My review agrees with all the recent posts. The location is a 20 minute walk from Haymarket & Waverley stations but close to Grassmarket & only a short stroll to the Royal Mile. Though in what seems like a seedy area on arrival (with lap dance bars), it never seemed that way - I heard no noise & saw few... more

From start to finish an absolute pleasure: Staff - genuinely kind and helpful. was on the line with us for about 10 minutes giving us directions until we made it through the gate. Explained in details all the features in the apartment and was happy to answer any questions we had. Location - true as one reviewer noted, there is... more

A truly lovely place to stay. Booked because of reviews on this site (at the time it was rated #1, have no idea why it's slipped down the rankings a bit) and it met all of our expectations. Our room overlooked the castle, it was spacious, very clean, had nice decor and was truly comfortable. Particularly noteworthy features: Speakers in... more

Previous positive reviews all accurate.Very comfortable accommodation with clean, pleasant bedrooms (2) and a large living room with better than average seating. I would suggest a floor lamp for better reading light but the sconces and overhead compensate. The sofa bed couch is as comfortable as they go. Large bath and as many robes as beds are provided.

We just got back from a stay at the Knight residence where we booked a 2 bedroom apartment. While its true there are lapdance bars next door, they didnt affect us at all and we were there with an infant. The hotel is walking distance from the castle, grassmarket, etc. and there are lots of places to eat around the... more

The welcome was warm and genuine, but the area -although convenient -is not particularly nice with 3 lap dance bars next door. We... more

We went to Edinburgh for my birthday with our children. We are Americans living in Europe for a short time, and are trying to see as much of the continent while we are here as we can. We booked our stay at The Knight's Residence, and weren't sure what to expect. It was a WONDERFUL experience. We were well taken... more

More apartments rather then a hotel, a touch dated but still very good. Located near to the old town, the accommodation includes a kitchen and most mod cons. You will not be disappointed 9/10 more

My partner and I stayed here in January 2008 and it was the perfect place for the weekend. I'm from Edinburgh but live in Yorkshire now and my partner had decided to take me there for the weekend and then he proposed at Edinburgh Castle! The Knights Residence was the ideal place for us as it is very central and... more
