"WE thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the staff very helpful. The room was large and comfortable. The only down-side was that the hotel is some way from the centre, but this was less of a problem as the busstop was close by and the service good. The hotel was good value for money." - Anonymous
"The hotel is on the outskirts of the City Centre, but easily accessible by bus or taxi. The hotel has a vibrant bar with a bar menu. Breakfast is excellent and would recommend having the haggis. Rooms are adequate with good decoration. However I did notice that cleaning was not excellent and some of the rooms we booked could do with decorating especially the attic room which had flaking paint on the ceilings due to damp and a loose window. Overall a good time was had and I would stay at the hotel again" - michael ball

| Hotel description: |
|
Set within the mature, leafy suburbs to the south of Edinburgh city centre, The Royal Ettrick Hotel provides the perfect getaway from the bustle of the city whilst still being within walking distance of The Old Town. This popular residential area of the city has housed some of its most famous inhabitants, past & present including Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
Built in the 1860''s as the grand home of a rich Edinburgh barrister, The Royal Ettrick remained a private residence until it was converted into a hotel during the 1940''s. Undergoing refurbishment & extension in early 2008, the hotel has the modern conveniences guests have come to expect whilst retaining the original character & features of this beautiful building.
The Royal Ettrick Hotel is situated less than fifteen minutes by bus to Princes Street & linked to the heart of the old town by The Union Canal making access to Edinburgh''s major attractions quick & simple.
The hotel offers 17 bedrooms situated across all three floors of the property, & upstairs accommodation is accessed via the original ornate staircase.
In the morning a full Scottish cooked breakfast & continental selection are served in The Conservatory Bistro on the ground floor. The Conservatory offers a full menu throughout the day with restaurant dining in the evening.
The hotel also houses The International Bar, offering true Scottish colour & character with a traditional pub feel & broad range of regular customers & guests alike. |
