Just returned from weekend in Edinburgh to watch our son run in the marathon and stayed at Channings. We were given a very warm welcome on our arrival and our room had been upgraded to a superior room which was lovely. It was quiet and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble and we found Scott exceptionally friendly and helpful,as were... More

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

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

Wake-up call always 5 minutes later than requested :-), warm water needs 5 minutes before it becomes warm out of tap or shower, time to go to bed and wait... 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.
