Hapimag Resort Edinburgh

This hotel suited our needs perfectly. During our 3 nights/4 days visit to Edinburgh we felt at home. The room, or should I say the apartment, was very large. Practical furnishings, plenty of storage space, stylishly furnished rooms and a great view. There were also a Nespresso machine, a microwave and many kitchen utensils. We had a Grand Suite with a perfect view towards north, ie. Dean Village and the Britannia. The fact that there is no restaurant in the house was not a problem for us. We bought a few things, put them in the fridge and had our perfect breakfast in the morning, just like at home. The location is good and it is only 5 minutes (320m) to the Drumsheugh Place bus stop which has 12 different bus routes going everywhere.

Very large room and bathroom, tastefully decorated and it definitely feels like a treat to stay there. We got a good deal on our room where it was similarly priced as a standard hotel, even though we were downstairs. The room is well equipped with kettle, microwave, minifridge, desk, and had everything needed. There’s an honesty shop upstairs where you can get snack and drinks and they’re very reasonably priced.

The hotel exceeded my expectations! Everything from the location to the view from the window! Located in a calm area, very close to the tram/bus stops, walking distance to pubs/restaurants. The building is in an old mansion (very cozy feeling) The staff was very nice and helpful. We stayed in a room on the ground floor with a view on the Dean Village - which was amazing (though there are other rooms on lower levels with a view on the sidewalk wall - so ask for higher levels). The room was super spacious, comfortable, had all you can ask for a short stay (incl a microwave, cutlery, kettle, coffee machine etc). The bathroom was gigantic (a bathtub, a shower, old school fixtures/fittings). I wish I could stay longer!!!

About 10mins walk from the Castle in mainly a residential area. Huge Georgian house with great accommodation and rooms. Doesn’t have full hotel facilities (eg restaurant for breakfast/ dinner) but they do have a well stocked ‘honesty’ bar. Also a very good cafe nearby for breakfast. Make sure you wander down to Dean and the Waters of Leith. Nice walk along the river for about 3miles out and back.

Lays in a quiet street near Haymarket. Large room with an even larger bathroom. seating opportunity in my room: sofa plus chairs. Great view over the Dean Village, across the Dean Bridge. Wonderful for a short stroll in the morning. All members of staff I met were extremly friendly and great hosts.
