The building is located in Edinburgh's historic center, close to tourist attractions, accessible on foot or by public transportation. The room we stayed in was designed for four people, with a bathroom and a beautiful window overlooking the street. The room is very spacious (plenty of room for four), well-furnished, and clean. The stay was very comfortable for a family of four adults. The residence is an excellent choice for those who want to stay in the beautiful city of Edinburgh and enjoy all its attractions. The staff was very kind and helpful.

The room was beautiful, warm, and cosy, set in a charming old Victorian house full of character. It was also spotless and well-maintained, making it feel like a true home away from home. The location was fantastic—just a 15-minute walk to the Castle and Old Town, yet tucked away in a peaceful area. On top of that, I was pleasantly surprised to have access to the garden. Shops, cafes, and other amenities are all within a short walking distance, making everything super convenient. The stay was also great value for money, especially considering the comfort and charm of the place. To top it all off, the owner was very accommodating and allowed me a late checkout, which made my departure much smoother.

I honestly can’t find anything major to criticize—just a few minor quirks typical of older buildings, but nothing that would take away from the experience. Overall, a fantastic stay, and I would highly recommend Residence No 57 to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

The place is nice for a short stay in Edinburgh. It's about 20 mins walk to the city but it was all good as we took our time to enjoy the view. We got a room on the ground floor so no stairs involved. For 3 people, we thought the room was spacious. There's a private bathroom and also a small kitchen (cooking utensils are not provided, just cutlery but it was okay since we were here for 1 night). We would love to come back again and stay in this place.

The room could use a little bit of cleaning as we found that some of the areas were a bit dusty.

The property was very nice, clean and pleasant. Bed was amazingly comfortable to the point I’d love to know where the mattress is from! It has good transport links to the city centre and is on a main bus route.

It’s a bit further than stated walking distance and I’m a fast walker! That said it’s a lovely walk! This isn’t a dislike but the loo roll was left in a very high shelf in toilet and imma very short person 😂😂. Maybe something to be aware of lol.

Location was great, the twin room has its own bathroom facilities. Shower was powerful. We had read the reviews and were worried before we got there. It's actually not that bad. Decor a little dated and need freshening up in places. Towels were clean, bedding was clean. Overall, it was ok. I liked how you didn't have to speak to anyone to get to your room. There were room locks out side and you are messaged with your code and room number.

Our room looked like it was missing curtains. The sun was bright in the morning with just blinds. The water pressure on the sink was poor. But these are just minor, it didn't really impact negatively on our experience.

The instructions to enter the property were very clear and easy. I liked that I was able to check in/check out myself without needing to meet someone! The room was very clean and had everything I needed for my stay. I was on the top floor, which did get warm, but the fan and the large open window were plenty to keep the room cool, not to mention the great view from the window! There were multiple rooms at the property but I never heard or saw anyone my entire stay. While it's not in the city center, it's location was in a neat part of town near lots of great food and cafes. I enjoyed the nice and quiet morning walk about 3 blocks to get some coffee to start my day. If I visit Edinburgh again, I would definitely check to see if this place was available!

While it wasn't an issue for me, I did need to carry my luggage up three flights of stairs on my own. I could see this being an issue for someone with mobility issues, but I imagine if you reached out to the owners they'd be willing to help! They clearly care about their property and service, so I'm sure they'd help. The bathroom was a tad small, but it didn't cause any issues.

It was a clean comfortable room for a one night stay in Edinburgh. We were there for a band playing at the Usher Hall and it was near to get too. The next day we went the weatherspoons next to Usher Hall for breakfast.

We had taken the bus through from Glasgow and got off at the bus station at St James Quarter. It was quite a distance to walk to The Residence from there I found it a trek but I use a walking stick my husband and daughter not too bad.

We had a pleasant stay in a clean room with a convenient bus stop to the city centre very close by. You can also walk to the city centre (about 20 minutes). The room, although small, had everything we needed. We booked room number 7 which is a little more private and has its own bathroom (would definitely recommend).

The room’s temperature was a bit hard to control. Perhaps it’s just because of the size of the room, but putting the heater between 0 and 1 already made the room extremely hot. So the only other option was to turn it off completely (not ideal in freezing mid-January). Because of this, the size of the room and the carpeted floors, the room feels a bit stuffy, although it didn’t seem dusty to us. The water pressure wasn’t great either.

Amazing place to stay a few days in Edinburgh. Amazing location, the rooms where nice and there was some breakfast items included like coffee and tea. There’s also a microwave and boiling water machine. To enter the property you receive a key code, so there is no check in like in normal hotels.

The rooms were a bit old and the decoration could be better. However, taking into account the price per night this are only small topics that the management could consider to improve in the future and make the stays even better.

Check-in was a breeze, and we were immediately struck by the beautiful high ceilings that gave the space a grand, Victorian feel. The hotel had a lot of character and charm. During our stay, we accidentally left behind a pair of earbuds, and the staff went above and beyond by mailing them back to us. Their kindness and attention to detail really stood out. Would definitely stay here again!
