Dear FOODANDWINELOVER259,

Thank you very much for sharing your experience at The Edinburgh Residence and for your wonderful comments and recommendation.

We try to ensure our guests feel as much at home as possible during their stay and so serve breakfast in your spacious suite so you can relax, read the newspapers and enjoy breakfast in privacy, just as you would at home!

We hope to be able to welcome you back to The Edinburgh Residence soon.

“Gorgeous Suite”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Recently stayed here with my husband. We were given room 30 which has a castle view. Room was lovely, massive bedroom area that you could close the
Curtains so if someone was wanting to sleep & the other person wanted to watch tv the light wouldn't annoy them! Lovely living area with couches & dining area.
Lovely big bathroom with big bath!
Room had nespresso machine, microwave, kettle & a range of glasses- even champagne flutes! We normally always take a bottle of wine when we are staying in a hotel so nice to have the glasses already in the room!
Breakfast was served in our room- you tick your selection from a large list, hand it in to the reception & arrives at your specified time. Nice treat to have breakfast in your room. I often do this whilst travelling with work but you are always charged extra for this- not the case here!!

Overall a lovely stay & we will definitely return!!

Dear SarahandChris,

Many thanks for recommending The Edinburgh Residence to other TripAdvisor members and sharing some photo’s of Suite 30 that you stayed in. As a regular TripAdvisor reviewer, your comments are very much appreciated.

Our spacious suites are all individually designed and therefore each Suite has a different feel to it, though of course all in keeping with an elegant, traditional theme. Next time you stay with us, why not ask for a Suite facing the rear of the property and this time enjoy a view over the Dean Village to the Firth of Forth and beyond. A number of our suites feature a Jacuzzi bath, or a free standing roll top bath – the perfect way to relax after a day of sightseeing; shopping or working! And so as you’re not lonely in the large bathroom – there’s a rubber duck to keep you company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to The Edinburgh Residence soon.

Warm Regards,

Celia Hague

“My home from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

We just love The Edinburgh Residence and go every year, so of course looking forward very much to our annual stay there again in 2012. The Residence is delightful, in that it is in one of the best locations in Edinburgh, and the ambience, the staff, the facilities, the food and the general running of this place and fantastic rooms makes it a joy to return to each day and of course every year! Edinburgh has lots to offer within easy walking distance. Further afield there are many wonderful locations to visit and then return again to 'your home' for a comfortable sleep. It doesn't get much better than this in life.

Dear Bahar321,

Thank you for recommending The Edinburgh Residence on TripAdvisor. To be described as “faultless” is truly wonderful and it is great that we are achieving our aim of ensuring that all our guests enjoy a memorable stay with us.

Our guests can order some delicious food from our Room Service Menu at any time of the day or night and unlike other hotels, we do not apply any additional tray charges. With all our luxury Suites being larger than your average hotel room there is plenty of space to enjoy your room service meal either at the dining table (we will even set the dining table in your Suite for you should you wish); or on the sofa (maybe whilst watching one of the DVD’s from our DVD library) or on your large and comfortable double bed.

We are delighted to hear you are already becoming a regular guest and hope to be able to welcome you for either business or leisure again soon.

Kind Regards,

Celia Hague
Resort Manager
