"The rooms require a major refurbishment. The bed was so soft and uncomfortable and the bathroom was so dated given what we paid we should have been surprised .
On the plus side the restaurant and dinner was lovely.
We not stay again."

"We stayed for an entire week and loved our stay. James and Amanda were very kind and helpfull and made a delicious fresh breakfast every day. The room was nice, clean and tidy. The location was perfect for visiting Eninbrugh while also visiting other cities by rental car, because we could park for free. Highly recommended!"

We really enjoyed our stay, the food was great, and the beer choices excellent. The room was basic, I loved the old school bathroom. Perfect transport links for trips into the city, plus a very dog friendly area with walks along the Water Of Leith. Our dog was made very welcome.
Will stay at the Riccarton Inn again

From arrival to departure we were met with really attentive staff throughout the hotel who provided professional service within an informal friendly manner.
From reception to dining room, breakfast and cleaning staff there was an informal relaxed atmosphere with a professional delivery.
This was the backdrop we wished for to enable us to have a relaxing break in a lovely part of the country away from the stresses of everyday life.

Hotel and Spa staff were very welcoming and helpful. Chef was amazing cooked a special vegan meal for my daughter each night we ate in hotel, as there was nothing suitable for her on menu.
Room was comfortable and we had everything we required (only feedback I would give is that it would have been more useful to have a couple more sockets available). Loved the spa and we were very happy with the treatments we had. We also enjoyed the pool facilities (hydro, sauna and steam). The surroundings...

This is a traditional hotel close to the centre of the town. Very comfortable and the staff were excellent, The only problem was access to the car park at the rear of the hotel was by a number of flights of stairs and as I am in the over 80 group I found this rather a nuisance. Younger generation will find it less of a problem.

My wife and I stayed at The Resident Edinburgh on Friday, 13th November 2026, to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and we had a wonderful experience.
The hotel itself is lovely, and our room was really nice with great attention to detail throughout. What really stood out, though, were the staff—everyone we encountered was so lovely, welcoming, and friendly. They even left some chocolates in our room alongside a card with a lovely message for our anniversary, which was such a thoughtful...

Great stay. We arrived a bit early and the room was ready. Close to a tram stop or about a 30 min walk to princes street. Plenty of shops, cafes and bars nearby.

Set in a beautiful part of Edinburgh, the hotel is decorated stylishly with an eclectic mix of art and fixtures. The staff are friendly, the room was lovely with a pretty view across the back gardens of buildings on the row. Breakfast was amazing and the service was excellent. I'd definately recommend this hotel and will certainly be back.
