This hotel was so wonderful. They have been so friendly and efficient throughout our stay. I loved your added touch of having our name on the apartment door aswell. Really wonderful location and superb apartments! If we ever come back to Edinburgh, we will definitely be staying here again!...

What a terrific surprise this place is. Tucked in a fabulous location, really well appointed, terrific staff and secure carparking! The rooms were comfortable, clean and stylish. The apartments are well insulated and private. The `starter pack` for breakfast was brilliant. The cafe across the road is amazing with quality barista made coffee. Sainsbury`s on the doorstep. We couldn`t have asked for more....

3rd time at the knight residence and it is still one of my favourite places in Scotland for a city break. The one downside (not the hotels fault) is the noise on weekends at the front of the hotel from the footfall at the "Bars" on the corner. Too many stag nights for my liking. As all the 1 bedroom units are on the front of the building there is really no escape. Unless there is a plan for some serious new windows then I guess it is unavoidable. Time to look elsewhere for us. As ever, I cannot fault the service, welcome and facilities....

Apartment of very high standard. Would recommend to others. It is close to some strip clubs, didn`t cause us any problems (we stayed on a Fri and Sat night) but worth bearing in mind if this bothers you....

The apartment was clean, spacious, well equipped, warm. Could not ask for anything more and we all wished we could have extended our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, so that taxis, meals out and our day trips went without a hitch. Stress free. Loved it and would highly recommend the Knight Residence to anyone....

My husband and I stayed there with our two children. TV with combined dvd player in both bedrooms. Lovely accommodation, home for home and central Edinburgh. We visited the Winter Gardens and plan to do same again next year and also take in the Pantomime at the King`s Theatre, which is also in the West End. Check out is 11am but allowed to leave your car in the Knight Residence Car Park for the duration of the day/until 11pm when the concierge finishes. Highly recommended as a place to stay for families in particular....

We stayed in the Knights Residence for 2 nights with our 2 children. The apartment was clean, quiet and friendly the off road parking was great and very convenient. It had all the facilities of home. Yes it is in an area nicknamed by locals as the "pubic triangle" because of the strip clubs but there was no noise and even walking back to the hotel at night saw nothing to concern us. We did not stay at the weekend so cannot comment on the noise etc then but we would highly recommend these apartments to anyone....
