Perfect base to explore Edinburgh
Excellent hotel, perfect base from which to explore Edinburgh. Faultless apart from the charge to store luggage on the final day. A sour note to finish a great stay.

It's a nice place but extremely expensive. There is no need for price gouging for guests. I don't know if it's just this hotel or other hotels in Edinburgh that do this. It was just a one night too and it cost me over $200 CAD! Drop your prices.

Good location handy to Waverley Station and airport tram line. Stairs to second floor rooms so might not suit anyone with mobility issues. Breakfast and house bar available.

Sarah’s 50th Birthday celebration!
Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. We stayed in a gorgeous room which was spotless. It was a large room, far bigger than we thought. Staff were lovely and very knowledgeable/helpful. The atmosphere in the hotel was fabulous, they made us feel very welcome!

Easily walkable location from which to explore the Royal Mile and vicinity. Comfortable room which was very quiet and allowed for a good night’s rest.

Nice room, but expensive.
The room rate for the Cairn was very steep. I would not book it again without better researching the offerings in the area. The bathroom was the cleanest one i have ever seen. No elevator onsite. They seem to be in the midst of a renovation as there was a fresh paint smell everywhere.

I spent two days at the Cairn and found it had everything needed. it’s in a great location within easy walking to lots of places to eat. The room was comfortable, clean, quiet, the bed and bedding wonderful. I walked to the Royal mile, train station, Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Palace but lots of transportation options from there .

Great location - we walked to all the main sites and is next to tram line for the port area! Space was tight but ok, staff friendly & helpful. Breakfast buffet was good. Secure parking is away a bit and expensive. Overall 4/5

This was a charming place to stay! Loved our room, the little touches of detail that were so thoughtful ie complimentary snacks & parting treat. Heated towel warmer was really nice & the excellent shower. Everything was very clean and we felt the location was ideal, quick walk for us (we are good walkers) to all the sites. We did not have the breakfast offer so cannot comment on that (That room was full each morning tho) Overall, loved our stay and would return without hesitation.

House keeping and front desk were disconnected. For replacement of basic things like cups and teabags, front desk directed us to talk to house keeping directly. No microwave, creaking floors, bath shower poorly designed.

Great for our needs. We were a group of couples visiting from Canada (having attended a wedding in the highlands earlier). The apartment had tons of room and a washing machine with drying rack. Fans in the units as well. The booking was a bit odd in that, once completed online, it states that you have only 'one room' when you infact have booked an entire apartment. For the price, you cant beat this unit for multiple guests. Walking to anything you want (including the mile) and for less mobile folks the bus stop for the tours was very close.

6/10 Good

Room was quite small with no fridge. You have to go to the front desk each time you need ice. Not good for older people. No lift/elevator. It requires a card for the electricity to remain on. We were on the main floor and the window would not lock properly. We stayed 2 nights and the complimentary water, snacks, etc. was only for 1 night. We had to pay extra for additional bottled water. Parking was difficult to access and was extremely expensive, which should have been included with our stay. I would not recommend this hotel.

4/10 Fair

Overprized, chepest breakfast possible
Our rating was influezed by the low price to value ratio this hotel offers. £200 pound per night for a very small room plus low quality breakfast is too much in our opinion.The room was very small, however clean and with modern, again small, bathroom, and the Hotel is in a good location for exploring Edinburgh. We were however disappointed by the breakfast. Here the owners went for the cheapest possible option with a breakfast bar (no seperate menue). The warm food from the bar was unpleasent, again the cheapest the owners could get their hands on, and far removed from any Scottish breakfast you would expect in our capital. There was one kind of ham and one kind of sliced cheddar available, again low discount store quality, as was the orange juice made from diluting juice. We would recommend guests to have their breakfasts elsewhere, this however further impacts negatively on price to value ratio.
