"Absolutely superb hotel, stunning interior, fitting modern amenities in with the historic interior design. Excellent on site restaurant with the exceptional waiter. The food was excellent especially the venison casserole with broccoli and then the chocolate chilli for dessert 🍨. Not forgetting the superb breakfast."

Wow! From the time you pull into the parking lot until you check out! Friendly and professional staff, spacious room and the castle is clean, clean, clean throughout! Thank you, Fiona and Michelle in reception, Josh and the hostess for the restaurant, (I didn't get her name), and Giuseppe (?) and Dami (?) at the bar, for giving our first trip to Scotland a wonderful start. We're grateful for Fiona willing to accommodate our daughters last minute plans to join us even though the hotel was fully...

Dalhousie Castle is the ideal place if you're looking to stay in a castle in the Edinburgh area. It's about a 20 minute taxi ride from the city center which is just far enough to be out in the peaceful Scottish countryside. The castle itself is absolutely beautiful, and sits on grounds that are equally so, with archery, falconry, and several great walking paths.
The staff at the hotel were extremely nice and accommodating - we were even greeted by a nice gentleman in full Scottish garb who...

Amazing mansion conversion into an event center and hotel. And there is even a lift to get you up to the top floor! Breakfast was generous and cooked to order. It was somewhat difficult for me to find using GPS. Needed to ask for help at the Tesco petrol station.

I have too many positive things to say to list them all. This is honesty the best lodging experience of my life. Great room. Great food. Peacocks! The best service in the know universe. Sample discontinued rare Scotch in the whisky room.
If you find yourself in Edinburgh, stay at Prestonfield House. You won't regret it.

This is a great hotel for location and comfort. I don't sleep well in hotels but these beds and pillows were fantastic! Multiple options to choose from. I slept great. Dozens of great eating options within 3 blocks of hotel. Needed a cab at 4:30 am for our getaway and they arranged it. Great breakfast every morning too!

Scotland in winter can be brutally cold but the warmth of the staff and the ambience at Nyx hotel makes it a worthwhile visit. A special shout out to Kateryna, she deserves a holiday bonus!
Will definitely recommend and come back. This hotel reminds me of a posh metropolitan hotel in a major city hub in the US!

Enjoyed our stay here. Room was a great size with comfortable beds. Location is excellent: 5 min walk to the castle, and around a variety of shops and restaurants and a very safe area. Staff was helpful and friendly.
The only “con” is parking for the hotel, which is about a 15 min walk away, so can be challenging if driving.

This is an exceptional hotel. The location is very near the royal mile. I really liked how it is built into the side of the hill. We were able to use the 4th floor exit at the top and the 1st floor at the bottom of the hill. I will always try to stay at the Royal Scotsman when I return to Edinburgh!

I do not even know where to begin. Richard and his wife (who I am not sure how to spell her name, so I will not attempt) are the most kind and gracious of hosts. They allowed me to check in early and even upgraded my room at no cost to me for two nights. This upgrade was their own doing, I did not request it. Richard gave me a wonderful run down of buses, directions, taxi services, everything I would need to get started on my most dazzling vacation of Edinburgh. The rooms were cozy, warm,...
