Great boutique hotel, about 20 minute walk from tourist attractions (bring raingear). Wonderful small bar with fireplace, frequented by locals each evening. We stayed over a week and used the hotel as a base for day trips. Staff was superlative. Excellent breakfasts included in room rate. Comfortable beds and pillows. Very clean. Our first few nights were in a small... more

Where can I start! This hotel is in a fantastic location. Right in the heart of Edinburgh but on a quiet and very beautiful street! It is only a fifteen/twenty minute walk up to the castle which we did as we were staying at this hotel while we went to see a Runrig concert at the castle for my boyfriends... more

Large, clean!!, beautiful room with a large very modern bath. This hotel was more than you could ask for. The staff was suberb!! Only a 5 min. walk to the bus to get to downtown Edinburgh. Very safe neighborhood. The breakfast was excellent, book your room with it included. The bar downstairs stayed open as long as there were guest... more

My in-laws had stayed here twice before us. The beds were very comfortable and the bar in the basement was nice. We also were able to walk to town from the hotel yet there didn't seem to be a lot of traffic around the hotel. more

This hotel is about a 15 minute walk into the city and in a very leafy and quiet area. There are several buses into town. The hotel was originally several large town houses elegantly refurbished into one large premise. There are fascinating photos of Shackleton, the explorer who apparently lived in the house. The staff are very welcoming and nothing... more

Booked this hotel based on the good reviews on Trip Advisor. Would agree with most of what is been said in terms of cleanliness, nice decor and good food. The bedrooms have been updated with modern soft furnishings which look great. Whilst the bathroom was spotless it could benefit from a makeover as the tiling is pretty old style and... more

What a bargain...location, a ten minute [brisk] walk or a leisurely thirty minute walk through tree shaded streets, past midevil stone structures and parks, and, finally, boutique and shoppes on Princes Street in the heart of Edinburgh. Also, the hotel is located an easy (16 Pound) cab ride from the EDI airport. The Channings has only 41 units; so the... more

It's a while since I stayed (2months ago during Easter) but I'm compelled to provide a review on this hotel to help others. 1. Bargain I had I'm a seasoned traveller, but this hotel was something to really remember. It's not Ritz Carlton, but for what you pay, it's a definite 5*. The hotel's website offers various deals, I had... more
