cafes and bars, and Princes Street and George Street are about 5 minutes walk away

Cons: I would really have appreciated two or four small complimentary bottles of water in the room, I think there was one small one in the fridge minibar. Would have liked to have seen a more thorough breakfast menu, perhaps the in room breakfast was a limited variation of what might be available in the main building. After a good weekend a hearty breakfast would be welcome not just a croissant and piece of ham and cheese

Cons: I stayed on a Sunday and Monday night - it was a bank holiday monday so schools/businesses were closed for the two days but I know from experience that at normal peak times Chester Street can take quite a lot of traffic; my suggestion if traffic noise bothers would be to try and book one of the first floor apartments on Rothesay Place as this street has minimal traffic and is quieter; the bedroom on chester street looks over leafy communal gardens and was very pleasant - except for a dog next door that was barking repeatedly on both days because the weather was hot and they were out in the garden - however I could have come back and stayed during a normal business week and never seen the dog and its not the fault of the hotel.

Overlooking one of Edinburgh’s prettiest private garden squares, Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel consists of seven interconnected Georgian townhouses. Outside is where you’ll find the New Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s delightfully removed from the city’s tourist hubs. But it’s inside where things really get interesting. The newly renovated interior blends handsome woods, plush fabrics, and rich pops of color—and, yes, just a touch of tartan—to luxurious effect. And with a magnetic inner courtyard and an acclaimed Middle Eastern restaurant, it’s no wonder the hotel has become a natural meeting point and a sociable heart of modern life.

At breakfast I was given the wrong order and the staff managed to lose one of my colleagues' orders entirely which meant we were left waiting.
7,9 Good
Pros: Lovely modern decor, great location close to all the main attractions. The room was very stylish and the beds were super comfortable. Front of house reception staff were very welcoming.
Cons: It all went wrong in the restaurant. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there and to be honest whilst the food was excellent the staff on all occasions were absolutely terrible and really did ruin the experience. The slowest service ever, most orders were wrong and you had to literally beg for attention as they walk past you. What ever happened to Scottish hospitality? Of all the hotels I have stayed in this was the worst example of service I have experienced in a long time. Completely disorganized, unhelpful and no sense of customer satisfaction, which is such a shame as the setting inside was lovely.

From the extensive continental breakfast spread each morning and 24-hour snack service, to the ever-cheery welcome at our on-site bar and restaurant, we work hard to make sure bellies are full and hearts are happy from sunup until well after sundown. And tucked away as we are in one of the prettiest districts of Edinburgh, your trip to this captivating Celtic charmer of a city is off to a braw start!

The InterContinental Edinburgh The George has been welcoming hotel guests since 1881. At its heart are five listed Georgian townhouses, built in 1775 as homes for Edinburgh’s most prosperous citizens. The hotel is an ideal base from which to explore the city or conduct business. The Printing Press Bar & Kitchen was once home to acclaimed novelist Susan Ferrier, whilst Burr & Co. is a lovely quirky coffee shop with a devoted local following. The hotel also boasts 8 meeting rooms and equipped gym.

Pros: The property was undergoing extensive renovations which was an inconvenience to guests however the staff remained professional attentive efficient and friendly despite the circumstances. The location of the hotel is excellent.
Cons: The room is very small and bathroom not convenient and has limited space to place belongings. The basin’s drain does not work well and caused overflowing of water. The renovations made it difficult to get to the 1st floor we needed to take stairs to one floor then walk around to take a lift back to level 1. Whilst we appreciate refurbishment is occuring after staying 5 nights this got tiresome and atbtebstart it was very confusing to work out. Breakfast buffet was limited and disorganized ( not the staff fault) The cleanliness was poor, rooms not cleaned well and utensils at the buffet breakfast were dirty. There were no serving utensils which meant that guests had to place pastries, fruit and bread with their hands! There was also a long wait time to be seated for breakfast. Breakfast comenced at 6:30am yet one morning guests could not be seated as set up had not occurred. This was disappointing as we had an early train to catch. Overall it did not feel like we stayed at the intercontinental at all.

Pros: The location.
Cons: Hotel facilities aren’t what you’d expect for this type of hotel. The restaurant and bar are really basic. The bar in particular has a street front and is more like a public pub. Much better along the street at the Kimpton on Charlotte Square where we preferred to be. Also problems with billing. On checking out they had added buffet breakfast to my room bill, which was incorrect. They took it off but I’ve arrived home to find two additional charges on my credit card on top of my final check out bill... I won’t be returning. There are so many other places in Edinburgh with nicer facilities and staff.

You can walk anywhere in the city centre from here and it’s exceptionally convenient for the transport links at Waverley Train Station, buses around the city and Old Town attractions. The high street shops of Princes Street and George Street are just a short walk away and you’ll be just a 10 minute walk from The King’s Theatre or The Festival Theatre.
The friendly smile that welcomes you at check-in will become a regular feature during your stay. There’s always someone on hand to help make your stay unique and memorable. From the local advice that’ll help you plan your day to a relaxing dinner or drinks served in Agua Restaurant & Bar, you’ll be well looked after from start to finish.

7,5 Good
Pros: The location was very convenient and the acdomodations were comfortable.
Cons: 1) The shower in the master suite was not properly sealed, so water went all over the bathroom floor. This was reported twice (two different days), and people went to the room to supposedly fix it. They looked at it but did not repair it. 2) I noticed the carpet was torn along the back of the bed.
8,3 Excellent
Pros: The room was spacious and the bathroom roomy with a large shower. Everything was clean and well prepared and we had room to open cases and spread out. Porridge for breakfast was tasty and the cooked 'detox breakfast' particularly good. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Cons: The breakfast room was particularly hot, so on the second morning we had a table near the front of the hotel which was better. Whilst the staff were good, some suffered from the modern day corporate speak which can come over as a little false. We could have done with some advice on the best flattest route from Waverley station to the hotel. Using a map doesn't account for all the hills with suitcases!

Pros: Central location. Modern vibe and immaculately clean.

No tartan. No stuffed deer heads. No prints of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Nira Caledonia, our boutique hotel in Edinburgh Scotland, blends Bohemian chic with contemporary comfort. Amid the plush pelmets, rich textures and original cornices you’ll find flat-screen televisions, Nespresso coffee machines and iPod docking stations. You’ll find warm, heartfelt service and a cool, quirky style. With a friendly touch – and a touch of theatre – we welcome independent-minded travellers who prefer to go their own way. Come our way.

Pros: Staff were excellent from information over the phone before even booking and also after our stay ended.The standard of generosity in making you feel welcome and attention given to ensure your comfort was immaculate could not rate any higher. Would like to thank all from myself my wife and our two children.
Cons:
8,3 Excellent
Pros: Good choice of English or Continental breakfast. Eggs to order from staff. Quality of food at breakfast was very good.
Cons: We had to check out a day early as my wife had an accident the day before & we had to travel back home to attend A&E in Cheshire. Although we left around 13.15 (after the normal check-out time) we were still charged the full rate, even though the Hotel could have possible let the room again, with Edinburgh being very busy due to the Fringe Festival. Disappointing as the room rate including breakfast was £250 per night.

Cons: All the furnishings are old and worn out, including the mattress. The towels are old and thin. The easy chairs in our room were disgusting (see photo). The sofa in the reception area is old and torn. The room curtains have holes in them (see photo). The halls are narrow and drab, and the old wooden floors squeak when you walk on them. Maids are forced to pile linens and supplies on the hall floor (see photo). Only one small elevator for six floors. Single pane glass windows do not block the street noise. Breakfast room tables are worn out and no attempt was made to cover them with a table cloth or place mats. A total rip off at 200 euros per night.

5,4 Okay
Pros: Location is perfect. Hotel has a long history in Edinburgh.
Cons: This hotel is part of Edinburgh history. Being Scottish I was very disappointed to find it in such a run down state. Furniture is stained and dirty. White paint used on all woodwork is inappropriate for a historic building and it is chipped and in need of repair everywhere. Menu is limited , an offering of only four choices at dinner and repeated daily. Very boring Breakfast choices not bad but again the same daily. NO FRUIT except for apples , bananas and CANNED ORANGES. Disgraceful! Where are the berries so available in Scotland? Allowing for the age of the building, the floor boards need attention and something needs to be done about the lift. Perhaps you expect Giants as guests . Bath tub dangerous for elderly guests.. Far too deep an inaccessible. Walk in showers should be installed. Whose got time for a bath on holiday?! Hand basins far too high for comfort .

Cons: Poor attention to detail by house keeping *mattress sheet did not fit mattress *dirty bed linen was left outside our room at check in *no soap in bedroom when we arrived *no replenishment of coffee supplies the next morning Shower leaked over bathroom floor, hotel maintenance solution, was in the short term to provide more towels to mop the floor. On going design issue. All issues raised with reception, the bed linen response was met with a surprising quote “ah that’s another question! would you like another sheet” no I would like one that fits the bed! Over priced for what is a standard level of service at other hotels.

Cons: The bed was so uncomfortable, the mattress was hard and the pillows had seen better days, probably a long time ago. The room first appeared clean but on further inspection it was just surfaced cleaned. On the second day we were not supplied with clean towels and had to use dirty ones. Our shower had broke and we had to wait for maintenance to fix it which delayed our day. The breakfast was expensive for cheap produce, the sausages were the cheap nasty ones.

Pros: Stayed 2 nights at the Haymarket hotel, it is about 25 min walk from the centre of Edinburgh, I didnt mind the walk or train ride for a lower price. Room was small, but clean bath and comfy bed was enough for me. I didnt get the breakfast at the hotel so cant make a comment on that but overall for the price this hotel is worth it for a bit more quite location away from the louder center.

6,3 Good
Pros: The bed was great, a lovely size and nice and firm.
Cons: The water pressure from the taps and showers was appalling, the was damp on the wall behind the toilet, the toilet flush was loose, the tile grout was broken / missing / stained and dirty. There was no kettle until requested, and as a disabled person being put on the top (7th) floor in the room furthest from the exits was a surprise.
7,5 Good
Pros: Its location was perfect for easy access to the city centre.
Cons: The hotel was quite impersonal; not the staff. Access to parking should have been better communicated in advance

4,6 Okay
Pros:
Cons: I was in a noisy room, backing on to the fire door separating the lifts/stairs and the corridor along the first floor - every time any other guest came in and out of that door the slamming door sound came through in to the room - so basically not possible to sleep until 1am. The room also was at the rear of the hotel, and I assume, above extractor fans and it smelt of food all night.
