We had the displeasure of staying at the Borough hotel for three days and three nights while supporting our friend's marriage. Our first impression of the hotel was pleasant, fairly hip, but trying to be something that they clearly were not. The hotel had apparently just switched management, so there were painting propped on the floor and piled up on... more

Having stayed at The Borough before, I thought this visit would be quite similar. How wrong could I be!? It seems that the hotel is under new management and here were several builders/electricians actually working around the hotel. One corridor was blocked by a workman on a stepladder which he had to move out of the wat to allow myself... more

Stayed for 3 nights and would definately go back, really friendly - great bar and restaurant - made you feel special.

Rooms are a little small but comfortable, location is a bit out of the way but worth the treck to... more

Had reservation here for Saturday evening dinner, we stayed for a maximum of five minutes!! Yes 5 minutes - It was CRAP! Reduced menu even though we asked that full menu was going to be served.

After alot of work trying to find a hotel in Edinburgh during the fringe fest, we decided on the Borough as the price was reasonable and it seemed easy enough to get into city centre. When we got there, there apparently was a mixup as they didn't have us on their list - we had a confirm and everything! This... more

Was heading to Edinburgh for a last minute city break and as Rick's and Malmaison were all booked up, we opted for Borough, lured by it's classy looking website and bold statements of grandeur. First and foremost, the location leaves A LOT to be desired. It's bang in the middle of the student quarter, minutes walk from the university and... more

This would be on my list of the top 5 hotels I've stayed at. An absolute gem all around. The place is truly a boutique hotel and the passion of the management/owners shows in almost every aspect. It's not an expensive hotel by any means and the service/quality you get for your dollar is almost unparalleled. The rooms, while small,... more

The hotel rooms were very nice, smart and cosy. Overall a great stay, relaxed and... more
