"Staff were extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the local area. Many fantastic bar and restaurant recommendations made and also places to visit that were not frequented by tourists. The public areas in the hotel were kept clean and the room we had (607) was spotless and extremely comfortable. Just what we needed to help us recharge."

"What a great place to stay in Edinburgh! It's in a good location and minutes walking distance from the Royal Mile. The flat was modern, clean and spacious. There's no staff onsite but they sent me the access code and instructions in advance. I like that there's also a reception area on the ground floor where we could use before or after check in/out. "

"Loved Edinburgh of course, Chisholm Hunter Suites are excellent, would have been good to spend a lazy day inside but too much to do and see. Couldn't get a late check-out which would have been very helpful, but had luggage storage at the office nearby, and light rail to airport just outside."

"Cosy 2-bedroom apartment. Clean and well equipped with kitchenette, washer and dryer. Good for family stay. About 8 mins walk to St James Quarter where the parking is. Entry to the apartment building is in a back alley. While it’s well lit, the occasional noise from the garbage bins can be disturbing in the night. Overall, still good."

"Great stay for visit to the Playhouse. Walking distance from Waverly station, to St James Quarter and Playhouse. Best location for what we we had planned. Floor 0 takes you to Waverly station avoiding all the traffic lights and longer walk to station. Staff lovely, rooms beautiful. "

5/5 Excellent

"Excellent value for location and amenities. About a 10 min walk from Waverley and key sites, nestled between Castle and university yet still quiet at night (I would enthusiastically recommend for families visiting the university). Room was large and had both a bath and a separate shower, as well as a fridge and kettle. Decor was fresh, good quality bedding. Pool and sauna are at larger sister hotel, but gaining access was straightforward. Reception and housekeeping staff at both hotels were absolutely lovely."
