Hotels in Edinburgh in general

CHANNINGS HOTEL, EDINBURGH; Arriving in Edinburgh, for full on rugby, our focus was on supporting New Zealand All Blacks, we had to beat Scotland in the 2007 Rugby World Cup. I’d booked the accommodation months in advance and told anyone who would listen that I was incredulous at the price we had to pay on match- night to stay in Edinburgh after the game. Channings Hotel changed our ‘’rugby’‘ weekend focus the minute we walked through the door. First impressions were of truly upmarket accommodation. The reception is tidily tucked to one side with the comfortable sofas as the main feature in this ever so important welcoming area to any ...  Read the complete review

Name: Aarajura Guest House Location: Gilmore Place, off Gorgie Road, Edinburgh Star rating: **** AA rating * MY REVIEW * What a fabulous birthday treat I had a couple of months ago. My boyfriend's mother, who I now LOVE, by the way, booked he and I into a guest house in Edinburgh for the weekend, during which we were also lucky enough to get an aromatherapy massage. This aforementioned guest house was the Aarajura, booked only on the basis that when generous Beth typed in the search engine for guest houses, the Aarajura popped up first, what with it being in alphabetical order. I'm certainly glad it did. With a 4 ...  Read the complete review

Edinburgh's premier hotel is looking tired. Once an exclusive destination, now tour busses line up outside disgorging weary tourists 'doing' Scotland. Rooms and fittings show resulting signs of wear from frequent turnover. The George in George Street has been my address in Edinburgh for some ten years. It is in the centre of town by St Andrews Square, convenient for my work, close to restaurants and shops and just off Princess Street. The staff show true Scot's hospitality, even though, as part of the Intercontinental group they are an international team. Reception and hall staff are welcoming and friendly. After your room is ...  Read the complete review

Finding accomodation in Edinburgh is a bit of a lottery - we decided to leave it until we arrived and chance it, we went to the tourist office and they suggested the Roxburgh, right in the shadow of the Castle. The cost was a little on the high side....£140 for the room (2+1 infant) but we were told that it had just been refurbished so decided to take it. It's set in a lovely part of Endinburgh, a very short walk from the centre, the people there were very friendly (a quality we found throughout Edinburgh!), there is a big glass area in the centre of the hotel which gives lovely natural light during day time. They put us on the 5th floor, ...  Read the complete review

This year my family and I had booked tickets to the Scotland V Ireland rugby game at murrayfield unfortunately due to the foot and mouth outbreak this trip was postponed until September. We had booked our tickets and a 2 night stay with dinner bed and breakfast at the Murrayfield Hotel, for a family of four this cost around £500. The Murrayfield had always been a firm favorite with us and we always stay there when in Edinburgh. So as usual we expected a high standard of service, how disappointed we where. When we arrived we where given the keys to our rooms. Our bedroom was comfortable but the bathroom floor was not the cleanest which I put down to the ...  Read the complete review
