Traquair Holidays

I was a solo traveler visiting Edinburgh for the first time- I had originally booked a hotel on Victoria street but switched to the Horton for a more price convienent option. I’m very happy I did- I was only about a 10 minute walk from Victoria street and it was nice to not wake up right in the middle of all the tourists. I called the hotel ahead of time and explained I was a solo traveler so requested not to put me on a ground floor. They were very accommodating putting me on a second floor in a very quiet location. the staff were friendly, and accomodating, the food was great, the hotel was clean and well kept. I just booked my second stay at the Hoxton Edinburgh and I can’t wait to return :)

Best location for walking around Edinburg stag is so friendly and helpful Rooms are newly renovated, spacious and comfortable Highly recommended

I liked everything about this hotel especially the location. The staff was great and the rooms were nice. I would highly recommend this property.

Nice modern hotel. We stayed in a castle view room. Friendly, helpful staff. Terrace, I imagine, would be lovely if the weather was warm and dry. Great location for Grassmarket and only a 10 minute walk to the Christmas market. Only issue was the nightclub next door that was playing LOUD music on Friday and Saturday night until 5am!! Made it difficult to sleep both night. Sunday was very peaceful though.

Pros: I came to Edinburgh for the week of Halloween and found this place to be a really lovely hotel in an old Georgian-style building with beautiful architecture. What sold me on it were the gorgeous library and the full breakfast included in the price. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood near Dean Village, about a 20-minute walk into the city center or a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest bus or tram stop. I had an awesome view of the castle from my room's window. Staff were very kind and attentive and offered to carry my bag up for me when the lift was broken, which was a life saver! Cons: Aside from the lift, my only other disappointment was that the full breakfast (ordered from a menu) was only offered for the first few days of my 9-night stay, so I was only able to get the full Scottish breakfast a couple of times before they switched to a regular continental breakfast for the remainder of my time there. Cleaning staff also left someone else's used mug on my nightstand in my room once, which startled me a little since I was staying there alone. I believe they may have been short-staffed due to staff illness, so maybe these things couldn't be helped and are a one-off. Overall, I enjoyed my time staying there!
