We absolutely loved our stay at 21212. The bedroom was huge & luxurious with a cosy separate seating area & the kingsize bed was super comfy with crisp white linen and plenty of soft pillows. The lighting was perfect, lovely lamps which added to the ambience. The owners had thought of everything to make your stay comfortable & enjoyable. The bathroom was again huge and luxurious with gorgeous toiletries and soft fluffy towels, slippers and bathrobes. The building itself and staircase was stunning and the continental breakfast in the lovely dining room really set us up for a days exploring the city. The hotel is situated in a smart quiet residential area which is just a few minutes walk from plenty of local eateries, shopping centre and handy tram stop to get you across the city. However the Royal Mile is also a pleasant and easy walk as well. And lastly, the staff (especially lovely kind Beth) made us feel as though we were staying with friends. If you want to stay somewhere other than a chain hotel where you really feel looked after don’t hesitate to book a stay at 21212 we can’t recommend it highly enough.

Nothing except having to go home!

The ambience of the apartment was lovely, low lighting & classical music greeted us. The hosts provided lots of nice touches. They noted that the apartment could be a tad noisy with noise from the restaurant & provided Earplugs. We had no issue with getting to sleep around midnight but there was a small bit of noise from morning at up in the restaurant / main hotel alive 8.30/9am. Had we had Earplugs in we probably wouldn't have noticed. The decor is beautiful. Bed large & comfortable. Bathroom very lush. The location is fantastic if going to the playhouse for a gig. Staff were very welcoming. We would definitely recommend & consider rebooking in future

The little bit of noise in the morning but it wasn't that bad & Earplugs would have sorted it had we been bothered enough

The huge bed is very comfortable, and the bathroom luxurious. Lots of complimentary items, such as sloe gin, coffee and bottled water. Very nice toiletries in the bathroom. The room is very well equipped with a hairdryer, a well stocked fridge, bathrobes and slippers. The hotel is a beautiful regency building at the beginning of a terrace. You could see right across the Firth of Forth from our window. The location is brilliant, just a short walk to St James' Quarter, in a great area with lots of restaurants and bars, and a few steps from the theatre. We didn't have the breakfast this time due to meeting family, but this is now the only hotel I want to stay at when I visit Edinburgh, and I'm looking forward to trying their breakfast next time. I really can't fault it.

This place was easily 1/3 of the price of every hotel we looked at when we booked so we weren’t expecting a lot, but it was stunning. It’s a whole apartment with multiple seating areas, an emperor sized bed, a pull out single bed (but one of the couches is also big enough to sleep on), a kitchenette, mini bar, dishwasher, washing machine/dryer, a large wardrobe room for storage with a dressing table, and a lovely bathroom equipped with bathtub, shower, twin sinks and a light up mirror. The location is great - it’s really close to the shopping centre and train station, and there are a few cafes, delis and pubs around if you need anything. The lady who greeted us at check in and check out was really friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

The restaurant is right above the apartment and it closed at midnight so there was a bit of noise between 12-12:30 while they closed up - we didn’t mind this but it might not be suitable if you have small children or if you’re a light sleeper.

Beautifully designed, clean, spacious room. Lovely team.

Did not understand there was no bar/restaurant on Sun-Mon-Tues

The layout, bathroom, kitchen, den, bedding, cleanliness, location, decor, this property has it all. The proximity to key areas in the city is wonderful, the breakfast that was arranged for us prior to arrival. The mini bar, the area for tv, the bathroom is superb and was super clean. The apartment gives you privacy.

With global trends in weather (warming), fans or a/c are needed, had trouble sleeping as there is not air circulation (apartment is at the bottom floor). Investing in a couple of tower fans would go a long way and will enable for better sleeping.

We had a wonderful time staying at this gorgeous hotel. From the warm greeting at the door and the smooth check-in to entering our room, the hospitality was absolutely brilliant. The biggest surprise came when we opened the door to our room—it was incredibly spacious, with beautiful decor, a large ensuite, and a comfortable bed. Everywhere was spotless, and it was clear the owners had thought of everything. The room was stocked with loads of snacks and a variety of alcoholic beverages, including a special alcohol treat that you need to experience. My daughter and I will definitely be returning just to enjoy the luxury of the room again. And the breakfast? It’s an absolute must-try. We had a great time.

Everything was fantastic

The room and bathroom were fantastic and a great value for the money. I also thought the location was wonderful. We were just around the corner from the John Lewis Center and the heart of New Town, but the side street was a quiet oasis. We also took full advantage of the footpath to Calton Hill just steps from the hotel. Finally, both Beth and Katie were friendly, knowledgeable and exceedingly competent concierges.

The breakfast was very basic for the price -- yogurt, fruit and pastries. Also, because the bar is part of the restaurant, not the hotel, the hours depend on how busy the restaurant is. It was open after 10:00 on Saturday night when we came in for a nightcap, but was closed when we returned at 9:00 on Sunday. There was a well stocked bar in our room so that was fine, but it is something to note.

The character features throughout, the birds singing outside my window, the exquisite bedding. I appreciate being informed ahead of time that, if taking a tram from the airport, Picardy Place was the best stop to get off at. That probably saved me a lot of hard hill-climbing if I hadn’t known.

I wish there would have been a bathmat. The stairs to the top floor would have been hard for me if I had stayed more than one day. I’d have had to have been on a low floor.

Room was good size and bathroom was fantastic particularly the large bath and shower - mini bar was very well stocked and bed very comfortable. Hosts were fantastic very friendly and helpful

No coffee machine in room and only small coffee cups available .. I think a small coffee machine in room would be an easy addition ., also a choice of pillows would be good .. they were very soft but these are only suggestions they did not detract from fantastic stay
