    Stairs steep and difficult at times to climb. Windows very difficult to open.

    Staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, celebrating my daughters 18th we got a very unexpected upgrade to a beautiful apartment. Uniquely designed, comfortable, modern interior. Stunning accommodation with the only downside being a lack of lift for heavy luggage. If you will struggle with stairs when booking an apartment let the Rutland know so you book ground floor. Otherwise can not fault a truly memorable stay. Thank you !!

    Great but some small improvements to make amazing

    • Junior Suite
    • Stayed 1 night
    • Submitted via mobile

    Things to be improved: - In the junior suite - number 12 - the blind is so ill fitted and too small. The light streams in and wakes you from about 4:30am. We are shattered today. - The air con, even when turned off, was noisy for us. So again, not a great sleep. - The door slams outside our room. This is the door taking you down the stairs. It would be so simple for them to put some sort of soft closing mechanism on it. It’s really annoying when people go back and forward. - Possibly more annoying - the outer door key they gave us didn’t work. After 10pm they lock the doors. Luckily the night shift guy was on the desk but they said after ten they sometimes wander and do other jobs. It was cold outside and I think they should check those keys work first. - The pillows on the bed just weren’t for us. We both have sore necks today. One was too flat and two together just didn’t work. - The bath wasn’t hot! It was lukewarm. If you want a bath you don’t want to be cold in it after a few minutes. - Exorbitant mini bar drink prices. £28 whisky bottle, £3.75 for one can of coke etc. We would rather have had some posh crisps or chocolate options to purchase but hey ho. Maybe just being picky but at the cost per night this is what we would expect. A beautiful little hotel and room, but not our best night’s sleep, sadly.

    Let’s start with the fact that everything is pretty great and we are being picky because of the price point. Location is fab. Room is beautiful and spacious. Nice toiletries, bath, bedroom, views. Free Tunnocks are a nice touch. Roberts radio. GHDs - loved this as saved faff. Reduced parking price for the night through the hotel. Discounts offered at the adjoining bar/restaurant. Also re the staff, the first (American woman) receptionist was lovely. We would come again but would look for an offer.

    Nothing to not like!

    First I’d like to commend the staff who went above and beyond to make sure that my family and I had everything we needed. As a disabled guest this attention was really appreciated. The accessible room was exceptionally comfortable with excellent facilities. The bed was a dream.. literally! Really great location. Highly recommend the Rutland!

    Upon checking in at 2:00 a.m., I had a strange dialogue at the reception about the requirement to pay a £15 cash deposit for the minibar, which was not mentioned during the room reservation. However, the room payment had been settled in advance during booking. I was told by the receptionist that the deposit would be refunded upon check-out. At 2:00 a.m., I was eager to sleep and didn't have any cash on me as I was only staying for one day. I requested to have the minibar removed from the room since I had no intention of using it, but initially, my request was denied. After a relatively lengthy conversation, they eventually checked me in without requiring the deposit. Also, there was no hairdryer in the room. I'm not sure if one was supposed to be provided, but if it wasn't, then it wasn't there. There was no mirror in the bathroom, but there were handrails, most likely for people with limited mobility, and pull cords were hung everywhere in the room, presumably to signal for assistance in case of a fall.

    I really liked the location, the staff at breakfast, the cleanliness, the spaciousness of the room, and the warmth, which is extremely important for Edinburgh
