I like very much hospitality of the team during breakfast - specially Adnrew (old man) - very positive, very nice, very supportive and funny man. Everyday was looking to meet him during breakfast time and start a day with a small positive feeling after meeting him.

I contacted the host the day prior to our arrival asking if we could drop our bags off earlier than the check-in time, eg 12.00noon with the official check-in being 3.00pm. The reply was that would not a problem and as she was not going to be home until 6.00pm, just ring the door bell and the cleaner would let us in. Also, our room would be ready for us. The room we had was very comfortable and well equipped. The breakfast selection was great and very nice too. The location of the guest house good as only about 15 minutes walk from the main centre of Edinburgh. Also, there was a nice reasonably priced bar/restaurant almost across the road.

The Armoury is like an entire apartment with everything one can wish for. There is a coffee machine and new bottles of water delivered every day. Breakfast is in the restaurant or can be delivered to the room. The bathroom has underfloor heating. The location is great right next to the Castle and the Royal Mile.

All five-star hotels in Edinburgh

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.
