Great hotel , quiet area . No street or guest noise heard. Fab check in and the hours free drinks and snacks in the evening is a great touch. Room was excellent with the small kitchen. Powerful annd hot shower. Only one niggle was housekeeping, we were out from half eight to half four both days; day one they came at five when we were getting ready for dinner , day two no show. But that was a minor thing and did not detract from a great stay. All staff were lovely.

Fantastic stay … got an incredible deal. Super clean and tidy brand new renovated! Bit of a step with suitcases from the NCP car park but really a great location!

We spent a very pleasant 3 nights at this new hotel in Edinburgh. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, and the hotel itself is comfortable, well-appointed, and tastefully designed. The location is quiet whilst still being perfect for exploring the city, and there are numerous excellent cafes and restaurants within walking distance. We would happily return to The Resident again for our next trip to Edinburgh and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

We recently stayed at this hotel and were really impressed by the overall look and feel of the place. The hotel itself is beautiful—stylish, modern, and well-maintained. The furniture and facilities were fantastic, and it’s clear that a lot of care has gone into the design and upkeep. However, the housekeeping service could use some improvement. Check-in was advertised for 3pm, but unfortunately, our room wasn’t ready until 3.45pm. On our first full day, we left the hotel at around 10.30am and returned approximately five hours later, only to find that the room still hadn’t been cleaned. Housekeeping eventually came by at 5.45pm to ask if we needed anything, which we felt was quite late for daily room service. Overall, we enjoyed our stay thanks to the hotel’s lovely setting and comfortable rooms, but a more prompt and consistent housekeeping service would definitely enhance the guest experience.

Stay here!! So lovely and central.

Exceptionally welcoming staff, every eve there were complimentary drinks where staff made such an effort to make people feel wekcome and ask about their day. Nothing was too much and the room, although on the small side, had everything I needed including a small fridge, and kitchenette. Would definitely stay again in a heartbeat.

We were able to walk to all the main attractions; so convenient. The hotel is very new so everything was in perfect condition. The towels are extra thick, the beds extra comfortable and the care to make sure everything is clean and well stocked was obvious. Plus we have to shout out the staff. The went above and beyond to make sure we were always professionally taken care of. 10/10

A wonderful spot to stay! Extremely walkable and convenient cafes, shops, restaurants nearby. We didn’t even realise how close some of our bookings were until we got there early. The staff were wonderful, only a couple of things noticed which were easy to miss and did not detract from our stay. Have already been recommending to anyone who is headed to Edinburgh.
