The Rutland Hotel, Edinburgh

Design, cleanliness, friendly staff Heated bathroom floors Excellent restaurant: the Huxley.

I asked for an extended stay because our flight was at 10pm, and willing to pay for the extra hours, they declined so I had to pay for a full extra night (I checked out at 7:40pm).

The best hotel we stayed for a while. Great location, two restaurants in the building, a short walk to car park and public transport. Our room was beautifully decorated, full of character, great bar, coffee / tea making facilities, fresh milk, handmade truffles, complimentary still & sparkling water. Amazing shower products. Room had everything we could possibly need, even hair straightener. Loved ground floor restaurant for breakfasts and drinks (same business, discounts for guests). Also went to steak house with friends, guest discount was much appreciated! Would love to come for Christmas / New Year but too expensive then. This place is worth it though!

The property is a beautiful fully renovated apartment, only meters from the main building. It is super spacious, top notch decorations and fully equipped with appliances in the kitchen and bathroom. It is quite, daily cleaned and restocked with everything you need. On top of that, you have the great service of a hotel- the staff is incredibly attentive. Beds are more than comfortable, they are delight. Bathrooms have heated floors (2 great bathrooms). The living room area is great to wind down after a walking day. The terrace/patio with access to an internal garden is perfect to enjoy a lovely breakfast or great sunset drink. Decor is top notch, modern with a warm touch.

Our room and bathroom was very spacious, clean and decorated beautifully. The staff was very friendly. After we checked out, the staff was very nice to keep our luggage safe while we went on a tour.

For the price, I think it should have included breakfast.

Very friendly staff, outstanding location close to the castle, very good breakfast

The staff were so friendly and helpful. They are a credit to the hotel and restaurant. Loved the whole ambiance of the hotel, really felt like a special treat staying there.

Nothing. Loved the hotel.

The room was clean, spacious, beautiful and had the biggest windows with the view of Edinburgh. The location is perfect, right next to Edinburgh castle and all other tourist attractions. All is within walking distance. The breakfast at the Huxley was also really good. We enjoyed are stay very much, and if we come to Edinburgh again we will definitely choose this hotel again.

It was beautiful - really spacious , nicely done out - just really lovely and exceeded expectations

Liked everything

Quirky boutique hotel. Quiet and comfortable. Great location and views from room.

All of the above.

Location

Stairs up to apt

The best room we have ever had. The room number one in the building fifteen, is absolutely perfect. Feels like at home

Gorgeous apartment - super central and well stocked

Every single thing!

Nothing!

We got our room upgraded for free. Spacious room. Chic design. Breakfast is great. Location pretty good.

Long wait times for breakfast, bad smell in elevator lobby from old carpet. Some things need refreshing in a room.

Breakfast at the Huxley was outstanding.

Beautiful old building. Great size apartment.

I moved the mirror in the bedroom as it was strangely in a corner facing the bed which made it unusable. On doing this I discovered it was covered in dust at the back as was the skirting. All skirting’s need a good clean. Also the mirror is at a weird angle which makes you look odd when getting dressed. Although it is a very nice mirror. Looks like there’s some kind of leak in the bathroom. There was water to side of bath. I assumed the cleaner hadn’t dried up properly but it was there the next day too. No proper light above the dressing table mirror so you can see when drying your hair. No coverings on the windows from the outside world for a wee bit of privacy unless you close the curtains completely which means no light gets in. I feel you should make folk aware of the amount of work going on across the road. Very noisy and felt like the lorry drivers were staring straight in. Bottled water should be kept in fridge to keep cold. Coffee machine instructions in your magazine are incorrect. I had to google to work out how to put the pod in. Your cleaners need to either have their conversations somewhere else rather than outside the door or keep their voices down. Male and female talking loudly outside the door for a long time. These may seem bitty but all add up to what makes your experience. Especially when it’s a celebration visit. I wanted it to be perfect.

Liked the luxurious decor and the cleanliness of the hotel the attention to detail was excellent

Nothing

Central but quiet location. Friendly and helpful staff from Kade on reception to the staff at the restaurant. We loved the radio welcome in the room with classic fm playing and complimentary chocolates!

Nothing, everything exceeded our expectations

Staff were wonderful, room was luxurious, location to old town was perfect and easy to get to by tram or bus from airport.

No grab bar to get in and out of the gorgeous tub/shower and that was a bit treacherous. Recent Reno of bathroom obviously and absolutely beautiful.

Location was great & breakfast was very good.

Lift did not go to the top floor

Stayed at the Rutland as the hotel looked impressive, was in Central Edinburgh, Kylie's looked intriguing, easy access to places we planned to visit. We were not disappointed. A bit strange entering from what seems to be a side entrance, but a warm welcome ensued. The room was clean and had a good perspective. We enjoyed the Huxley bar several times, and felt very relaxed. Service was excellent, friendly, not overbearing and helpful. We really enjoyed the soft background music, maybe our era, but was not intrusive. Had a belated birthday meal in Kyloes, enjoyed the presentation of the cuts, the service was very good and the food was enticing and enjoyable - maybe our eyes were a bit too big, but we finished what we ordered. Overall an excellent stay and would consider staying there again.

Great location and customer service.

N/A

Gorgeous apartment in a fab location - really easy to get round the city and with plenty in the immediate vicinity. The place comes complete with everything you need and plenty of extras!

Nothing - it was perfect.

Wet smart and classy Very clean great location in the heart of everything I was upgraded to a one bed apartment and they are world class

Nothing

Great hotel. Excellent location, very comfortable and stylish room with views of the castle. Reception staff helpful. Will definitely return.

Excellent location. Easy access to everything in New and Old Town, Tram, restaurants.

The location is so convenient to Edinburgh Castle, and everything in old town, including wonderful, pubs, beautiful scenery, easy walks to Waverley station and to Royal Mile and Princess Gardens

We rented a car so the parking was a couple blocks away, but not a real problem. They have a discount at the hotel, which was lovely.

Extremely friendly and comfortable hotel in a central location in Edinburgh. Great dining on site as well

Everything

Nothing

Absolutely everything, what a fantastic gem in a perfect location. From the lovely warm greeting from Jill (who couldn’t have been nicer), to the apartment itself

Nothing, all brilliant, will definitely be back

A spacious apartment, with modern decor in a central but relatively quiet area with excellent access to restaurants and all the major tourist sites. The hotel provided a 50% discount on the nearby NCP car park.

Location was good and the front desk people were kind and helpful. Outside sound was barely heard from the apartment so we were able to get good sleep. Room service was great too. We would definitely stay there again.

Only small thing I wish was that I could have felt the air cooler. We run hot and turning it quite a bit down didn’t feel any different but maybe we can bring a fan next time.

Everything, professional team, clean stylish room with absolutely amazing sitting places at the window! Nice location, wonderful breakfast. Very happy with our choice

Nothing to critisize. The only small thing is that the elevator is not reaching the last floor but the hotel is definitely 10 out of 10.

Staffed with actual people, super nice. I booked the same day and was provided a handicap room which was very large. They have a small elevator which is convenient.

The hardest bed I have ever slept on, only thing I would change.

Great location

Huge room with excellent views and a very comfy bed! Delicious breakfast at the Huxley

Poor water pressure in shower

such a lovely room , perfect !

nothing!

Excellent clean spaces apartment

Good location and the room was excellent.

This is the best place we have ever stayed. Everything exceeded our expectations. The furnishings are of an extremely high standard, the apartment was huge. It was cleaned every day. The staff are extremely kind. The location is the best in Edinburgh - everything is within walking distance. It exceeded our expectations!

We have no comments.

Exceptional propertly, very nicely kept

There were food stains in the oven from earlier guest I think which was overlooked by cleaning staff I guess

Great location for staying in Edinburgh for business or for pleasure

The location (everything within 20 minutes of walking and it was also quiet) and the service were top notch.

The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. A lovely apartment, comfortable and clean with everything you need on your doorstep.

We got upgraded so we were pleased to have a little more space. The room was very clean and the staff were very helpful. Location was very good and the NCP car park was a 3 minute walk away (good when you’re having to carry bags). We were relieved that the parking was only £45 for 3 days with the Rutland discount code. Download the NCP app, add your card info then scan your QR code at entry to the car park. Add your discount code to the app. When you leave scan the QR code again and it’ll work out how much. There were lots of spaces free at castle terrace. Overall couldn’t fault the hotel. My bf enjoyed the tea cakes. I’d recommend and stay again.

Location and spacious rooms

Beautiful boutique hotel with every luxury , gorgeous castle view as an upgraded room

Nothing

fantastic view

Lovely decor, comfortable chairs in room complementary tea and coffee machine. Tunnocks tea cakes were a hit. Although not used there was a comprehensive bar available in the room. GHD hairdryer and straighteners. Lovely bathroom with rain shower.

Nothing.

Apartment 15/4 was stunning. Very quirky and the perfect space to spend a few nights in with family and/or friends.

It was perfect!
