We originally booked a standard hotel room, but to our surprise and delight, we were upgraded to a luxurious apartment upon arrival. It was the perfect welcome after a long journey, and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. The staff were consistently kind and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The daily housekeeping was also impeccable. The hotel’s location is another major plus—it’s very close to the city center, so we were able to explore everything on foot. We didn’t even need to use public transport once during our stay. One of the absolute highlights was the breakfast at The Huxley, which partners with the hotel. Each morning we were treated to an incredibly delicious and generous breakfast—it was so satisfying that we didn’t need anything else until dinner.

I can't really add here anything.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment and it was GORGEOUS. High ceilings, decadent decor, and great facilities. A single curving flight of stairs to get to the apartment but the staff brought our bags up for us so not really a bother! Great restaurant for breakfast on the corner and the architecture of the building was STUNNING. Lots of shops, restaurants and bars nearby.

Maybe a little far away from the Royal Mile if that's where your stay is focused, it's a bit tricky to walk there if you're not super fit as you have to go around the Castle (but oh, the Castle!)

The staff were excellent and recognised us each time we went to reception. The rooms were very spacious, location fantastic and the apartment block itself very beautiful. Kitchen was very high spec and beds very comfortable

As I own a B&B I am aware of how to do things well with this kind of provision. All was excellent although I would suggest you need to have maintenance go round once a month touching up the walls as properties like this can get scuffed walls - it looked like it hadn't been done for some time. Also there's a largeish crack in the second bedroom that you'd want to know about. I didn't love some of the furniture and think genuinely old furniture would be better than the metal dressing table and the rope mirror for example. I am fussy tho!! Also the bin didn't work. Needs changing as everything else was such incredibly high quality in the kitchen (which I LOVED!).

If you are trying to choose where to stay in Edinburgh do yourself a favour and book the Rutland hotel. If you arrive by plane take the tram which stops around the corner from The Rutland a mere 5 min walk. When you exit the hotel you are looking at the spectacular view of the castle and are in an excellent location from which to tour the city. The staff are fantastic. Welcoming, friendly, helpful , informative, they are wonderful. We have to say a huge thanks to everyone at the Rutland as we were upgraded to a 1 bed apartment which was simply stunning. Every comfort that you could think of , warm , spacious, extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean, fantastic mini bar, luxurious bathroom amenities. Breakfast at the Huxley was delicious.There was a great menu and the huge windows allow for a great view of city life. We had a wonderful stay and could not recommend the Rutland hotel highly enough.

The Rutland Hotel exceeded my every expectation. We choose the apartment style accommodations for my sister, two nieces and myself. The apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated. It was in an ideal location and we were able to walk to all the highlights. Our flight was delayed and we arrive at the hotel at 9:45 PM tired and hungry. The staff member who checked us in recommended the restaurant next store. He showed us to our apartment. We look a minute to freshen up and when we entered the restaurant he was waiting for us with a reserved table. Such service! My only regret was that we weren't able to spend more time in our accommodations.

We feel like lottery winners after having had the most incredible experience at The Rutland. We were joyfully greeted by the amazing Charlotte on our arrival and were informed we had been upgraded. This isn’t something we’ve ever had before and we were delighted. Charlotte upgraded us to one of their best luxury apartments for the weekend. She walked us just up the road and showed us into the apartment. I was speechless. This was the most luxurious, gorgeous and huge apartment I’ve ever stayed in. Every detail was so carefully chosen, the decor, the amenities, the linens. We could have lived there happily! We have no idea how we got so lucky to receive such an upgrade but we are truly grateful and can see why an apartment like that would make a longer stay in Edinburgh so fantastic. We hope to return again and book this incredible apartment. Charlotte was also able to recommend the hotel’s restaurant and an underground ‘speakeasy’ style bar nearby. So after seeing a show at the Usher Hall (just a stones throw from the hotel and apartments) we went for a drink in Heads And Tales - it was a fantastic underground bar with fab staff too, so a great recommendation - thank you! Back to our apartment- The enormous bed and heavy, black-out curtains provided the most excellent deep sleep. So much so, we woke up only 15 minutes before our checkout time! Totally worth it for the best sleep of my life. We were thrilled to see Charlotte at reception again for our check out, to be able to express our gratitude for her kindness and warmth of our truly incredible experience. Thank you so much for the best weekend, we hope to revisit again soon!

I have stayed here many times over the years and the newly refurbished rooms are beautiful and attention to detail is exceptional Will return time and time again For those who don't know Edinburgh this is as good a location that you can get

Hotel location is excellent given the close proximity of it to everything along with it being situated on a major transportation route (both buses and trams). Room was nicely furnished and well-appointed and several of the rooms proffer great views of the circumjacent area. The bathroom was large, sleek, modern and well-equipped.

Upper hotel rooms (on top floor) are not accessible by elevator. You must use a flight of stairs to get to the top floor (from the floor below). This means that if you have heavy suitcases, it can be somewhat difficult to tote baggage to that level. Also, if you are disabled, then the rooms on the top floor may not be appropriate. The breakfast fare tasted good, but menu was limited and a tad funky.

We are just home from 3 nights, we stayed in number 15 apartment 1. We arrived early for check in prepared to leave our bags but an apartment for ready so the lovely Jill at reception showed us where to go and oh my goodness we were over the moon with the apartment. The decor is very quirky but so nice, we absolutely loved everything about it, the apartment was well equipped cleaned everyday we asked for an extra duvet as I found the sofa in bedroom nice and comfy so let my friend have the bed to herself and it was there by time we came back from some shopping. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to be back really soon. Thank u for a fabulous stay Rutland

Very comfortable room with good bathroom and comfortable bed. The staff were all extremely friendly and remarkably helpful with great advice. The Kyloe Restaurant is fantastic with a remarkably good wine list - worth at least one visit.

The Huxley, excluding breakfast, was comparatively disappointing when it came to having a casual drink. It was a bit impersonal and the choice of beer was poor. What about a few good local beers on tap or even some local guest beers? Clientelle in the afternoon was largely young, maybe not the place for us oldies.
