We decided to have one night after our wedding and I decided upon The Howard. It's superb. Fussed over from the moment we arrived! Valet parked, cases brought to the room after we had been shown the room. Tea or coffee at the end of the phone 24/7! We stayed in the Charlotte room and it was gorgeous, my wife... More

I booked The Howard several months ago as a birthday treat for my wife - a weekend of luxury in Edinburgh was promised with our very own butler to take care of the unpacking and even the ironing! We arrived late afternoon and the staff were really welcoming. I was a little worried as I had left the car on... More

This is one of those mysteries.....not the Scottish ghost or haunted type, but how are you a 5 star type? Starting with the positive, the rooms were quite spacious by European standards. The negative, I understand that this hotel has recently changed hands, and where it may have been lovely to stay at once, it is not now.  Add to... More

Recently stayed at The Howard, superb hotel, Barry the butler was excellent, highly recommend a stay here, thank you all at The Howard

We spent 3 nights at The Howard and had a lovely experience there. The hotel is a charming boutique. The room was very spacious, the bathroom was as well, it was all that we expected. We ate at the restaurant one of the nights and the food was excellent. Staff very helpful and most of all we enjoyed the butler... More

The old style bedroom was large and comfortable and had a huge bathroom and a walk-in closet. The butler service was excellent and we found the food fantastic in quality and really good value when bought as... More

This hotel does not deserve a 5 star at all. Very pricey therefore you would expect excellence in all domains. The breakfast was good. Decor is tired. Bathroom very nice but lacking in practical details. You would expect a replacement of complimentary shower gel etc, however for 3 nights only had one sample of each, rather mean. Would have loved...

We stayed in the Fettes room at £140 B&B for one night (I'm glad it was only one night!) The decor was dated and there was a clear lack of attention to detail in the rooms (cheap furniture, chipped picture frames and flaking wallpaper). We also had to stand at the checkin/check out whilst the staff sat down. The staff... More

Situated in a row of classic Georgian townhouses in New Town, this hotel was extremely welcoming and comfortable. I can recommend the kitchen for dinner. My room was a good size with a magnificent bathroom which had the largest footed tub I've ever had the pleasure to soak in. A separate closet-room, which helped me keep my mess (of shopping,... More
