For a 3 star hotel, this reservation far exceeded our expectations. My friends and I booked a family room. Our room was modern, clean, spacious and the toilet looked new & spotless. The beds were quite comfortable. We were given a complimentary goodie basket with chocolates and biscuits which I was quite taken up with. Since we arrived quite early we were allowed to store our bags in the compound securely. Hotel's located in central Edinburgh, 10 min walking distance from the Waverley station. Definitely recommend it!

Amila, United Kingdom

Everything. The staff were brilliang. Food was perfect for the cost and our room was great for a family. The added bonus of a hamper everyday made a huge difference. Thank you so much for our great stay.

Jade, United Kingdom

The location. True to word. Lovely breakfast for £5. Very neat. Well connected.

Albert, India

We stayed at this hotel as it was situated close to the start of the Edinburgh marathon, which we were taking part in. The hotel had made arrangements such as early breakfast on Marathon day , and the staff were very helpful and interested. The position is essentially 2 streets away from Princes Street, but was quiet. The rooms were large with high ceilings and windows , and beautifully clean. A bulging picnic basket greeted us, which was very welcome. There was also a fridge in the room which we appreciated. Good continental breakfast with a nice selection of food. All in all great value , very central -I will be staying here next time Im in Edinburgh!

Di, United Kingdom

Friendly staff and location. Good coffee and a lovely basket of treats in the room. Second time I've stayed here and always good.

Pieta, United Kingdom

Excellent location, 2 minutes to bus stops, 5 minutes to lots of restaurants and bars, 10 minutes walk to Princes Street and Waverley station. Well furnished and very quiet room, lovely hamper with snacks and drinks replenished every day. Friendly and helpful staff.

William, United Kingdom

What can I say? Good breakfast; close to Old Town & the Train Station; we did really like our apartments so much! (it was clean, big enough, well equipped with devices)

“Regular visitor”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Small Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The decorative cushions on my bed were stained on the underside (Room 111 for info).
눇I always try to get into the Cairn when I am in town for business. Great central location. Although my room was described as a 'small double' it was , infact , very spacious by Edinburgh Hotel standards which I loved. It has all the things I need as a solo travelling business woman, mirror for make-up, full - length mirror, hairdryer, plugs in the right place for hair straighteners, nice big bathroom with good light, iron and ironing board. Nice big comfy bed. The hamper of tasty things is super. Breakfast is good and I specially like the hotel cat (which always is outside on the window ledge of the breakfast room ..don't worry, it isn't allowed in!)

눉The wifi was the only bad thing during my stay. Even with full signal by the reception, it was slow.
눇Comfy place and excellent location. Only a few minutes walk from the station. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Calton Hill has one of the best views and only a few minutes walk away.

눇Quite expensive for the standard.

“Small but clean room, great staff”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉The initial room I was shown was a good size, but as a woman traveling alone I was concerned about security because the window opened onto a lower level not very visible from the street. Staff identified another room 1 level higher; I took that room because it appeared more secure, but it was very small, no place but the bed upon which to open my (carry-on size) suitcase. I ate the hotel breakfast because it saved me time, but wished the coffee and eggs were better. I would be willing to pay a bit more for higher quality food.
눇The staff was accommodating and helpful. There were plenty of outlets to plug in my devices. The wifi was reliable. The room was very clean.

“Convenient small hotel with some charm.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Two-Bedroom Apartment
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉We rented the two-bedroom apartment which required a three story climb. The kitchen and dining counter area had no windows, and there wasn't a living room area where we could sit down together so we had to visit in each other's bedrooms.
눇We appreciated the location, helpful staff, and good breakfast offerings. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable with windows that faced a nice quiet courtyard.

“Not up to my expectations”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The bed is quite small and the pillows were rock hard. When I asked for another one they told us they were all the same, while 1 of our 4 pillows was alright. Also, it was not that clean, I don't like questioning where a stain or hair came from. It was overpriced in my opinion.
눇They offer a decent 5 pound breakfast and the location is quite good.
