Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“Set within two Victorian town houses that sit across the road from one another, with each offering a selection of beautifully appointed rooms and suites, this hotel is one of Edinburgh’s most luxurious boutique options.”

Telegraph review:

“There’s nothing stuffy about these Victorian villas, their comely original features lovingly preserved in a design-led transformation to sleekest boutique. With stylish bedrooms and a classy bar serving modest food all day, just a 10-minute bus ride from the city centre, they’re a matched pair of handsome dark horses.”

Lonely Planet review:

“Dunstane House and its companion, Hampton House, are large Victorian villas dating from the 1860s but totally refurbished in 2017. Gorgeous modern styling complements the many original features, including period fireplaces, stained-glass windows and ornate cornices.”

Such a warm and atmospheric hotel. The dining/breakfast space was my favorite.

Beautiful interior. Wonderfully preserved. The room wasn’t very big but the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was nice but on the pricier side. Staff was wonderful, especially during our check-in. They offered us hot chocolate, sat us by the fire and sent us a list of restaurant recommendations.

The fire alarm went off on the first night and took some time to be fixed. They mentioned there’d be some sort of compensation but we didn’t end up getting any. Other than that everything else was lovely.

Great location, about 20 minutes walk into Edinburgh city centre. Shops, cafes and restaurants close by. We took the tram from airport to Haymarket and then 5 minutes walk to hotel. Can join river walk into the centre a few minutes from hotel which was lovely. Lovely, friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. Room was great and the bed very comfortable.

New years eve stay

The building looked impressive when we arrived and we were greeted by Zoltan who made us feel very welcome. We were seated in the main room where Zoltan checked us in and offered us a welcome drink, before we were shown to our suite which was very spacious and clean with a cosy living area. We had a great night's sleep and decided to have the Scottish breakfast the following morning, although the menu had lots of options! I have already recommended The Roseate to friends and family and look forward to another visit soon

All fantastic

Overall great location, friendly staff in a beautiful setting.

Location was great. Style and Character of main building was extremely appealing. Young Scottish waiter (not sure his name - blonde pony tail) was very friendly and gave great service. Room cleaning staff wete also very professional and friendly.

Restaurant breakfast and dinner were average compared to local restaurants but expensively priced. Water pressure in bathroom was weak and shower didnt stop dripping.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Lovely property, great staff.

Staff is utterly delightful - EVERYONE! Always willing to help, informative, and great company.

The location was a little further away from the main activity. Didn't mind taking the bus, once I understood how to get from A to B, but got turned around alot. Didn't feel safe walking around the hotel at night, so going out in the evening meant taking a taxi.

Would highly recommend this hotel for a nice place to add to the gem of a city Edinburgh is!

The hotel was amazing it has a nice old fashioned feel to it and the room was beautiful. We didn’t use the bar but from what I seen it was good. It was a short walk to the city centre or there was a bus stop right outside to take you into it. The staff were all friendly and very informative and took their time to stop and chat, I had a good chat with Zoltan who made me and my girlfriend feel very welcomed.

A fabulous long weekend!

The property is in an ideal location for Murrayfield if you’re watching the rugby and also not too far outside of the main city centre. You can walk or get a bus that stops right outside the front. The building is magnificent and the room was equally stunning. The service is excellent we couldn’t fault anything.

Amazing stay - comfortable and beautifully decorated.

This experience was so great! They had everything ready, including a bed for our dog. Because the restaurant is not dog friendly they served breakfast directly to our room and it was amazing. We are very happy with our stay.

To park your car and bring your dog there are extra costs associated. We were not aware of this.

Good location as short walk to Haymarket. Nice area.

Had the best welcome we’ve ever had to a hotel with a sit down and a coffee and a chat before being shown to our room.

That it was over the road from the main hotel. Carpet was fraying. Shower wasn’t great. Staff during breakfast had a cold and was snuffling and snorting making me feel quite ill.

Very comfortable guest house within walking distance to restaurants and attractions. Breakfast is very good with a lot of choices. Be aware that not all rooms are situated within the main house. Our room was in the building across the road from the main house, so a short walk for breakfast in the morning. Overall though an enjoyable stay and very quiet rooms.

Comfortable and convenient stay but will def ask for a room in the main house next time.

The main hotel looked lovely and we had a delicious breakfast. The staff were lovely.

Wasn’t too enamoured with our room which was opposite the main hotel in a basement next to a rather uninviting common-roomesqe communal sitting area.

Very charming hotel.

Very charming, felt like we were at home, very comfortable. Short walk to bus stop and tram. Highly recommend.

There was no air conditioning and to open a window at night for cool air you had to open the whole window which is a safety concern. Someone could’ve easily just crawled into a window. I suggest latches that prevent the windows from opening all the way. Also very little explanation about how to operate wall furnace and floor heating. Major complaint a party was booked by one of our rooms and it was VERY loud. Had to complain about the noise level. Should’ve booked a location that wasn’t next to bedrooms.

It was in a unique older building and I liked the quiet location. We like to walk so it was in walking distance for to city center if y don’t mind a 1 mile walk. Otherwise there are buses right out front. Staff were very welcoming.

Nice and comfortable.

Room was nice, I can't say excellent because I was staying in the other building that was a little bit disappoint me. Breakfast was nice and the service as well. The bar was very nice and it's a good spot to spend your afternoon.

I didn't have a room in the main building that I was expecting. I had a room with no view. It was clean and pleasant but as my 1st stay in Edinburgh I would have preferred a room with an outside view.

Beautiful place with great service.

Beautiful! Inside and out. Especially loved the restaurant decor and atmosphere. Loved the playlist when we arrived. Jamie was super helpful, as was the girl working at the bar (regrettably didn’t get her name). We’re willing to hold our bags till check in. Had storage for bags unneeded during stay to help with space.

No face washcloths (seems to be common in Europe). Room was TINY. I’d recommend not going with the petite room unless just one person, or a couple traveling very light (carry-ons only).

This hotel was a nice retreat after long days of sightseeing.

A cozy Scottish hotel experience you'll remember!

While you have to consider transport to and from the heart of the city, the bus is right outside your door, Ubers are inexpensive and you will feel grateful at the end of the night when you're peacefully tucked into a more comfortable room without outside noise. I thought the buildings were both beautiful – yet the house across the street is far more modern and I preferred it to the main building – and the restaurant and outside bar was picture perfect. Breakfast is a must one of the days as is taking the local walk into town along the river. I wish I had known about it sooner actually!

The food wasn't as good as I would have liked. Staff was accommodating and comped dinner when we didn't eat it. Overall a very good hotel but I expected more. While my room in the more modern building across the street was more comfortable, my parent's room in the main building (in the same "class") was small and lacking for a luxury hotel price.
