Perfect location just next to Real Mary King's Close,on the Royal Mile. We wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. However, if you are ordering breakfast at Luckenbooths (recommend that you have the residents breakfast which includes a hot dish, a coffee and a juice) avoid the granola. It was 90% granola and 10 % yoghurt, so dry that my mum had to ask for more yoghurt to make it edible, at which point she was offered the smallest portion of yoghurt I have ever seen. Apart from this, everything was perfect and the apartments have a lot of character and are tastefully decorated, very quiet at night too.

Beautiful. Great breakfast, complementary coffee, great honesty bar. So helpful staff. Rooms well equipped. A little small if traveling with heavy suitcases. We had a big bathroom made for disable person. Floor a little slippery.

The accommodation at Prestonfield House and the quality of service is out of this world. From the rooms, decor, setting and grounds to the quality of the service, food and staff, I would say a rating of 10/10 is too low. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it will go down as a special moment in our memories. And we are definitely planning to return.

    The interior designer/decorator of this gorgeous hotel is brilliant. The lush textures, the thoughtful touches, rich colors and color palettes, the coziness, quiet luxury and beauty of each room and area was just perfection. You wanted to just melt into a velvet chair or take tea next to the huge windows overlooking the city or read a book on a plush sofa in some cozy corner. Beautiful.

The bed was very comfy. Coffee machine, designer dishes, complementary brownies, iron & mini fridge were welcome extras as was free Continental breakfast in the bar/diner on the ground floor . The staff were very friendly and helpful.
