The customer service here really can't be faulted....they are sooo friendly and helpful! It was a delight! The rooms are clean with a great complimentry breakfast basket and the location is great. The building site and bars at the end of the road really DONT detract from what is a super find.

I would recommend this hotel to everyone from my grannie to me best friend..a real find!

I have just got back from a 3 day stay at the Knights Residence after taking my parents away for a short break to see the Tattoo. I chose to stay there after reading all the good reviews on trip advisor. I would like to say that nothing disappointed. Read the other reviews to find out its good points and believe the hype!!! If you go there and don’t enjoy your stay you must be very hard to please. Would defiantly go back again

After reading so many glowing reviews, I was qutie disappointed with our 2 night stay at the Knight Residence in July 2008.

First, the obvious good points. The location is quite central and the Royal Mile easily walkable. The apartment was reasonably spacious and well stocked with most things a visitor could conceivably require. The concierge was very helpful and a good resource.

The gripes:

1. Please make sure they put you in Knight Residence themselves and not in the adjoining buildings which was the case with us. We were put there; the building common areas, lifts, etc are of a much lower standard than the KR themselves and a letdown. Also, access is a bit of a pain and one has to go up / down and via the carpark.

2. The view is poor made especially so by the current buidling work just outside KR. Our window opened up into a pretty run down street - hardly the kind of view one craves for whilst in Edinburgh.

3. The immediate location itself - though very convenient - is a bit of a let-down with tatty streets etc.

Overall, our stay was comfortable but could have been much better had the location been different.

I have just returned from a long weekend in Edinburgh having had the pleasure of staying in The Knight Residence. I know Edinburgh relatively well and the location is ideal. A very short walk to the Royal Mile, very close to Prince's St and Gdns and no distance to Rose or George Street. The bars and restaurants of thr Grassmarket are minutes away.

There are lap dancing clubs in the local area BUT this is hardly something the Knight Residence has any control over and, we experienced no problems whatsover.

The amenities in the apartment are first class. The decor is very contemporary and the whole place is very comfortable.

I will go back to the Knight Residence and will recommend the place to friends and family without any hesitation.
