This apartment is in a fantastic location. It is about a 10 minute walk to Edinburgh Castle, and 15-20 minute walk to the Royal Mile. The apartment is clean, and spacious with all the facilities you need. We had a very enjoyable 3 days here, and would certainly stay here again.

The breakfast at The Bonham was excellent everything you could want and the Staff were exceptionally helpful to your needs. The location was a little bit away from Princes Street, but this was good, but you need to be fairly fit to keep walking. Having said that the Taxi service was exceptional and VFM. Our room was beautiful and the building was amazing, so much history.

I think it's the first time I'm giving a hotel a full 10/10. I loved everything about The Raeburn. And as my friends and family would inform you I'm a very fastidious traveler. Location is not central- it's better than that. Reaburn is a brisk 10-min walk from all the hustle and bustle. It's got an amazing selection of cafes, restaurants, bookstores, knickknacks shops and more. The moment I stepped into the room my heart skipped a beat- I usually go for modern, sparsely decorated places but our room was an epitome of cosy comfort. It was pristinely clean. We enjoyed a spacious bathroom with a shower. My only regret is skipping breakfast- I had a long list of nearby cafes to test. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but it's money well spent. 100% would stay again.

The interior designer/decorator of this gorgeous hotel is brilliant. The lush textures, the thoughtful touches, rich colors and color palettes, the coziness, quiet luxury and beauty of each room and area was just perfection. You wanted to just melt into a velvet chair or take tea next to the huge windows overlooking the city or read a book on a plush sofa in some cozy corner. Beautiful.
