“Classy”

The Edinburgh Residence

5 of 5 stars
Dublin, Irelan
12 Aug 2007

We stayed here due to a mix up in our original accommodation but it was a real nice "accident". Everything was first class - rooms were clean and comfortable, TV channel selection was great (hundreds of channels) as well as a DVD library and stereo, which is handy if you have an extended stay, great food for breakfast, and a few minute walk to New Town and Princes Street. Just a very pleasant experience.

“Loved - The Edinburgh Residence.”

Everyone & everything at The Edinburgh Residence was very nice. The location of this hotel is very convienient to get around.
We especially liked the 24 hour Room Service Menu & the complimentary internet service available in the Reception Room.
It made things very comfortable for us at the end of each day.
We felt as if we were staying in an affluent Georgian home.
Thank you.

“Oh WOW. Want to feel like royalty? Stay here.”

Spent a week here three years ago. The hotel is actually three glorious townhouses joined together and you truly feel as if you are in a private home. Our room was tremendous- with a large living area and charming breakfast table in a bay window overlooking the old rooftops of one of Edinburgh's oldest neighborhoods. The bed was sumptuous- we STILL talk about how comfy it was. The only little downside is that there is no restaurant, but breakfast service comes quickly enough from a restaurant associated with the hotel. The staff are friendly, but not familiar, so you feel as if you are in and out of your own "apartment." It is minutes from the castle- but in a sweet residential area away from the hustle and bustle. It's expensive, but worth every penny.

“Timeshare Heaven”

The Edinburgh Residence

Save Review
5 of 5 stars
Salem, Massachusetts
3 Jun 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

Our first trip (of many more, we hope) to Edinburgh began with the absolute joy of finding The Edinburgh Residence to be all it was "craic-ed" up to be. We were actually able to exchange our much-less-than 5 star Cape Cod timeshare unit for a week at The ER, so we were already ahead of the game before arriving. Stately and quiet Rothesay Terrace is a "crescent" street in Edinburgh's West End and, whilst we arrived mid-morning on a Friday before our room was available, the staff checked us right in and took charge of our weighty baggage allowing us to have breakfast and walk about. The hotel car park behind was quite welcome.
Currently, time constraints prevent more elaboration, but I hope the five stars indicate that (like most others) we found The ER exquisite and well worth a return stay- timeshare swap or not.

“Won't disappoint”

The Edinburgh Residence

The suites in this hotel are truly grand and comfortable with wonderful views over Edinburgh. The staff made our children feel very comfortable with little kits and menus designed especially for them. Would recommend this hotel for its charm, comfort and proximity to Edinburgh main high street attractions. Did I mention the luxurious bathrooms!
