So we were "upgraded" to an "apartment" which I guess was nice because it was bigger than our original booking. However, it is to be noted that they have STEPS. Lots and in US standard definitely not up to code, smaller and steep so it sucks if you have large heavy luggage.The rooms were fairly clean a few spots in the bathroom had rust. Water pressure was fine. Bed and linens were clean too. No bed bugs. ON TO the bed... It was two twin beds pushed together. Which was only a slight inconvenience. Probably perfect if you are Jewish and it's that time of the month. I would stay here again if I did not have heavy luggage or could get a room that didn't have as many steps. Otherwise I would probably stay somewhere else. Nothing wrong with the place but I just feel like they are slightly missing the mark.

The Cairn Hotel is a wonderful place, very comfortable and quiet. The rooms were squeaky clean. The staff is super polite and kind. I felt very welcome during my stay, and slept very soundly. Highly recommended.

Room was on top floor up steep spiral stairs. Rather trecherous for four seniors carrying luggage. We were unaware of this at booking. Staff was responsive and allowed us early check in, which was much aopreciated.

Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. We stayed in a gorgeous room which was spotless. It was a large room, far bigger than we thought. Staff were lovely and very knowledgeable/helpful. The atmosphere in the hotel was fabulous, they made us feel very welcome!

Nice room, but expensive.
The room rate for the Cairn was very steep. I would not book it again without better researching the offerings in the area. The bathroom was the cleanest one i have ever seen. No elevator onsite. They seem to be in the midst of a renovation as there was a fresh paint smell everywhere.

I spent two days at the Cairn and found it had everything needed. it’s in a great location within easy walking to lots of places to eat. The room was comfortable, clean, quiet, the bed and bedding wonderful. I walked to the Royal mile, train station, Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Palace but lots of transportation options from there .

This was a charming place to stay! Loved our room, the little touches of detail that were so thoughtful ie complimentary snacks & parting treat. Heated towel warmer was really nice & the excellent shower. Everything was very clean and we felt the location was ideal, quick walk for us (we are good walkers) to all the sites. We did not have the breakfast offer so cannot comment on that (That room was full each morning tho) Overall, loved our stay and would return without hesitation.

Great for our needs. We were a group of couples visiting from Canada (having attended a wedding in the highlands earlier). The apartment had tons of room and a washing machine with drying rack. Fans in the units as well. The booking was a bit odd in that, once completed online, it states that you have only 'one room' when you infact have booked an entire apartment. For the price, you cant beat this unit for multiple guests. Walking to anything you want (including the mile) and for less mobile folks the bus stop for the tours was very close.

Room was quite small with no fridge. You have to go to the front desk each time you need ice. Not good for older people. No lift/elevator. It requires a card for the electricity to remain on. We were on the main floor and the window would not lock properly. We stayed 2 nights and the complimentary water, snacks, etc. was only for 1 night. We had to pay extra for additional bottled water. Parking was difficult to access and was extremely expensive, which should have been included with our stay. I would not recommend this hotel.
