Me and my cousin stopped here from the 30th of Dec to 2nd Jan and we couldnt have felt more welcome. The staff were very friendly and made every effort to help us with every queiry we had. Our concierge couldnt have done more to make our stay as relaxing as possible even phoning at least 15 restaurants to book... More

We ended up at Channings after being 'outbooked' (whatever that means) by their sister hotel the Howard. This trip was a birthday gift to me from my family so I was extremely disappointed that our Howard booking had been cancelled at short notice. Channings could not have made us more welcome. We were upgraded to a junior suite on arrival... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights over Christmas. First impressions were great, the lobby with the armchairs and the roaring fire was like stepping into an exclusive club. The staff were friendly and attentive, sorting out my bags and my room without fuss. The room itself was very comfortable. Perhaps a little small, but the bed was enormous... More

Stayed here for 3 nights, in a superior double(Room no. 66). Was a leisure trip with family. The good stuff first... - Asked for a baby cot on phone, and it was ready when we arrived - Staff were quite pleasant and very helpful throughout our stay, probably the saving grace for this hotel - Room was clean, a bit...

I had not stayed here for 2 years and so wondered if standards at this 4 star hotel had gone up or down since my last visit at Christmas 2009. I am glad to report that I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 night Christmas break here. The hotel is about 3/4 of a mile from the west end of Princes Street... More

We stayed for one night on December 17 in room 35. The welcome was courteous and friendly. The bedroom itself was comfortable, as was the be. However the bathroom was not particularly clean - hairs were in the sink and there was mold in the grouting above both the sink and bath. The TV remote system did not work due... More

We stayed here for a weekend's holiday in Edinburgh. There was a mix-up about our dinner reservation on the first night, but they had emailed us about a week ahead so we were able to contact them and they fixed it perfectly. The staff were particularly pleasant, friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. The location is a little way... More

We stayed here for three nights on a pre Christmas visit to Edinburgh. This is a very comfortable hotel where the staff were unfailingly helpful and pleasant. It has an old fashioned charm and our room, though rather small, was nevertheless very comfortable, clean and cosy. It is a pleasant (20 min) walk to Princes St and the majority of... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. Dec 7 and 8. Unfortunately there was a major storm and viewing Edinburgh was difficult with the high winds. Charming traditional style B and B. Incredibly helpful staff. Free WiFi and a wonderful Breakfast and dinner. This is pure Scottish charm. A bit off the beaten path but easy access into town.... More
