This property is a lot of fun. It is stylishly decor has a lot of personality. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous. I stayed in the Georgian mini suite, and it was exceptional. The only slight drawback is that I could hear slight thumping coming from the club two stories below.

This hotel is very eclectic. Very cool decor and super friendly staff. Breakfast was included and was delicious. Beautiful large restaurant and bar area that was very busy but no noise that bothered us in our room. Room was spacious. Would be happy to stay there again if we get back to Edinburgh.

We came in late at night and the desk clerk who also seemed to be the waiter, bartender and bellman helped us to our room . His gracious attitude made us feel welcome. After traveling hard on a 5 day equestrian tour- the room was big, inviting and comfortable. We would stay here again.

Overall good with a few things to improve on.

This was a generally good experience, but there were some things to improve on. The welcome at Reception could have been better. We also asked for a call when the room was ready (as we arrived early), but we received no call. The room was overall good and clean, but the pillows were very lumpy, which in addition to being uncomfortable, does not make you feel good about sleeping on them as it implies they are too worn. I consider regular pillow maintenance as a basic for any good hotel. The floors also creaked very loudly any time you moved around. That said, the restaurant is excellent. The staff and food were so good. I would say to definitely go to the restaurant, but I would probably not stay in the hotel if I had other good options available nearby.

Tigerlily Edinburgh

The hotel is beautiful. Finding the reservation desk was a little tricky. It is not up front like you would expect. The room was very spacious and so was the bathroom. The floors were a little squeaky but then again it is a very old building. Hot chocolate, bottled water and biscuits cookies were also in the room. They did have a mini bar with drinks and snacks if you wanted to purchase. The hotel was a short walk from the train station in New Town and to walk back to Old Town was a 15 minute walk. I would definitely stay here again. Even the bar was amazing!!!

Great room, lovely staff, relaxed vibe.

Huge, well appointed room with exceptionally comfortable bed. Had a lovely two night stay. What’s more, people we were catching up with who were staying in another hotel commented on how good the atmosphere was at Tigerlily, and how much more relaxed things felt being a bit set back in the New Town area.
