Perfect base to explore Edinburgh
Excellent hotel, perfect base from which to explore Edinburgh. Faultless apart from the charge to store luggage on the final day. A sour note to finish a great stay.

Sarah’s 50th Birthday celebration!
Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. We stayed in a gorgeous room which was spotless. It was a large room, far bigger than we thought. Staff were lovely and very knowledgeable/helpful. The atmosphere in the hotel was fabulous, they made us feel very welcome!

Good location handy to Waverley Station and airport tram line. Stairs to second floor rooms so might not suit anyone with mobility issues. Breakfast and house bar available.
Frank, 4-night trip

Good location- 20 minute walk to Waverley. Breakfast had good hot and cold options.
Katherine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location - we walked to all the main sites and is next to tram line for the port area! Space was tight but ok, staff friendly & helpful. Breakfast buffet was good. Secure parking is away a bit and expensive. Overall 4/5
Derek, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I spent two days at the Cairn and found it had everything needed. it’s in a great location within easy walking to lots of places to eat. The room was comfortable, clean, quiet, the bed and bedding wonderful. I walked to the Royal mile, train station, Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Palace but lots of transportation options from there .
