Edinburgh Hotel Guide. Romantic Hotels in New Town, Edinburgh, Scotland

Not a hotel, not a B&B; rather, staying here is like having an amazing, very large apartment in a great part of town. The accommodations are first class, spacious, clean, modern and very well-appointed, verging on luxurious; yet, the price was quite reasonable. We had a separate living room, with a dining area and a kitchen, a guest bathroom, and a separate bedroom with a closet and an adjacent, large bathroom. The staff is friendly and helpful, but discreet and essentially unnoticed unless you seek interaction. We did not avail ourselves of the room service, because there is so much good food out there In Edinburgh, but I imagine, based on the attention provided to everything else, that the food would have been just fine. The location is great, in a peaceful, quiet, and lovely residential neighborhood filled with beautiful Georgian buildings, and numerous places to eat and drink, and it's an easy ten minute walk to the intersection of Princes Street and Lothian Road. If you like to walk, you can be at the Castle and its surroundings within 25 to 30 minutes. We highly recommend!

We stayed as a family in 2 adjoining rooms which were lovely. Teenagers enjoyed the pool and spa. The location is central and so convenient to exploring. Enjoyed Scotch bar, the breakfast, and all staff were pleasant and professional. Would delighted to return.

The city on levels and a lovely castle view. Highly recommended

Very friendly staff,informative,my wife and I were in Edinburgh to attend the Tattoo,staff explained best times to go there,and easy route.

We stayed for 3 nights as a family and booked 2 rooms. We loved the hotel, which has a great restaurant, friendly staff and is in a less touristy area. Some of the rooms can be quirky so if you are not ok with a small bathroom be sure to ask for details. Also a bit of a walk to the Royal Mile, though quite scenic and fun. A charming and very Scottish experience.

Room quite small, but surprisingly comfortable, slept like a log. Staff were lovely and friendly. Slight shame in not having a lift available, but only slight, the staff and comfortable room made up for it.

Lovely hotel, very nice staff and an excellent Scottish breakfast. My room had a particularly lovely view out over the Firth of Forth. Would definitely stay again for business or pleasure.

Spacious rooms excellent kitchen convenient location to the city center. Very helpful staff.

We had a three night stay at The Howard Hotel, we were booked to stay in the petit small room, I phoned up as I was concerned the room might be a bit small for a couple, having read some reviews after booking the room. When we arrived we were upgraded to a larger room which was lovely. Andrew the Head Butler was very welcoming and helpful, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

I have never stayed anywhere where the staff was this friendly and helpful. Every interaction was a joy.
