The Roseate Edinburgh, an SLH Hotel

What a lovely hotel! We stayed for one night as a January treat and it was quite a treat! We were given a warm welcome and taken through to the bar for coffee/tea whilst we waited for our check in. We’ve never experienced a check in like this - the gentleman sat down with us (sorry we didn’t catch his name but it was 9/1/25), went through all the details, had a friendly chat about our plans and then showed us to our room. He couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming. We were allocated a beautiful room. A firm pillow was provided on request with no problem at all. The towels, linens and products were excellent quality. We also ate in the restaurant and the dinner was superb, as was breakfast the following morning. Every single staff member we interacted with was friendly, courteous and helpful. If you are looking for a top class, small boutique hotel in Edinburgh this is the place. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and have already recommended to others.

We were married in the hotel and had a wonderful experience there. The wedding package was superb. The staff were excellent and made us feel so special and welcome. We were in the Roseate Suite which was fabulous. We had afternoon tea on arrival and our wedding “breakfast “ after the ceremony the following day in the hotel. The food and service were excellent. Would love to go back. Many thanks to Jana, Anna, Mr Russell and the rest of the team

My daughter and I spent 3 nights in December at this lovely hotel. The venue was lovely and the staff went over the top to be helpful with suggestions of restaurants and areas we needed to visit while in Edinburgh. They also have a restaurant and bar. The location was perfect for us as we didn’t want to stay in the middle of the city. The Roseate is in a lovely residential area and just a short walk to the tram. We definitely recommend this hotel and hope to stay there again one day as we so enjoyed Edinburgh.

Visited Edinburgh for the Christmas experience and stayed here. The whole stay was fantastic. We arrived hours before our check-in where we were welcomed in from the cold with a tasty complementary coffee which was very welcome. The room was made ready for us so we could freshen up before venturing out for the day. The room we had was clean, very nicely presented and the bed was extremely comfortable. The dinner we had was lovely. The breakfast the following day was delicious, the haggis was stunning. All in all we highly recommend this hotel. |All the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough to make you feel special, but we have to give an extra mention to Zoltan who was just magnificent, a credit to the hotel.|20 out of 10 for us.

The building looked impressive when we arrived and we were greeted by Zoltan who made us feel very welcome. We were seated in the main room where Zoltan checked us in and offered us a welcome drink, before we were shown to our suite which was very spacious and clean with a cosy living area. We had a great night's sleep and decided to have the Scottish breakfast the following morning, although the menu had lots of options! I have already recommended The Roseate to friends and family and look forward to another visit soon.

My wife and I stayed at this property for 4 nights in Dec 2024. We loved every moment of our stay from the moment we walked in to the day we left. One of the Engagement Liaisons (Zoltan) was very hospitalbe and provided us with several amazing recs for restaurants, places to visit and even took care of booking our reservations.||The lounge/restaurant at the property was also top notch. Mr. Frenchie was an excellent host and took care of us.|| We will definitely be returning guests for our next visit to Edinburgh!

We stayed at this hotel for our anniversary, and it was an unforgettable experience! The staff was incredibly welcoming, the service was outstanding, and the location was absolutely perfect. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Wow! what a beautiful building, fabulous rooms and elegant surroundings to relax in after busy city days in Edinburgh. But the highlight were the exceptional staff - this kind of service is rare - kind, warm and looking to meet your expectations at each interaction. Really felt special and welcome and made the trip for us. Special mention to Alexander, Katie but sorry not to have a long list of names here. And the chef! Top class.

Lovely hotel with such great service. Atmosphere and hospitality is well met upon arrival. We feel like we've been transported to the late 1800's with such bold old decor! I dig it very much. Definitely going to explore this lovely place of refuge the next few days. Restaurant was great with quick service... we were starving from our long train travel in from London. Thank you to all who all make this place possible to experience its beauty and glory.

Absolutely recommend! My husband and I spent 5 nights at The Roseate and had the opportunity to have a few meals here. If you get a chance , their afternoon tea is an absolute must! Everything was beyond perfect.

Exquisite comfort and style. Scrumptious food. 5 star staff. Endless whiskey choices made fun by expert guide.

I spent 2 weeks in the UK and stayed at 4 different hotels/B&Bs and this was by far my favorite. Unfortunately, I only stayed for one night but I would love to have enjoyed the house longer. Our room was upgraded and was absolutely beautiful with a four-poster bed and lovely furnishings. The bathroom was immaculate, warm, and had a perfect shower. The rooms feel very fresh and new. One of the few places I have ever stayed that actually looks better than the professional photos from the hotel website. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. I did not have a chance to dine, but grabbed a night cap, wonderful red wine, at the bar. It was so cozy and comfortable. I cannot recommend this place enough. Things to note: A bit of a walk to New Town area but not too far. Careful not to mix up with the The Dunstane City Hotel...it is right across the street and cab drivers can get confused dropping off & picking up.

A nice place to have a quiet pint after work...a nightmare trying to get one when the rugby is playing down the road (as with all pubs and hotels in the area!) however the staff are welcoming and it's a place you can relax and enjoy.

Clean room, nice ambience. Walking distance to town if you enjoy walking. The bus stop is located right in front of the hotel. The beer selection is nice I just wish they had draught available not just bottles. The only downside is that there isn't a lot of parking and it fills up fast.

Stayed here on my honeymoon. Had nothing but amazing encounters with the staff. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast was great that we added onto our room reservation. It was also really easy to get into town as the bus stop was right outside of the hotel and was a short 10 minutes ride. Loved it and would not stay anywhere else in Edinburgh.

Lovely wee boutique hotel! Very spacious, close to the city and reasonable price. We stayed in the luxury 'blue room'. While the room itself was stunning I have a few dislikes! Its situated within 10 feet of the reception desk which although wasn"t excessively noisey we could still here the foot traffic of people heading in and out etc. Its also on the ground floor so we had to close the curtains/blinds to get ready which made it incredibly dark even with all of the lights on....I'm all for mood lighting but I also don't want to look like I've literally got dressed in the dark! Breakfast was good and at a reasonable hour!(7-10.30). All in all lovely place to stay but would reccomend asking im advance for a room not on the ground floor.

A little out of the way, but super comfortable and reasonably priced. The hotel actually had a separate building across the street and that's where we stayed. The rooms are small but comfortable The staff couldn't be nicer and there's a terrific breakfast. Oh yeah, they even have an 'honor bar' where you can come by for a late night drink or two. Just write down what you had.

Booked the four poster room for a couple of nights when we went to Murrayfield to watch the 6 nations rugby match against Wales. The staff were very friendly and the room was beautiful and HUGE. They serve an amazing scottish breakfast and its an excellent location within easy walking distance of the city centre and the stadium. Quite expensive but well worth the cost.

I am writing about a reservation issue that was so unpleasant that I am writing my first review. I called the Dunstane House Hotel recently to make reservations 6 months in advance of our first visit to Scotland. I had a long conversation with their reservation clerk to ensure that a member of our group with severe mobility restrictions could be adequately accommodated. I was also only interested in staying in the main hotel after reading other Tripadvisor reviews. After exploring all of our options I was able to confirm first floor rooms in the main hotel that would make our stay possible. Imagine my surprise, when shortly afterwards, I received the following email: "I spoke with you on the phone earlier regarding a booking at the hotel. Unfortunately I have promised you rooms which have already been promised to another guest who booked a while ago with severe mobility issues... I am ever so sorry about this." Oddly enough, he and I were on the phone together for at least thirty minutes - and even jointly looked at Orbitz online to compare what seemed to be a pricing discrepancy - and both his own and the third party site shown these rooms to be available! I have since spoken to the manager of the Dunstane House Hotel who gave me a completely different story. According to her, in an "amazing, first time ever coincidence" someone else was booking these exact same rooms, also six months in advance, also with mobility problems and the "system" accepted their reservations first. And, so sorry, those were the only first floor rooms in the main hotel. Unfortunately, however, the most believable part of her explanation was that, while we were trying to reserve three nights, the other party was booking a two-week stay - need one say more? This has been such a unique and unpleasant experience, the explanations so unbelievable, and the discrepancy between the 'instantaneous online conflict' and the 'booked a while ago' explanations so irreconcilable, that I can only offer my personal "beware" to anyone looking to make arrangements at the Dunstane house.

I was trying to book a hotel for an upcoming business trip and this hotel had good reviews. Here was the problem I ran into. My travel department at work got a quote for GBP 2957 with a 50% deposit. We agreed and booked within an hour. When the charge posted we realized they had raised the rate to GBP 3627 which is over a $1000 USD difference! We called immediately to cancel the reservation and we were told that there would be a cancellation charge even though their policy specifically says you have 14 days to cancel. After long negotiations they "only" charged us a nights stay of $429 to cover their fees! Are they kidding?!? Not only should their be no fee that is an excessive administrative fee. Very unprofessional, rude and unethical. Would not recommend anyone to stay here.
