Channings Hotel is a great place to stay, especially for those that like to walk in the footsteps of history! This was Ernest Shackleton's residence when he was living in Edinburgh. He was the first man to make it to the South Pole. You'll find lots of his personal effects all around the hotel! It's fun to pretend you're back... More

I have stayed at this hotel several times while working at our Edinburgh office. The staff are always friendly and helpful; the rooms are comfortable and the breakfast is excellent. They will always try to cater for what you want. The wifi is pretty fast (generally about 5Mbs) and all the rooms I have had have large (32") flat screens.... More

From the minute we stepped over the threshold to the day we left, the hotel staff were fantastic!! We arrived around 10am in the morning knowing we probably couldn't checkin till later, but our room was actually ready and Mario showed us straight there after checking in - we were in room 4 which was right off the main reception...

The room itself was decorated... More

I have stayed here many years back when I worked close by, again my wife and I stayed around 5 years back en route to Arran. This time it was my fiftieth birthday weekend and the hotel didn't fail to impress. Ok, there were some big cob webs in the room and some chips and scratches on some furniture but... More

Keen to help in any way with maps etc. Our room didnt have much of a view and had slightly dated furnishings , but a very nice bathroom. Everything... More

Service was good and very friendly but we felt that the room was a bit dated/shabby. Breakfast was just ok - good enough selection but the rolls were very stale and therefore not eaten!
