The Roxburghe Hotel, Edinburgh

...visited Edinburgh fairly frequently in the past few years both for business and pleasure. On the last occasion, my company booked me into the Roxburghe Hotel in Charlotte Square. This is as fine an example of a Georgian Square as you’ll find anywhere in Britain, and the hotel itself had just finished a major refurbishment that made it even more elegant. You could hardly pick a better spot to go out and explore the delights of the Scottish ...
...Princess Street, where most of the big department stores are located. One that sticks in my memory in particular is Jenners, a real high-class establishment, that reminded me a lot of Harrods in London. (so did their prices) Anyway, back to the hotel itself. It’s fairly big, with over a 100 rooms, and I was amazed when they showed me to mine. It was actually more like a suite, with loads of room, and a gorgeous Georgian fireplace with a huge ...

Review of The Roxburghe Hotel, Edinburgh

...chance it, we went to the tourist office and they suggested the Roxburgh, right in the shadow of the Castle. The cost was a little on the high side....£140 for the room (2+1 infant) but we were told that it had just been refurbished so decided to take it. It's set in a lovely part of Endinburgh, a very short walk from the centre, the people there were very friendly (a quality we found throughout Edinburgh!), there is a big glass area in the centre ...
...They put us on the 5th floor, when we got to the room we were very impressed, it was a very large room...more of a suite, with a living room area and a Queen size bed on the side, there was a balcony with beautiful views across the town and the whole room felt like quality - very impressive. Downstairs you have access to a modern and well equipped leisure centre with a pool (bit on the cold side), steam room, dry sauna, aerobics room and a gym - ...

Review of The Roxburghe Hotel, Edinburgh

...visited Edinburgh on business and the Roxburghe Hotel was chosen for me in January because it is sited on Charlotte Square where I was conducting some consultancy work. A really warm welcome with prompt reception service and excellent decor. My room was well furnished, very comfortable and well maintained, noise from other rooms is well muted. Meals are well cooked and nicely presented, no trouble attracting a waiter or waitress as they are ...
...am basically a carnivore). The lounge service is very good with the waiting staff making reqular tours enquiring after your needs or, if you are obviously busy, leaving you alone. The bar is small and aimed at spirits rather than beers. I stayed for 4 nights during the week and found the hotel relaxing and refreshing. The hotel was completing some enhancements to its conference facilities but I had no time to explore them. The only downside ...

Review of The Roxburghe Hotel, Edinburgh

...I stayed at the Roxburghe Hotel last year with my fiance for the weekend. It is part of the MacDonalds hotel chain. Was a bit tricky to find it on Charlotte square but the annoying part was trying to find a nearby car park as the hotel has no parking facilites. The hotel itself was very nice indeed! The staff were very friendly and helpful on every occasion. Did feel a bit out of place in my jeans and old trainers but all the same we didn't get ...
...queen size comfortable bed. The only thing that wasn't too nice was our view, you opened the curtains and saw a ledge with some dead birds and rubbish on it. Nice!! Room service was excellent. Mini bar was stocked full but i don't touch these as they are always way overpriced. The location was fantasic as well, lots of restaurants and pubs etc nearby as well as many shopping centres. My friend works for MacDonalds and got us the room for £30 a night ...
