    poor sound
    inconvenient layout

    The noise insulation was severely lacking between rooms!!! Not to mention the inconvenient room layouts that made maneuvering difficult. Plus, the shower design caused water to leak everywhere, definitely a hassle during my stay!!!

    We loved the spacious family room with the largest bed ever! The location is perfect, just a short walk to key attractions.

    Felt super comfortable, no complaints whatsoever.

    clean room
    stunning view
    comfortable bed
    limited breakfast options

    I really enjoyed my two-night stay here. the room was clean and the view from the window was stunning. I loved the comfortable bed for a good night's sleep. The hotel had a nice lounge area and a lovely outdoor patio where I could relax after a day of sightseeing. Just a heads up, the breakfast options could have been a bit more varied, but it didn't ruin my experience! 😊

    convenient location
    spacious room
    thoughtful gesture
    frustrating parking
    limited space

    During my recent stay, I found the location quite convenient. The spacious room made our time enjoyable. It was a relief to come back after a day of sightseeing and relax in comfort. I appreciated the thoughtful gesture of receiving two macaroons upon check-out, which added a personal touch to the experience.

    I encountered issues with the parking arrangements. It was frustrating to deal with the limited space available.

    great space but minor maintenance issues

    The family room I stayed in was impressively spacious, accommodating comfortably even with three. The modern decor and pleasant carpet made the hallways inviting, contributing to a cozy atmosphere.

    There were minor maintenance issues in the bathroom.

    modern design
    welcoming atmosphere
    limited accessibility
    inconvenient stairs

    The charming, modern decor of the Cairn made wandering the hallways a delight, like strolling through a cozy art gallery where every corner was thoughtfully curated. It felt welcoming and made my stay truly enjoyable.

    More accessibility options for seniors would be appreciated.

    comfortable bed
    light breakfast room
    cramped room

    We had a comfortable stay in a small double room, and I loved the complimentary crisps and biscuits. Breakfast put a nice touch to our mornings. However, the room was more cramped than expected.

    great location
    cozy accommodation
    bathroom radiator

    Had a great time with friends exploring the shops and nightlife just 800 metres away. The location was perfect, close to all the attractions, and the place was cozy for our group. We visited the Royal Mile and the castle, both easily walkable. Just a heads up, though, the dining area was small for our group of friends, but we managed to make it work!

    One downside was the bathroom radiator that stayed on permanently, making it pretty warm at times. It would have been nice to have control over the heating.

    friendly staff
    clean room
    comfortable amenities
    limited breakfast
    minimal dining choice

    My stay at Cairn Hotel was quite positive. The location was perfect, situated in a quiet area yet within walking distance to main shops, cafes, and restaurants. The hotel staff were friendly and attentive, making the check-in process smooth. The room was clean and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed for my work-related stay. I appreciated the underfloor heating feature, which added an extra touch of comfort during my visit.

    The breakfast option was a Grab n go bag which I found lacking.

    would definitely book here again

    Had a fantastic stay with a small double room that included a flat-screen TV, private bathroom with good water pressure in the shower, and free toiletries. The cozy hotel bar area was a nice touch, perfect for unwinding. The staff were super friendly and made our breakfast a pleasure with a variety of options served hot. Definitely a hidden gem!

    great location
    delicious breakfast
    comfortable rooms
    tricky heating

    The location was perfect for hitting up nearby shops and nightlife, only 800 meters from all the action. We also checked out a couple of amazing sites nearby. The facilities were great with lots of amenities. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were comfortable, making it an ideal spot to unwind after a day out.

    One downside was that the heating in our room was a bit tricky to manage, making it feel warm at times. It would have been nice to have better control over the temperature.

    noise disturbances
    limited breakfast

    The location of the Cairn Hotel is fantastic, on a peaceful street yet close to everything. The staff greeted me with warmth and helped me check in smoothly. My room was clean and came with all necessary amenities, including a flat-screen TV and tea facilities. I loved the underfloor heating, a nice touch for chilly Edinburgh. Breakfast options were decent but limited, and I found the grab-and-go bags insufficient. I encountered issues with noise coming from other rooms, which disrupted my sleep a bit. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement.

    great location
    limited dining options

    The Cairn Hotel is perfect for families! We enjoyed spacious accommodations, and the convenient location made it easy to explore Edinburgh with our little dog. The easy walk to shops and theatres kept the kids entertained, and the staff were so friendly.

    My kids wished there were more family-friendly dining options available on-site.
