Tourist attraction in Edinburgh

“Ask for Lewis Shand and you'll be satisfied with the service. You will be greeted with a friendly face and feel welcomed. Great service with excellent listener and extreme patience for your opinion. +++Recommended+++.”

“Our team had a really lovely time! While we were in town we did all six rooms, Ritual, Machina, and Alcatraz were our favorites. The other three were also very enjoyable. The team of game masters we had, Cameron, DJ, Noel, David, Stephan, Rebecca, Eve, Lillie, Bob, and Alex were very kind and helpful. One day they even made us tea while we waited for the room. Each game master set up the back story for us (always choose the backstory! It sets the mood for the room in a fun and interactive way). After each session they offered us great props and a little photo shoot which was fun and goofy. The puzzles come in a variety of ways and follow the theme of the rooms. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely come back for any new rooms!”

“I love this shop. They have all of the essentials with none of the waste. Lovely helpful people in store. Plus some tasty treats (I see you Belgian chocolate buttons). The click & collect system works really well during lockdown - simply emailed my order, paid online and it was ready for me in-store.”

“For the last four years, I have received the highest standard of service from the 1Let team, who have managed the rental of my one bed flat. They have been exceptional. Professional, responsive, helpful and approachable by email and over the phone. I chose to let my flat with 1Let because of the commitment they expressed to providing top quality service for both landlords and tenants, and they have more than lived up to this. Having now sold my flat, it is time to say goodbye but I will gladly recommend 1Let to anyone looking to rent out a property in Edinburgh.”

“I had a great experience at Xtreme karting. Very well organized, great equipment and friendly experienced staff. Track is very good across 2 levels. Had a blast.”

“I've had it in my mind to buy a shetland jumper for years now, and the opportunity seemed right when I was in Scotland for my honeymoon. Cannot speak highly enough of the products on offer at Dick's, but the people in the shop were tremendous. The woman who helped me was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. When I said I needed to think about making a big purchase, she was very understanding. I returned to buy it the next day, and we were greeted very warmly. I highly recommend this store to anyone who likes quality menswear. Thanks for making my trip complete.”

“Went last year and loved it soo much had to make another trip to Edinburgh to see them (any excuse really!) . One of best light shows seen. Well done all, must take a lot of work!”

“Beautiful just to walk through. Must be amazing to study here too!”

“Absolutely adore my engagement ring which was designed and handmade at Clarksons of Edinburgh. We will be returning very soon for our wedding rings also. My fiancé had an amazing experience here purchasing my engagement ring and we wouldn't go anywhere else for our wedding rings.”

“One of the top University in the world and in UK.”

“The Doghouse in Edinburgh never disappoints. Brilliant rooftop bar with a great atmosphere! Tasty menu, good beers, and super friendly staff. Highly recommend!”

“Very polite staff. Beautiful location Beautiful building”

“Inspiring place to go to see the landscape and take photographs, including 'selfies'.. and get your bearings if you forget to take a map of the zoo.”

“On a recent visit to Edinburgh we ran in to a medical issue and needed urgent medication. Jill, Giovanna and Achilles went out of their way to ensure my wife got the medication she needed that day, with Achilles running to another pharmacy to get a partial prescription until the full prescription could be delivered the next day. Great pharmacy with excellent staff!”

“Couldn't recommend this place enough!! Such a cool and unique concept. Staff was so friendly and helpful helping you the moment you walk through the door to checking up on you! Food was 10/10 will most definitely be back! And dog friendly ✨”

“As a women, I highly recommend this place! I have never felt uncomfortable and often come by myself to work. Great vibe, best shisha in Scotland, the staff are very friendly and always welcoming, food /desserts are always spot on and the service is excellent. The owner always makes sure you get a good experience. Great place for a night out or to sit and crack on with some work or even to watch the boxing or footy. The ambience is even better since the recent refurbishment! The staff here are really welcoming and look after me. I note that the shisha boys Asif, Daniyal, Sameer and Hammad always keep note of customers shisha preferences and will make their shishas accordingly to their taste using the specific quantity of flavours which makes for a unique experience. I have been in Glasgow for the day and will still come through to Edinburgh Urban Lounge for this very reason as the boys know what I like. Similar, I look forward to coming back to Urban Edinburgh for a shisha when I've been down south. Coal changes are prompt, head changes are prompt, service is impeccable. The front of house staff, Jatin, Amal and Fatima are fabulous! Very caring and attentive in their approach. They know regular customer's orders, will always fo rounds to check if customers need anything and clean up as they do. Their food is on point and comforting.”

“Friendliest Cosyiest in Auld Reekie - Edinburgh We recall with emotion the year 1965 when our Founder and Group Chairman Emeritus together with three Scottish friends got together in the very George Hotel in order to found our Catalyst ThinkTank. What was then a vision and mission of unattached independent liberal minds is today a success story throughout the world. The George Hotel is also amongst us welcoming and obliging more than ever particularly during these trying times for all. A vibrant Vote of Thanks indeed, to everyone ever so welcoming, courteous, supportive and always obliging to our members, colleagues and friends from all over the world when in Auld Reekie at the George. From breakfast to dinner all is destined to please and is excelling. Whenever we entertain friends, guests or colleagues the warm, friendly courteous and obliging members of staff nowadays are ever so wonderful. Bless your Hearts.! Very much Commended.”

“Really tasty and great options. Staff were friendly, welcoming and informative. Good pricing, especially for the location. Fries are extra but I would suggest sharing between two as portions are quite large. No need to book as quite a large space and walk-in was available, however you can book if you want to ensure a table.”

“Kitty, an Irish pub, is a fantastic spot that's both cozy and lively. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a pint. Live music is a big highlight here. It really adds to the vibrant, authentic Irish pub feel. The place is also full of character, with lots of small nooks and crannies for more private, quiet chats with friends. If you're looking for a comfortable, genuine pub experience with great music and a bit of a hideaway feel, Kitty is definitely the place to go.”

“Absolutely deserves 5 stars! I went with my 13 year old brother and it ended up being the most fun activity we did in Edinburgh. We didn’t know what to expect, but the actors were brilliant and really made the experience. Each room was superbly decorated, it felt like stepping onto a movie set. Plenty of laughs with a few great jump scares too. Highly recommend!”

“Absolutely great tour - me and my 2 teenage boys loved it! We had John Kincaid and he was brilliant. A great mix of entertaining and knowledgeable. 100% recommended”

“Was last at this establishment 4 years ago. Booked a bigger room, located on the 5th floor, was very quiet and peaceful, the room had a reasonable view over the rooftops. Largely the room was fine, however small matters like the curling wallpaper and stained carpets tainted our overall experience. On a positive note the bed and bathroom were excellent and we had a good and peaceful sleep each night. Continental breakfast which cost £6pp, was good value and set is up for the day ahead. Brilliant location, very central for transport, shops and eateries.”

“This is an excellent hotel for the price. As soon as we arrived, we were well greeted and given tourist information about the area. The rooms were clean, breakfast was tasty and the price was reasonable for the area. The only negative is the free wifi was terrible or purposely throttled as the hotel wanted guests to pay for the premium wifi. Regardless of the slow internet, we would come back to this hotel on our next stay in Edinburgh.”

“Staying at Malmaison was a great experience. Arriving from a red eye at 6:30am, we weren't expecting to be able to get into a room until later that afternoon but they were able to upgrade us when we arrived for only £20! The room was spacious and modern with a moody flair. Would definitely recommend the stay there.”

“Absolutely perfect city centre location, a stones throw from Edinburgh Waverly Station. The rooms are an excellent size compared to some hotels in the city centre for a competitive price. Very clean room and a nice lounge bar area”

“LOVE THIS HOTEL! You walk inside and in but a moment you've entered this beautiful, modern oasis...your new home away from home...in one of the world's most extraordinary cities!! The reception desk staff are some of the most gracious and patient people I've had the pleasure to meet and interact with... They set the mood beautifully. My room was on the front side of the hotel and from my modern room the ancient building across the way was a perfect "opposites attract" kind of moment! Everything about my room was quirky, fun, hip, and most comfortable and quiet!! The giant shower was equally decadent and soothing all at the same time! My giant bed was sooooo equally comfortable and soothing after long days of walking all over Edinburgh.... Just saying! The breakfast buffet in the very nice dining room was quite delicious and full of choices that should appeal to even picky eaters. The staff aim to make everyone happy and I think they succeed beautifully! The neighborhood is quirky and the hotel is just around the corner and a short walk from Edinburgh Castle! I highly recommend this well-appointed modern hotel and the great team of personnel who all make it tick with great ease and excellence! Bravo!!”

“Visited recently with family for lunch - we really enjoyed the high quality food with new pizzas added for the winter menu. Staff were very friendly and attentive and we were sat at a table straight away. Will definitely be back again soon!”

“The BEST lasagna I have ever had—hands down! This restaurant is small, cozy, and serves absolutely incredible Italian food. Every dish we ordered was outstanding, full of rich flavors and authentic taste. A special shoutout to our server, Alessandra, who was truly one of the sweetest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Her warmth and kindness made the experience even better. If you're visiting Edinburgh, do yourself a favor and don’t skip out on a meal here. Whether it’s lunch or dinner, you’re in for a delicious treat!”
