Short term stays in Edinburgh

“The appartment was beautiful! Very bright and spacious. The location was really close to the old town and main attractions. We didn’t even use the bus, it was like 20 min walking distance. Definitely recommend!”

“Excellent reception! Although we arrived early, they welcomed us warmly and prepared the rooms for us. They even upgraded our room, which was a wonderful surprise. The hotel’s location is truly fantastic, and all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. A special thanks to the young lady who received us — her hospitality was outstanding. Fahad & Maha”

“Ive stayed at these apartment quite a few times now . The first time i stayed i had a little trouble with a broken balcony door and problems with the hot water. The apartment was great , spacious, clean,modern and the bed was extremely comfortable. The staff apologized for the trouble i had my first stay and gave us a free nights stay on our next booking. I have been back to these apartments a few times since and haven't had any problems at all . The staff are friendly and helpful . There is restaurants and bars close by . An asda within 10 mins walk. The price is very reasonable and you get a discount if you book direct. I intend to stay at the apartments again for our next little city break overall great apartment and great staff .”

“Very comfortable neat and clean”

“It was a great location, within 10 minute walk of either attractions or the bus but set back so not particularly noisy. It was clean, beds were comfy, plenty of hot water, shower was powerful. Kitchenette was brilliant as we could self cater, we didn't realise there was a washer/dryer in there too (also wash powder there) . We could have done with a few extra pieces of kitchen equipment and softer pillows but they are minor gripes. We will definitely be staying again.”

“Great location for a great price. Very conveniently close to a lot of monuments - can walk to a lot of shops, cafes, restaurants and sights within 20min. Yes, the sound proofing could be a bit better, but I've noticed that it's a common flaw in most Scottish buildings. We were a party of 4 and the apartment we stayed at was very accommodating. Didn't interact with any staff but it was easy to move around and check in/out on your own. Yes, the elevator can only hold two people w/ two bags, but what do you expect with smaller/older apartments. The macerator feature was interesting but we understand the usage, though yes, the sound can be surprising (especially for people new to it). Overall, a solid stay - would stay at again!”

“The team at Visa Go provided exceptional support throughout the visa application process. They offered clear, timely guidance and professional expertise that made a complex process easily manageable. Sue, our case officer was very efficient and a pleasure to work with every step of the way. I would highly recommend their services for anyone needing migration assistance.”

“**An Unforgettable Stay – Simply Outstanding!** Our stay at this hotel was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and genuine hospitality that we immediately felt at home. The room was absolutely stunning – beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, and offering an unforgettable view of the cathedral that took our breath away. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, and the level of cleanliness was truly exceptional. The breakfast was a real highlight – delicious, fresh, and with a wide variety that left nothing to be desired. But what made our stay truly extraordinary was Paul and his amazing team. Their hospitality goes far beyond what one would expect – they anticipated our every need, made us feel truly special, and delivered a level of service we have never experienced before. Their passion, professionalism, and care are unmatched. This hotel is, without a doubt, *the place to be*. We cannot recommend it highly enough and are already looking forward to our next visit. A heartfelt thank you to Paul and the entire team – you made our stay unforgettable!”

“Beautiful apartment and an incredible location! We also couldn't believe how well equipped the apartment was, especially the kitchenware. All the staff both leading up to the stay and in the office where we kept the luggage were extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay again if we can.”

“A fantastic place if you ever wanna visit Edinburgh, great value for money, clean, modern, walking distance to many places.”

“The hotel is closer to the train station that you can have many transportation options to do the sightseeing. A clean and comfortable room with all cooking equipment you need to cook meals. I am high recommend this hotel to everyone except who needs a wheelchair. It is because the lift is located at 1/F.”

“Stayed at The Queens for a night as a birthday present for my partner. The venue is beautiful inside and out, very tastefully decorated with modern and vintage touches throughout. Our room was spacious and the bed was soooooooo comfy! Angela and Judith were both so accommodating, as soon as we arrived they showed us the tea station just outside the dining room where you could help yourself to a vast selection of beautiful teas and provided milk for us to have a cuppa in our room. Water and glasses were waiting on arrival with shortbread and chocolates at the ready too (also lovely bowl of fresh fruit at the tea station) Breakfast was amazing and the table was set so beautifully with everything you could have thought of - even a bowl of juicy ripe cherries! The location is just perfect, it's right between Port Edgar Marina (where there are a few eateries and shops) and the main town. Would love to come back here for a stay when we are back in South Queensferry again and would 100% recommend booking a room here if you are in the area.”

“This hotel is one of the best hotels I've been in all my vacations. Great staff during check in, daily housekeeping and refilling of items. Hotel room is inside a building with lots of character inside and outside. Rooms have a very nice scent when you walk in. Everything inside the room is very detailed and high end. Counter top stove and oven uses Siemen. Vanity lights are made in England and match the room very nicely. Light switches are from ABB which I've never seen before. Walls have wainscoting, and some walls have exposed brick/stone which complements the room very nicely. Walls of the room had a very nice shade of green, very very nice. Fully stocked kitchen (they included UK milk, which was very nice). Pots, pans, utensils all were all included. Nepresso Coffee machine was very nice. All bedrooms had an ensuite, with the master bedroom having a bath tub. Shampoo, conditioner, body soup, lotion were all high end Made in Scotland brands. Bed mattresses were thick and comfy. Everything was very clean. Living rooms had lots of windows facing the sun. Lots of couches and chairs. Windows had nice window seatings.”

“A hidden gem in a place to stay while in Edinburgh.”

“It’s so easy to stay in a generic location at this price, a faceless chain where the experience meets the same stamped-out expectations gained elsewhere. Spend about the same and it’s possible to stay somewhere different and, in the case of Porteous’ Studio, it’s supporting the creative talent of two young architects. Keen to experience work which has had a lot of critical acclaim, a stay for a couple of nights enabled me to enjoy at first hand the care and detail. Carefully sourced and hand-crafted furniture and detail make this stand out from the crowd. Perfectly sized for a few days away, located very centrally off the Grassmarket, the studio was somehow a combination of welcoming and spartan at the same time. There’s no TV and little in the way of other home comforts but that’s missing the point entirely. A quiet retreat in the middle of a city is a clever thing indeed.”

“We arrived at the torfin earlier than expected and the owner lindsey was so accommodating, the check in was smooth and seamless. The room is very stylish and cozy, but the best part was the soothing, most relaxing and roomy rainfall shower!! We ate dinner at the restaurant here, the croquettes and corn ribs are to die for we ordered 3 rounds. The fish and chips and pan seared sea bass was delicious! Katie our server made sure to check on us and provided great service! Delicious food, friendly staff, totally recommend!”

“Highly recommended this place ,our two boys loved it . First time they had ever been in a cattery . They came home happy little kitty's. We have already booked another stay for them”

“Beautiful holiday let . Can't recommend it enough”

“Beautifully appointed stylish cottage with exceptional amenities. Warm , cosy , homey with everything we could possibly want . Thanks Alexis for providing such a wonderful place … a home away from home”

“Very clean and tidy was an ideal location for our needs while visiting family and friends”

“Fabulous apartment, great location, spotlessly clean. Thanks to Marc for his help. March 2025 update - another great stay at QSA. Marc went out of his way to get me into the apartment earlier than check in time which was much appreciated. Apartment 19/13 is amazing and my favorite to date. Has everything you will ever need. Wish I was staying longer….will definitely be back and wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else in Edinburgh.”
