The Rutland Hotel, Edinburgh

Room was excellent, very clean and well provided. Great hair dryer and staightners, water every day, coffee and tea facilities, a nice tea cake every day. Great shower and bathroom. We ate breakfast in the Huxley, the on site restaurant downstairs which is open to the public but is part of the hotel and was excellent. Guests receive a 20% discount. Location was excellent, very near the castle and Princes Street. Staff in the hotel including the Huxley were brilliant, very helpful and friendly.

Would have liked a bigger bed but that's a minor point. Everything else was great.

Beautiful rooms, great breakfast and great location

The apartment was very spacious and well equipped (three adults). The back yard was a plus.

I loved our apartment. 19-3. So spacious and lovely decor. Bath products were nice. Huge kitchen. Breakfast t returns next door was delicious and got 20 percent off each meal. Nice compact gym

Gym should be cable by room key and not have to wit for busy front del staff. Hours are too short for gym.

Very friendly and helpful staff. GREAT location - walked with equal ease to locations in new town and old town. Castle view room was outstanding.

No complaints

We got an upgrade and the room was so large. The location was good for walking and public transport

Nothing - bit on the pricey side

Fantastic location, super room

Just didn’t have English breakfast tea in the selection, I’m sure if I had called down it would have been brought.

The staff was amazing, particularly this lovely man with a nose ring at the front desk. The room was so cool and had luxurious touches. The tunnock’s were the icing on the cake for me. Such a treat! Awesome location with a great view. Very quiet street at night. We would absolutely stay here again.

N/A. It was great.

The bed is comfortable. The amenities are great too. Staff is welcoming and super helpful.

Good location. Large room. Smart TV.

Disabled bathroom was huge and luxurious, but the sink was too small, practically unusable, especially by a disabled person. Small elevator for a wheelchair. Too many doors to the room.

Location, nice room and very friendly staff

Central location

N/A

Very spacious, well appointed flat in the heart of Edinburgh. Super easy to get around this lovely city.

Nothing! Excellent overall.

The room, the facilities, the brilliant staff, limitless supply of Tunnocks Tea Cakes, everything.

Saying goodbye

Everything! The location, the friendly staff, the beautiful room, the onsite restaurant, laundry service

Nothing

The 2 bed apartment was exceptional. Huge bedrooms, 1 edroom is ensuite and a fabulous lounge kitchen overlooking the street

Beautiful and spacious apartment

Great location and the garden apartment was gorgeous

Lovely furnished apartment in beautiful georgian townhouse in a great location. Comfy beds and great jacuzzi bath. Fully equiped kitchen with Nespresso machine and little treats provided. Super friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast at the Huxley every morning was absolutely outstanding!

Nothing. The apartment was on the second floor so be prepared to climb some stairs.

We had a room with a beautiful view of the castle, which made our stay even more special. We were absolutely delighted — the room was very cozy, and the overall atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service at the hotel was excellent, and we were fully satisfied with everything. The room had everything needed for a comfortable stay — even a hair straightener, which was a lovely and unexpected touch! For those traveling by car, there is a parking option just a 5-minute walk away, and the hotel offers a 50% discount. We used this service and really appreciated the savings. Overall, a wonderful experience — we would definitely stay here again!

We booked a standard room and, fortuitously, when we arrived we were told that we were upgraded to a luxury apartment so I can't rate our original booking. However, the luxury apartment was beyond gorgeous and comfortable and I highly recommend that anyone who wants a splurge in Edinburgh should spend their money here. We had a late-night dinner in their Huxley Bar when we arrived, and breakfast there in the morning. Both were excellent. The location is perfect for exploring Edinburgh

Nothing

Perfect location, amazing room, excellent restaurant (Huxley) and gin bar (underground) are part of the hotel, nice staff.

Bathtub is slippery, dangerous, be careful.

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
