“Residence Inn stands out for its practical suites, complete with kitchenettes and free laundry-ideal for longer Edinburgh stays or family trips. I appreciate the central location near the University and Old Town attractions; it balances convenience with a degree of self-sufficiency, given the limited on-site dining. The breakfast setup can get a bit hectic, but the consistently helpful staff smooth things over.”

The room was spacious and very clean. beds were comfy, i slept really well. the modern furniture gave it a chic vibe. I felt so relaxed! i enjoyed the complete set of amenities. Everything was so convenient.
I noticed a small stain on the ceiling of the room. It was minor, though it slightly detracted from the otherwise pristine appearance.

The room had more kitchen appliances than i expected. it was a nice surprise to see a large sink and a dishwasher. the breakfast included a good variety of choices. It was very tasty.
I noticed the tv was not working when i got to my room. when i called reception, they informed me that no one was available to fix it. i also found a dirty cotton bud in the shower. The room required more attention to detail.
