The Knight Residence - Edinburgh, United Kingdom     

We stayed at the Knight's Residence during our first trip to Scotland in July. Didn't know what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised. We rented a two bedroom apartment which was on the third floor. Very spacious, very clean, modern and bright. Kitchen was fully stocked - incl. dishwasher, washer & dryer - plus, to our delight, coffee, tea, sugar, snacks plus milk and juice, stocked in the fridge - and all complimentary. My son truly enjoyed the flat screen TV in the livingroom (loads of channels including the cartoon network!) - not to mention that both bedrooms had tv's as well. Spacious bathroom - all new fixtures (bath and shower) and toiletries provided. View from the livingroom faced the interior courtyard - not the prettiest view but very quiet. Kitchen and dining area view faced the street - again, very quiet. With a little craning - you could see Edinburgh castle. Good location - within walking distance of Edinburgh castle, the royal mile and all Edinburgh has to offer. Grocery shops nearby as well. Staff at the residence were very helpful and friendly and always available to answer questions. Only comment was that the hotel was a few doors down from 2 strip clubs - not to say that it was located in a rundown area of the city, as it wasn't - just some local colour. While there wasn't any trouble, noise, etc. - it did make for some uncomfortable walks down the sidewalk given the bouncers and 'staff' typically took their breaks outside for a smoke. Either way, I would still highly recommend the Knight's Residence - and would without a doubt, stay again if we ever come back to Scotland.

I salute the Knight Residence. It totally exceeded my expectations with not only the quality of the apartment and the friendly, helpfulness of the staff - it was the little things that truly matter to us. We had booked this accommodation nearly a year ago for a special event and over the coming months had questions I needed to be answered. I always received prompt, friendly replies. We then had to find a babysitter at the 11th hour and again they reassured me and organised a wonderful member of staff (Jeanette) to help us. As soon as we drove into the car park we were met in the car park and escorted up to reception. It was subsequently followed with a tour of the apartment and an overview of the facilities within it. Initially, looking around neighbouring businesses, the area does look slightly scary; however I never felt unsafe. The big bonus was our kitchen window looked right out to the Edinburgh Castle. Finally after returning home, I realised I had left my mobile phone charger in the room and within a couple of emails, it had been located and posted to me. Again it was testament to the brilliant people and service that they offer. Overall, I can not recommend this place enough.
