The hype
Travelers adore the boutique design and the breakfast, but often wish it were slightly closer to the Old Town.
The Roseate Edinburgh
$150-350 / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You want a moody, whisky-soaked Victorian fantasy in a quiet neighborhood, and don't mind being a 20-minute walk from the castle.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- The incredible whisky selection (over 80 varieties) at The Dunstane Bar
- Authentic Orkney soul—fresh seafood and island hospitality remain despite the rebrand
- Vispring beds that guests consistently rate as 'cloud-like'
Tóm tắt nhanh: A stunning pair of Victorian villas that feels more like a wealthy friend's estate than a hotel, provided you don't get stuck in the basement annex.
Được đánh giá bởi @thezaisers: I felt like royalty staying here. The copper tub in the room was my favorite spot to unwind with champagne, and the mirrored canopy bed is just stunning. Perfect for a romantic escape away from the busy city center.

FAQ & Những mẹo ẩn
Mọi thứ bạn thực sự muốn biết trước khi đặt phòng.
Is there a gym or pool?
No. There are absolutely no fitness facilities on-site. You'll need to run on the Water of Leith path nearby.
How far is the Old Town?
It's about a 20-30 minute brisk walk or a quick bus/tram ride. The Haymarket tram stop is a 5-minute walk away.
Is there parking?
Yes, on-site parking is available for £20/day, but spaces are limited and should be requested in advance.
Does the hotel have an elevator?
No. Be prepared to carry luggage up stairs. Staff will assist, but accessibility is limited.
Which building is better?
Dunstane House (the main building) generally has more character and the main bar/restaurant. Hampton House is the annex across the street.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome for a fee of £30 per stay, and they even get a welcome bed and treats.
Mẹo Nội Tại
- ✨
The 'Orkney' influence isn't just marketing; try the scallops and the Highland Park whisky—the previous owners were Orcadian and the legacy remains.
- ✨
Ask for a 'Dram' at the bar; the staff's whisky knowledge is genuinely expert-level, not just memorized scripts.
- ✨
The bus stop right outside (Wester Coates) has the 'Airlink 100' bus which goes directly to/from the airport—super convenient.
5 điều cần biết trước khi bạn đi
💡You might have to cross a busy main road to get to breakfast if you stay in the annex (Hampton House).
💡The 'Cosy Wee Double' rooms are 12 square meters—that is smaller than a standard parking space.
💡There is no AC in most rooms, though Edinburgh rarely needs it (fans are provided).
💡The water pressure in the top-floor Victorian rooms can sometimes be 'gentle' rather than 'power shower'.
💡The garden in the back is a surprisingly private spot for a cigar or evening drink that most guests miss.
