And to top it all, we brought a warm and sunny weather with us from Slovakia, so we truly had an amazing stay.

    From the moment we were upgraded to a sumptuous de luxe room to the morning of check out we could not be happier with the Raeburn. Set in one of our favourite urban villages, Stockbridge, we were able to enjoy the best of the many independent shops and cafes in the area and relax in the lively bar and restaurant area of the Raeburn in the evening The young staff were exceptional and the reception staff especially so. The decor in the room was wonderful and the bath and shower area superb. I can't recommend highly enough.

    Location was convenient - 3 min walk from west end tram station, lots of options for cafe/eateries/grocery/pharmacy, peaceful neighbourhood. Both dean village and princess street is walkable. The flat was spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. There was a manual to describe each and every thing about the flat facilities which was handy. The kitchen was well stocked with necessary kitchen supplies.

    Brilliant hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Like stepping back in time with all the history and original features. Loved the library and grand staircase, was very Agatha Christie (I even found a book about Agatha). Staff were lovely, room was amazing and views of the Dean Village were stunning. I'd most definitely stay here again.
