The Ruthland Hotel, Edinburgh

Location was very good the top of Princes Street. Close to Usher Hall. Staff very polite and helpful.

The aircon needed to be colder. Lift only went to the 2nd floor. Breakfast start time was 8am needed to be earlier especially when going out for the day.

Beautiful decor, clean and breakfast was superb!

It was perfect!

The room was fabulous, and what a view (we booked the Edinburgh Castle view)! Helpful and friendly staff. Location was great too.

Great colleagues and knowledgeable about the city of Edinburgh. Room was stunning and clean.

Location

Lack of some facilities

Staff were absolutely amazing. The location is great. The room was lovely

That I had to leave 😂

Pure luxury in the heart of Edinburgh

Rooms, place

50 steps,3 th,floor. No lift No microwave oven .

It was lovely, spacious, clean, super central and the staff very friendly and accommodating. Couldn’t ask for a better stay in Edinburgh!

Spacious apartment

Not much. Grill restaurant pricey but 20% discount for guests

Book this room! It’s amazing you will feel like royalty. Or at least what you think they will feel like. The view alone is worth the trip. The front is unassuming but the rooms are special.

Not did not like but be aware that if stairs are not your friend staying in the space may be difficult but not impossible.

Large and beautifully decorated room with all the amenities and a magnificent view of the castle, in the perspective of Princes street. Excellent location.

I was surprised by the apartment-type reception. Do not expect a hotel with a reception, lounge and bar/breakfast room: there is none of that.

absolutely excellent the food prep and variety was amazing, the staff where excellent as was the location Breakfast was exceptional

Very friendly staff and we were delighted when we were upgraded to a fantastic one bedroom apartment. The apartment was stylish , generous in size and super comfortable.

Great location! Very comfortable rooms too.

Nothing

Although we only stayed 2 night, was one of our favorite hotels in the 14 days we traveled to UK. Wonderful location and great hotel. Directly across from Johnny Walker whisky tasting experience and near a bunch of restaurants. The tasty marshmallow cookies were a nice bonus!

I can’t think of anything we didn’t like.

Everything 😀

Hotel is in a wonderful location close to trams ..Room was fabulous and spotless.

Location is outstanding! Great Views of the Castle! Everything is literally walking distance! Food delicious! Must come to Edinburgh to stay at Rutland!

The size of the room, the comfortable bed, the decor, bathroom amenities, coffee/tea station.

Great location and lovely room with a castle view! Staff were fabulous!

Trolley at night. Staff in restaurant were very slow and not attentive. Host was truly working overtime in service and hosting!

Great location, clean and comfortable apartment, very helpful and friendly staff

We were upgraded to a large luxurious apartment. It was nicely furnished with high ceilings and the apartment had a bath with separate tub and shower with great water pressure. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the hotel was very well situated. We were able to store our bags after check out (we had a later going). Room decoration was fun, despite being incongruous to the building’s Edwardian era. Attached & affiliated restaurant (The Huxley) had a good Scottish breakfast at a discount for Rutland guests.

Perfect location. Close to everything.

Our room was amazing overlooking Edinburgh Castle. Loved the hand made chocolates in the room and the furnishings were amazing. Ease of access via the lift a bonus. As we were a arriving a young couple was walking into the hotel unbeknownst to us they were employees of the hotel and immediately they helped us up the small flight of outside stairs by taking our luggage off us. A lovely first impression!

Our room was not ready as we were early by 1 hour. We were invited to have a drink in the bar at a discount price until it was available at 3pm and the American receptionist said she would get us when the room was ready. 3:10pm came and I went to the reception to see if the room was ready and no it wasn't. The original receptionist was not at the desk and so we waited a while longer.

It was clean and tastefully decorated. Very comfortable and a lovely outlook. We plan to rebook for when we return from the Highlands

I liked everything

Location is perfect, room was very nice great size and had everything even an iron. Staff are really friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast delicious with good choice.

The only tiny thing that needs to be looked at is a slight rattling noise, due to my room being on the corner close to Princess st. Trams and busses passing by vibrate what i think could be the chandelier, although it didn’t affect my sleep.

A gem of an apartment. Fantastic staff at check in, beautiful rooms and facilities and very central to everything.

Gorgeous apartment and great location

Location and quality

Spacious and beautiful rooms and well equipped. We also loved our meals at the Huxley.

Nothing

A lovely apartment, which was very clean and spacious. It felt private and quiet. The kitchen had all the amenities for us to cook up a quick meal after a long day out.

There was no elevator unfortunately so we had to make the walk up to the 3rd floor, but the hotel staff helped bring up our luggages beforehand so it wasn’t too much trouble

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment and it was GORGEOUS. High ceilings, decadent decor, and great facilities. A single curving flight of stairs to get to the apartment but the staff brought our bags up for us so not really a bother! Great restaurant for breakfast on the corner and the architecture of the building was STUNNING. Lots of shops, restaurants and bars nearby.

Maybe a little far away from the Royal Mile if that's where your stay is focused, it's a bit tricky to walk there if you're not super fit as you have to go around the Castle (but oh, the Castle!)

Room and service

the room was large with a beautiful view of the Edinburgh Castle

Fantastic location and view of the castle. Great spot to walk for food, attractions, etc. and just be in the general downtown vibe. Public transit access seemed excellent as well though I did not use it. Discounting parking in the city owned garage was excellent and close.

Super friendly, helpful and kind staff. Nice room, spacious and well equipped Loved the discount at their restaurants. Great a la carte breakfast.

Only minor detail is that i missed a kettle and some tea in the room

Very comfortable room with good bathroom and comfortable bed. The staff were all extremely friendly and remarkably helpful with great advice. The Kyloe Restaurant is fantastic with a remarkably good wine list - worth at least one visit.

The Huxley, excluding breakfast, was comparatively disappointing when it came to having a casual drink. It was a bit impersonal and the choice of beer was poor. What about a few good local beers on tap or even some local guest beers? Clientelle in the afternoon was largely young, maybe not the place for us oldies.

Room / Bathroom/ all very clean / Room view great / All Staff excellent. Breakfast fantastic good Value

only thing that could be better is lift and staircase need just a bit more cleaning

I just really liked the vibe of the room, and their breakfast was in the next door restaurant, which was so much better than most hotel breakfasts.

Gorgeous room. Cozy bed. Super friendly staff.

Beautiful boutique hotel, gorgeous rooms and helpful staff. We were given an executive room on check in which was excellent. Lovely room amenities - including GHD hair appliances. The location is perfect for attractions - right on Princes Street for shopping, just a short walk up to the castle, and also in between two tram stops meaning easy access to the airport.

With the good location comes traffic and tram noise, but with the windows closed this is very much minimised. The air conditioning in the room keeps it cool enough.

Clear view of Edinburgh Castle. Spacious room.

Elevator only goes up to the second floor while the room was on the third floor. However, the staff were very helpful with my suitcase

I stayed in an apartment that far exceeded my expectations. In our case, it was on the third floor, which was tough with luggage. They'll take the bags up for you, though. Don't be stubborn, like me. Once in the apartment, OMG! I never slept so well and I didn't want to leave.

Lots of steps to the 3rd floor apartment. Two flights but a little much for my 54 yo knees.

Great location and breakfast

Nothing

Hotel is tucked away behind a nondescript entrance opposite a much a bigger hotel. You'd miss it if you were looking. Lobby is tiny. But once inside, it's quite a stylish space and very comfortably equipped. Room was up on the third floor and offered a nice view Princes Street looking north to the Firth.

The apartment was excellent - very comfortable, beautifully furnished and with the nice bonus of a small courtyard for breakfast and early evening drinks. Despite a fantastic central location it was really quiet. Tunnocks teacakes on arrival went down very well too! The Huxley is brilliant for breakfast or cocktails and all the staff are great.

Leaving!

We got upgraded to an apartment, so bear in mind, my review is about that. - Great location - Huge space, 1 bathroom with bath, toilet and shower, 1 with toilet - Highly equipped with every amenities you can think of (really, even hair straightener) - Nicely decorated - Breakfast was at The Huxley, which was superb - Friendly and helpful staff

- Cleanness could have been better - We got a great deal on Booking, full priced rooms would have been steep in my opinion

Excellent staff, lovely rooms, and right in the heart of Old Town.

The location was great . Good restaurant in the hotel area. Very good location
