On our trip through Scotland we spent a few days in Edinburgh and had a wonderful time staying at the Roxburghe. The hotel is located in the heart of the city, although it is tough to find (it is a little door in the square) and parking is pretty bad (there isn't any out front, the doorman jumped in the... more

We booked through Last minute . com at a cost of £220 per night bexcluding breakfast. I know it's festival time but I expected it to be better for the money. We booked a "larger room with King Sized Bed" well I don't know how one could possibly get a King size into a smaller room, it was very long... more

I stayed at the Roxburghe with my other half in July. During our stay we got harassed by staff. After a night out my other half and I returned to the hotel. My boyfriend took the stairs while I jumped in the lift. While waiting for the lift I saw a waiter looking at me, when the doors open he... more

Management response from
guestrelati0ns, Guest Relations Manager

I have taken the opportunity to fully investigate the comments regrettably it appears that we received complaints from guests in surrounding rooms to yours who had contacted reception to express their concern that there may have been a disturbance in your room.As such the Night Manager followed our standard operating procedures of visiting the room,he may have waited a short...

Just back from a long weekend in Edinburgh. Booked the Roxburghe through a Tesco Clubcard deal. Was a little wary of the type of room we would get but was impressed when we arrived. Newly renovated standard double room which was lovely. Only niggle we had was that the room still held a strong smell of paint (not good to... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Roxburghe. The location of this hotel in the New Town is very convenient for walking to Princes Street, Princes Park and the Royal Mile, as well as for exploring the New Town. It's also close to Rose Street which has some amazing pubs. Everyone on the staff was very friendly. We were shown... more

The Roxburghe is a solid, slightly old-fashioned hotel in a delightful location on Charlotte Square in the New Town. Room well furnished with quality fittings. Breakfast was first-class, with the cooked breakfast ordered via a waiter rather than collected from a buffet table. Expensive, though, at £17.50 and there isn't an option to have a 'continental' breakfast at a lower... more

Wow is all I can say. I'd read the reviews on here a week before I'd left and must say, i was a little nervous! We phoned the Reservations department and the Manager put our mind at ease, saying that over 800 pass through the hotel per week and that one bad experience gets a review on here, but 799... more

We paid £175 for 2 of us for a 3 night stay, fantastic value. The location was perfect in the heart of Edinburgh, just off a side street. We had a cooked breakfast everyday, Sat & Sun it was a buffet style, Monday morning your order was taken for cooked breakfast but you could help yourself to everything else The... more

I stayed in The Roxburghe Hotel for 4 days as part of a work course being held in the hotel. The Hotel is in a good location being close to Princes Street and some rooms have a view of Edinburgh Castle. The hotel boasts a 4 star category however my view is that it is more realistically a 3 star... more

I stayed in the Roxburghe with my husband for 3 nights. It was our first time to Edinburgh and we were not disappointed with the city or the hotel. The hotel was great, the location is very central, just a few steps down the square and you are on Princess St the main street in Edinburgh. We were able to... more
