We were greeted by the friendly staff and given a tour of our apartment. Their was nothing they had not thought of. The apartment was comfortable and inviting. The staff had even gone grocery shopping and had stocked our refrigerator with milk, juice, butter. And provided a basket filled with cereals and a loaf of bread as well as coffee, tea and sugar. Kevin and Christopher are fabulous, they are their to help in any way they can. Whether you need a cab or advice on what to see or do during your stay in Edinburgh they are their to help. The Apartment is immaculent and modern. The beds comfy. Our stay here was perfect!

Short drive from hotel
Visit the Roseleaf bar/cafe. This is a comfortable little pub. Very authentic. We had been told they have amazing desserts. When we arrived it was quite late and they had stopped serving food. When the barmaid heard we had made a special trip by taxi because we had heard about their wonderful deserts, she asked the cook if he could prepare something for us. And he did! And yes it was fantastic! Many different types of tea to choose from as well as some interesting cocktails.

Home away from home
A good place to come home to after a day of sight seeing. The staff was always helpful and polite. You'll never want to stay in a regular hotel again. The location was good and taxis to the train and bus stations were reasonable.

"Two Thin Laddies" at 103 High Riggs has a great breakfast Scotland or the US. The concierge will point you in the right direction. The pubs in Grass Market are fun and only 3 short blocks away.

Location and comfort
Walked to the Castle and to the fun Grassmarket area. My sister and I loved having tea and breakfast in our own comfy apartment. Off street parking and helpful staff were great amenities, too.

Great location, helpful staff and perfect place to hangout
It's not your run of the mill hotel atmosphere (no pool) but we had 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. There was a washer/dryer and a full kitchen in the unit along with a living room. It was clean and convenient with a helpful staff. I would certainly stay there again in the future.

Old Town Edinburgh Scotland
We were greeted by a friendly staff, [...] the duty manager walked us up to our room and pointed out the features. We arrived in Edinburgh after traveling around Europe for eight days and believe me it was great having a washer and dryer the the apartment. Our apartment was spacious and well appointed. On the kitchen counter we found a welcome gift of milk, bread, cereal, coffee and tea etc. [...] also supplied us with travel books and great advise on pubs and food near the hotel.

Perfect
It was like staying at home with someone wonderful to take care of everything for you. A completely furnished, beautiful and very comfortable apartment with every amenity and an unbelievable helpful staff. Central location, walking distance from The Grass Market, which has at least 8 recommended restaurants. They also have a high commitment to green policies. I loved this place. I didnt want to leave

I would stay there again!
This was our second trip to Edinburgh and Knight Residence was absolutly the best choice. We were here visiting our son who is attending the University of Edinburgh and it was just like being at home! I, as a mom, was able to cook some of his favorite meals that he misses with the fully equipped kitchen. I can't say enough about how helpful the staff and the maid service was to us. I would definately recommend this wonderful place to anyone!

Your home away from home!!
The Knight Residence was fantastic! the apartment was very comfortable with everything your may need and much more--it was really like being in our own home. The duty managers, [...], were excellent in giving us good advice and recommendations and their overall customer service was outstanding! My husband and I recommend this apart hotel to everyone. It was like being in our own home, but with the service of a 5-star hotel.
