    I had warm and cosy double room. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and enjoyed my clean bathroom. The location of the hotel was very central, very close to central Edinburgh for £150/night on a Fringe bank holiday weekend, the whole city center and Old Town.

    Really lovely overall experience. Excellent and fantastic location in the heart of the city, and only about 5 minutes' walk to Edinburgh centre. For tea or coffee visit Florentine nearby. Plenty of goodies for breakfast.

    I had 1 night in Edinburgh, spending the time here lovely. I asked for a double room and it was cozy with a separate private bathroom. The extra touches like coffee/tea making equipment and free tea were a treat. The staff were courteous.

    The location was fantastic, right in the town center! We could walk everywhere and there were great places to eat and drink right on our doorstep. The room was cozy and clean, with a comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and quick to respond to our questions. The small personal touches like tea, coffee, biscuits, and guest info made it feel even more comfortable and special.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    The location of Residence - No 8 is absolutely amazing! It is right in the city center, making it very convenient to explore all that Edinburgh has to offer. The room was well-fitted and had everything we needed, including a wall plug adapter. Despite being located next to a noisy pub, we were pleasantly surprised that the noise didn't bother us at all. The security entry system and multiple locked doors gave us a great sense of safety. if you're looking for a comfortable place to crash after a day of exploring, Residence - No 8 is perfect.

    Though not a major issue, some of the floor boards felt a little weak, which was slightly concerning. Additionally, there were thin walls between rooms, but luckily, all the other guests were considerate and we didn't experience any disturbances.
