Booked a one night stay for 3 of us just for a quick trip to Edinburgh. And the experience from booking through to us leaving the Knight Residence was nothing short of faultless. I emailed to ask about leaving luggage as we were arriving early in the morning and a lovely reply informed me they would do their best to... More

i booked this accomodation on the internet and looked at trip advisor's reviews when making my final choice. I wasn't dissappointed, on arrival we were up- graded to a 2 bedroom appartment which was gorgeous all warm and welcoming. The staff were helpful, friendly and made the extra effort which makes all the difference. The kitchen is well equipt to... More

From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectation. Great location, walking distance to the centre, passing the castle along the way. Also very short walk to Sainsbury's (which opens till 11pm). Took two attempts to find the carpark, but we found it at the rear, just awkward one-way streets. Charlie the concierge met us, and he was absolutley brillient,... More

I cant speak highly enough of this wonderful accommodation. Our family of 5 adults travelled for 6 weeks through Europe and this was the best. It was ahome away from home. The kitchen facility was fabulous. There was a huge welcome basket with shortbread, teas, coffee, chocolates, cereals, marmalades, milk, bread and juice. The washing machine wouldnt dry as it...

From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectation. Great location, walking distance to the centre, passing the castle along the way. Also walking distance to Sainsbury's (which opens till late), quaint bookshops and a lot of restaurants. We were ushered to our apartment upon arrival and shown on how everything operated. It was spacious and very well equipped. More... More

The one bed Superior Apartment was spacious - good sized bed, lovely couch in the living area with a good size telly, kitchen was fabulous and supplied with a few snacks... More

From the moment I arrived and the concierge greeted me in the carpark I felt at home. Excellent service. Apartments are a tiny bit dated, certainly the style is more 1990s than 2010s, however everything is clean, tidy and works. The location is superb, avoiding the silly lap dancing bars at the end of the road (how did they ever... More

Dear Frances-Jane, First may I thank you for your continued loyalty to The Knight Residence, it is a true compliment that you would not consider staying anywhere else. I am sorry you feel our parking charges penalise the motorist and would like to explain our reasoning in introducing charges. There are costs associated with owning, lighting, securing and maintaining a... More
