    Beautiful house, great location

    Nine friends from London/Kent/Essex in Edinburgh for a few days to celebrate some milestone birthdays. So impressed with this beautiful house, and it was perfect for our needs. Also a great location, we were able to walk to Arthur's Seat in about 15 mins. Cheap Ubers in and out of the main centre for our nightly escapades.

    Top Hat House Stay

    We absolutely loved our stay at Top Hat House. We came to Edinburgh to visit our daughter who is getting her masters at the University of Edinburgh and decided to have a large family/friends holiday at the same time. The house was well equipped and easily accommodated 8 adults comfortably. The location was convenient and an easy walk to most tourist sites. There is no shortage of good restaurants nearby and the kitchen was well enough equipped for a large roast dinner we cooked one evening. Could use a few more paper products like paper towels and napkins but that really is nitpicking. Highly recommend!

    This is a great property: lots of space, great kitchen and a very good location under Carlton Hill. We were also impressed that when we raised a maintenance issue with the owner it was dealt with that day.

    Beautiful place in Edinburgh that easily accommodated our large group. So nice to have individual suites with attached bathrooms too! Very nice modern accommodations, but there are some repairs and TLC needed from a maintenance perspective - broken blinds in a few rooms, plugged shower drain in one bathroom, also some essentials need to be restocked - ran out of trash bags, the nspresso pods provided don’t fit the non nspresso machine, no basic spices (salt, pepper), we didn’t get a welcome gift in the refrigerator as promised… some little things like that that could be better from an experience perspective. Also communication with host fell off completely during our stay, previous to that was good, so not sure what happened there. Otherwise, it was a wonderful place! Would stay again

    Beautiful House

    Beautiful house and well stocked. It worked great for our family of 5 couples with 2 exceptions. The owner would not accommodate us storing our luggage at the house at 2:00 on our arrival day. She told us to store it at the train station…which cost us 180 pounds! When we did get let into the house we found tape across one of the showers and it was unusable because they had it regrouted… We were told not to use it. One of the couples had to use a shower in another couples’s bedroom. There was not compensation offered. ( did get a small discount after I asked ) I am still not sure why they wouldn’t let us drop our luggage…the house is huge and it would not have been in the way… they clearly had workers in the house and it would not have affected another guest. we could have stored our luggage there for 2 hours. Bottom line … owner not accommodating but expects guest to accommodate their needs of repairs etc…
