The Knight Residence - Edinburgh, United Kingdom 

Kick back and enjoy
Posted: Sun, Aug 09 2009
The Knight Residence was absolutely superb in every respect. I was so worried about finding an affordable (but comfortable) hotel in Edinburgh. My parents were over from America, so they have a somewhat higher standard of comfort. Instead of booking two separate double rooms, we had one flat to share as a family at a very reasonable price (no need to collect a key across town from an office they have staff on-site). First, the staff is unbelievably nice. The concierge was friendly and helpful, and the cleaning staff was obliging (still cleaning our flat daily even though we are very late risers!). Second, the flat itself is brand new and equipped with washer/dryer, DVD, WiFi, high standard bathrooms, full kitchen. They also give you a little stash of tea/coffee/cereal/milk to start you out on when you arrive. The beds were comfortable, and all of the linen (even plush bathrobes) was replaced daily if requested. Lastly, the location was closer than ever to the touristy bits without being in the thick of it (my older non-walking parents were impressed). In the past, I have stayed in another hotel in Edinburgh that was just as nice, but not as relaxing and twice the price. Keep in mind, there is construction on the street so try to reserve a room that will not be affected by the noise. One complaint: the room was advertised as two queen rooms, which technically was correct, but the beds were actually arranged as 1 queen and 2 twin beds.

If you want to stay in a place that you can spread out, this is it. It was much larger than I expected with every amenity you could wish for along with a welcome tour from the concierge so that we knew how to work the washer/dishwasher/etc. The location is great - an easy walk to the Royal Mile or the Grassmarket. Right now, there is construction going on across the street from the hotel. It wasn't too bad except for one morning when they were jack hammering but this didn't diminish our view of the place. If we go back to Edinburgh in the future, this is where we'll stay.

A gem of a place, I know Edinburgh well and this is an IDEAL place to stay

I have just returned from a long weekend in Edinburgh having had the pleasure of staying in The Knight Residence. I know Edinburgh relatively well and the location is ideal. A very short walk to the Royal Mile, very close to Prince's St and Gdns and no distance to Rose or George Street. The bars and restaurants of thr Grassmarket are minutes away. There are lap dancing clubs in the local area BUT this is hardly something the Knight Residence has any control over and, we experienced no problems whatsover. The amenities in the apartment are first class. The decor is very contemporary and the whole place is very comfortable. I will go back to the Knight Residence and will recommend the place to friends and family without any hesitation.

Great Customer Service

Unfortunately we ended up cancelling out trip and never got a chance to actually stay there, but the staff went out of their way to arrange a child minder for us, and made arrangements to accomodate us early. I hope I get a chance to actually experience the hotel!
