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.

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect location to visit Edinburgh

Location is perfect, close to center and yet in a quiet street, room was comfortable and clean with plenty of milk for tea and coffee which is a rarity in hotels. Nice enough breakfast and staff were very helpful, really enjoyed our 2 day stay there, plenty of restaurants around and close to the tram to go to the sea front as well as to the centre of town.

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.

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.

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.
