14 Best Hotels in Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler

"One of two townhouses comprising the Dunstane Houses property, this Victorian lodging beautifully marries period features with swish design-driven style. The vibe is guesthouse meets Soho House–style member's club, with all the perks of a boutique hotel. Sixteen elegant, refined rooms mix traditional (tweedy pillows and retro phones) with modern (chevron drapes and stylish tufted headboards) details. Tones like navy, turquoise, rust, and gold mingling against dove grays and creams. Handmade Vispring mattresses and Egyptian cotton linens ensure an excellent night's sleep, and bathrooms have underfloor heating." - Krystin Arneson

The Roseate Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland - Explore & Book

"Even from outside, we could tell that these fine, warm-stone, gabled Edinburgh mansions, located across the road from each other, were going to be a treat. Stepping inside, we knew for sure. Interiors were imbued with gorgeous natural colours, from copper rust to dark inky blue, and heather-pale tweed fabrics gave it a comforting sense of place. If there's a hint of the Orkneys, it's because the Mowat family – who oversaw the 2017 restoration of what were then called The Dunstane Houses – hail from those islands. The hotel is now in the hands of the Roseate Group, who have proudly preserved the heritage and history of the buildings and their previous owners. In The Roseate Building there's the restaurant with an intimate bar and lounge, and a garden terrace out front for sundowners when the weather is fine. In The House across the road, it's mostly suites and rooms, with a communal lounge area at the back. The rooms have kingsize beds with signature wallpapers and soft rugs, and the suites feature show-stopping bathtubs and sweeping bay windows. As is so often the way, the smaller details make it all the more memorable. Like piles of pillows you dissapear into, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, and classy tweed key rings. We also enjoyed browsing the illustrations and Orkney mementos on the walls of the common rooms, including black and white photos of fishermen and local characters – and, by coincidence, a portrait of this writer’s grandmother as a child. How's that for personalised service? Highs Beautiful decor and character in the rooms, along with fabulous showers and Fired Earth copper bathtubs A friendly welcome extended to families and dog-lovers by a warm, helpful staff We loved the specialist whisky and gin bar A modern take on Scottish classics in the restaurant The airport bus stops right outside Lows It’s a 20-min walk to the centre of town, but it's very well connected with a bus stop right outside and a tram station down the road The hotel is set back a bit on a busy road, so there is some noise in the front rooms Rooms in The House are across the road, but just as plush and comfortable" - Abigail Blasi

The Roseate Edinburgh (Edinburgh, UK) 11 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Just ten minutes to the west of Edinburgh’s city center is a hotel that’s hardly a hotel at all. The Roseate Edinburgh is a pair of Victorian-era neoclassical houses, one across the street from the other, divided into a total of 35 rooms. We’ve seen smaller, to be sure, but it’s rare that a city hotel room so perfectly captures the atmosphere of a bedroom in a classic country house. The proprietors are from Orkney, and they’ve brought as much of the charm of the Northern Isles with them as they could — the only thing missing is an ocean view." - Tablet Hotels

This was such a special experience, loved everything about this hotel. I was in the Executive Room at the top of the stairs, with a beautiful view and a working telescope. The bathroom was down a few steps, very well-appointed, with shower and a bath and lovely toiletries. The shortbread (topped up daily) was delicious and the hot chocolate very welcome. The staff were so friendly and professional and I loved chatting to them over my drink/dinner. The lamb I had for my one dinner in the hotel was some of the best I’ve ever eaten. I loved the Secret Garden gin- wish it was available at home. All in all, this was a real treat and one I will remember forever.

The hotel is beautiful and located in a quiet neighborhood. Though it is a little removed from the city center, there is a bus stop right outside, and it is quite easy to access other parts of the city, as well as the airport. We had a very pleasant stay in a room in The House, which is across the street from the main hotel. All of the staff were very welcoming and super helpful. We enjoyed dinner at the Dunstane restaurant. We had breakfast included with our room rate, and were glad to have the option of room service for breakfast. The room itself was very nice and spacious. Some drawbacks - Not having lifts or ramps made it difficult to get our bags to reception to check in and then to our room on the second floor. There is no A/C, so if visiting during warmer weather, it can get uncomfortably warm in the room. A fan was provided, which was helpful, but I think it would be much more comfortable to visit this hotel when the weather is cooler.

The hotel is in a lovely building, but be prepared to carry your luggage up a narrow staircase. Even the hotel entrance has stairs. There are no lifts and no ramps of any sort. Our room was adorable but tiny. There was no closet (just some hooks on the wall at the entrance), which is unpleasantly messy. The bathroom was also very small, with a spacious shower and toilet crammed into a space so small that a tall person would find uncomfortable. The sink was placed in the bedroom itself with no counter space at all. For a single, short, and fit individual with no luggage, the room would be great. It was charming but not comfortable for us, two tall individuals with significant luggage for our 2 weeks of travel around Scotland! The staff were very nice. Maya, the receptionist, offered to help carry our luggage up the two floors to our room. She was very sweet. The location is very quiet with a most convenient bus stop in front of the hotel. The restaurant was great too! I'm sure they must have bigger rooms.... Bottom line: check the details of what you're booking!

I really enjoyed my two-night stay at the Roseate. The highlight is the friendly staff. They were able to accommodate my early check-in, and help me book an extra night when a flight cancellation left me with a bonus night in Edinburgh. The building is beautiful and in a quiet neighborhood just outside of the major attractions. I was able to walk to the Royal Mile in 30 minutes but Ubers were also readily available. The room was cozy and the bed was really comfortable. There were also plenty of outlets around the room which sometimes could be an issue in older properties. The breakfast at the hotel was also delicious. I would not hesitate to stay here again when visiting Edinburgh!

We recently stayed at Hotel Roseate and were thoroughly impressed. The staff were incredibly attentive and thoughtful, always going the extra mile to make us feel welcome. They also shared some fantastic local tips that helped us discover hidden gems around the city.||The breakfast was absolutely top-notch — fresh, varied, and beautifully presented each morning. The entire hotel has a wonderful atmosphere, combining elegance with a cozy, relaxed vibe.||One of the biggest highlights for us was how dog-friendly the hotel is! Our pups were welcomed with treats and lots of love, which made our stay even more enjoyable.||If you're visiting the area, I highly recommend Hotel Roseate — a perfect blend of comfort, service, and charm. We'll definitely be back!

We LOVED our stay at the Roseate! We wish we could have stayed longer. We got upgraded for free and our room was beyond beautiful. The bed was comfortable, they provided robes, and the room was stocked with amenities. The restaurant at the hotel has great options for breakfast lunch and dinner. The staff is AMAZING. Every single person we interacted with made us feel like we were kings and queens. They met us at the door and brought our bags up the stairs for us, so even though there isn't an elevator, we didn't have to struggle with our bags. The whole manor is stunning. I wish there was overnight food options but it makes sense there isn't as this is a more BNB style hotel. We can't wait to come back.

Wow, wow, wow! It was such a great experience from the moment you arrive at the hotel. It is such an elegant and stunning property inside and out. The staff could not be any nicer and we will definitely be back! The food was delicious, the rooms are clean and beautifully designed and the bartenders are the best in the city.

Gorgeous and luxurious and top notch service. We stayed in two rooms in Annex building and didn’t mind walking over for the bar or breakfast The neighborhood does smell of the distillery (brewery smell of wheat and barley or something- pretty strong smell and not pleasant really) the building and room were fragranced with nice smells but a bit overpowering for my personal taste. |The fan was great. Breakfast was delicious and the evening drinks in the main dining were enjoyable and relaxing with good soft music

Lovely hotel with such great service. Atmosphere and hospitality is well met upon arrival. We feel like we've been transported to the late 1800's with such bold old decor! I dig it very much. Definitely going to explore this lovely place of refuge the next few days. Restaurant was great with quick service... we were starving from our long train travel in from London. Thank you to all who all make this place possible to experience its beauty and glory.

Absolutely recommend! My husband and I spent 5 nights at The Roseate and had the opportunity to have a few meals here. If you get a chance , their afternoon tea is an absolute must! Everything was beyond perfect.

I spent 2 weeks in the UK and stayed at 4 different hotels/B&Bs and this was by far my favorite. Unfortunately, I only stayed for one night but I would love to have enjoyed the house longer. Our room was upgraded and was absolutely beautiful with a four-poster bed and lovely furnishings. The bathroom was immaculate, warm, and had a perfect shower. The rooms feel very fresh and new. One of the few places I have ever stayed that actually looks better than the professional photos from the hotel website. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. I did not have a chance to dine, but grabbed a night cap, wonderful red wine, at the bar. It was so cozy and comfortable. I cannot recommend this place enough. Things to note: A bit of a walk to New Town area but not too far. Careful not to mix up with the The Dunstane City Hotel...it is right across the street and cab drivers can get confused dropping off & picking up.

A nice place to have a quiet pint after work...a nightmare trying to get one when the rugby is playing down the road (as with all pubs and hotels in the area!) however the staff are welcoming and it's a place you can relax and enjoy.

Clean room, nice ambience. Walking distance to town if you enjoy walking. The bus stop is located right in front of the hotel. The beer selection is nice I just wish they had draught available not just bottles. The only downside is that there isn't a lot of parking and it fills up fast.

Stayed here on my honeymoon. Had nothing but amazing encounters with the staff. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was great that we added onto our room reservation. It was also really easy to get into town as the bus stop was right outside of the hotel and was a short 10 minutes ride. Loved it and would not stay anywhere else in Edinburgh.

Lovely wee boutique hotel! Very spacious, close to the city and reasonable price. We stayed in the luxury 'blue room'. While the room itself was stunning I have a few dislikes! Its situated within 10 feet of the reception desk which although wasn"t excessively noisey we could still here the foot traffic of people heading in and out etc. Its also on the ground floor so we had to close the curtains/blinds to get ready which made it incredibly dark even with all of the lights on....I'm all for mood lighting but I also don't want to look like I've literally got dressed in the dark! Breakfast was good and at a reasonable hour!(7-10.30). All in all lovely place to stay but would reccomend asking im advance for a room not on the ground floor.

A little out of the way, but super comfortable and reasonably priced. The hotel actually had a separate building across the street and that's where we stayed. The rooms are small but comfortable The staff couldn't be nicer and there's a terrific breakfast. Oh yeah, they even have an 'honor bar' where you can come by for a late night drink or two. Just write down what you had.

Booked the four poster room for a couple of nights when we went to Murrayfield to watch the 6 nations rugby match against Wales. The staff were very friendly and the room was beautiful and HUGE. They serve an amazing scottish breakfast and its an excellent location within easy walking distance of the city centre and the stadium. Quite expensive but well worth the cost.

I am writing about a reservation issue that was so unpleasant that I am writing my first review. I called the Dunstane House Hotel recently to make reservations 6 months in advance of our first visit to Scotland. I had a long conversation with their reservation clerk to ensure that a member of our group with severe mobility restrictions could be adequately accommodated. I was also only interested in staying in the main hotel after reading other Tripadvisor reviews. After exploring all of our options I was able to confirm first floor rooms in the main hotel that would make our stay possible. Imagine my surprise, when shortly afterwards, I received the following email: "I spoke with you on the phone earlier regarding a booking at the hotel. Unfortunately I have promised you rooms which have already been promised to another guest who booked a while ago with severe mobility issues... I am ever so sorry about this." Oddly enough, he and I were on the phone together for at least thirty minutes - and even jointly looked at Orbitz online to compare what seemed to be a pricing discrepancy - and both his own and the third party site shown these rooms to be available! I have since spoken to the manager of the Dunstane House Hotel who gave me a completely different story. According to her, in an "amazing, first time ever coincidence" someone else was booking these exact same rooms, also six months in advance, also with mobility problems and the "system" accepted their reservations first. And, so sorry, those were the only first floor rooms in the main hotel. Unfortunately, however, the most believable part of her explanation was that, while we were trying to reserve three nights, the other party was booking a two-week stay - need one say more? This has been such a unique and unpleasant experience, the explanations so unbelievable, and the discrepancy between the 'instantaneous online conflict' and the 'booked a while ago' explanations so irreconcilable, that I can only offer my personal "beware" to anyone looking to make arrangements at the Dunstane house.

I was trying to book a hotel for an upcoming business trip and this hotel had good reviews. Here was the problem I ran into. My travel department at work got a quote for GBP 2957 with a 50% deposit. We agreed and booked within an hour. When the charge posted we realized they had raised the rate to GBP 3627 which is over a $1000 USD difference! We called immediately to cancel the reservation and we were told that there would be a cancellation charge even though their policy specifically says you have 14 days to cancel. After long negotiations they "only" charged us a nights stay of $429 to cover their fees! Are they kidding?!? Not only should their be no fee that is an excessive administrative fee. Very unprofessional, rude and unethical. Would not recommend anyone to stay here.
