10/10 Exceptional

Very nice hotel. Good location.
Vincent, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely, Little Hotel in a quiet area

The cairn is in a very quiet neighborhood and it's a lovely little place. There is no elevator, so that's important for folks with mobility issues.
Julia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place. Like everywhere in Edinburgh, you pay quite a bit for what you get, but the room was nice and the staff were great.
John, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Anthony, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, walking distance to the Royal Mile Plenty of options for meals The room was nice but very small. Parking limited for the size of the hotel Our bathroom had a smell of stale cigarette
Catherine, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Only used room as not in main hotel but across way in apartments. Main bedroom bigger than expected but bathroom very cramped with how close toilet to shower
MR S A, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Tiny rooms, thin walls, but a great place to just get a little sleep before heading to the airport. I would not want to stay in this place for more than one night.
Eric, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The two-bedroom apartment was wonderful! Comfortable beds, nice and clean, and a beautiful view onto a quiet neighborhood but still within easy walking distance to everything you’d need in Edinburgh. It’s a great place to stay with very friendly staff.
Renee, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Large room & Pleasant Staff

The room was large and updated. The check in and out processes were smooth and staff was pleasant. It was walking distance to restaurants and we’d recommend Edinburgh Street Food. We’d stay here again.
Tara, 1-night trip

Good location, friendly and helpful staff, good value for money accommodation
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice location. Quiet but easy to walk to everything. Room was very small and hot. I had to shuffle sideways to get past the bed. Window only opened a few inches. The fan made it tolerable, but it was still pretty warm.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Central location, ok value

Functional but unremarkable room. Decent location, helpful staff.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect base to explore Edinburgh

Excellent hotel, perfect base from which to explore Edinburgh. Faultless apart from the charge to store luggage on the final day. A sour note to finish a great stay.
3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Property is not well kept and the advertise having parking on site for a fee, when I got the hotel there was no parking and the staff didn’t provide any solutions.
Frank, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you have lots of luggage or heavy luggage request a room on the first floor as the building has no lifts.
Kaylee, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional
