Regent House Hotel - City Centre Hotel - A restored Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh's historic New Town with garden courtyard

Located on a quiet cobblestone street in New Town, this family-run EDI hotel occupies a restored Georgian townhouse built in 1805. The Regent House Hotel features 17 air-conditioned rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs and tea/coffee facilities, with some rooms offering private bathrooms while others share facilities. A serene garden courtyard with tables and chairs provides outdoor relaxation space for guests. The property sits just a 5-minute walk from Princes Street's high-end shopping and an 8-minute walk from Calton Hill's monuments and viewpoints. Regent House Hotel - City Centre Hotel places guests within 0.5 miles of the Scottish National Gallery and St Giles' Cathedral, while Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile are accessible within 15 minutes by bus or tram. The airport tram stop is located 1 minute away, and Waverley Train Station is a 500-meter walk from the property.

Pros

“Regent House Hotel's automated check-in streamlines the experience, appealing to independent travelers. I note its location balances quiet surroundings with proximity to Edinburgh's attractions. While some rooms might present spatial challenges, the Georgian townhouse exudes historical charm, a distinct selling point.”
