We really enjoyed our stay at the Roxburghe. The location of this hotel in the New Town is very convenient for walking to Princes Street, Princes Park and the Royal Mile, as well as for exploring the New Town. It's also close to Rose Street which has some amazing pubs. Everyone on the staff was very friendly. We were shown... more

The Roxburghe is a solid, slightly old-fashioned hotel in a delightful location on Charlotte Square in the New Town. Room well furnished with quality fittings. Breakfast was first-class, with the cooked breakfast ordered via a waiter rather than collected from a buffet table. Expensive, though, at £17.50 and there isn't an option to have a 'continental' breakfast at a lower... more

Wow is all I can say. I'd read the reviews on here a week before I'd left and must say, i was a little nervous! We phoned the Reservations department and the Manager put our mind at ease, saying that over 800 pass through the hotel per week and that one bad experience gets a review on here, but 799... more

We paid £175 for 2 of us for a 3 night stay, fantastic value. The location was perfect in the heart of Edinburgh, just off a side street. We had a cooked breakfast everyday, Sat & Sun it was a buffet style, Monday morning your order was taken for cooked breakfast but you could help yourself to everything else The... more

I stayed in The Roxburghe Hotel for 4 days as part of a work course being held in the hotel. The Hotel is in a good location being close to Princes Street and some rooms have a view of Edinburgh Castle. The hotel boasts a 4 star category however my view is that it is more realistically a 3 star... more

I stayed in the Roxburghe with my husband for 3 nights. It was our first time to Edinburgh and we were not disappointed with the city or the hotel. The hotel was great, the location is very central, just a few steps down the square and you are on Princess St the main street in Edinburgh. We were able to... more

Stayed here for a conference On the web looks interesting and original, stayed in the main annex (which is almost the whole hotel, pleasant large rooms with good bath room - JUST BORING!! Conference breakfast in downstairs room, no windows, loud piped musice and cold congealed boring breakfast totally uninspiring and if we had been paying £17.50 which is the... more

I stayed here before with work and have just been with my girlfriend for a weekend break. We drove up and used the Hotel car park located underneath - make sure you get directions as it can be hard to find ! Really good new bedroom - hotel is being refurbished and the rooms are very good, huge bed, nice... more

We walked to this hotel from Waverley Train Station but got a taxi back. It's not miles away but still a bit of a walk with your luggage. The hotel is very central, very close to Princes St and just around the corner from Rose St (one way) and George St with it's lovely cocktail bars (the other way). The... more

We stayed here for four nights during the easter holidays. The hotel is currently undergoing a million pound refurbishment and we were fortunate to stay in a newly refurbished standard twin room (you could still smell the new carpets!) The room was tastefully decorated, warm and airy, with a huge flat screen TV and big bathroom. The only drawback is... more
