I cherished my stay at Roseate. Here’s what you should know before booking. THE ROOMS: - I stayed in a suite on floor one for the majority of my stay and switched to a small room on floor 3 for the final night. The suite was stunning. The room that dreams are made of with beautiful linens and a massive tub and nice touches like a Nespresso machine, kettle and homemade shortbreads. Negative - rooms on floor 1 are literally at the entrance with is also where check in and luggage store happens as well as entrance to the restaurant and bar so it was really loud. At multiple points people were clearly standing right outside of my door having VERY loud conversations and 2 mornings people were sitting right outside of my window having coffee and loud convos - it was jarring to open my blinds and be greeted by strangers staring back at me. I think the room was worth the disruptions but if you’re particularly sensitive to noise - FYI. The room upstairs was very small but very quiet. I wouldn’t want to spend more than 2 nights in such a small room especially if I was sharing it with somebody but the property is worth experiencing so if that’s what’s available - do it! THE SERVICE: Impeccable service from the front desk staff. Restaurant service was hit and miss. The ladies were really on top of it but on day 3 the staff changed and there also must have been an influx of guests because the gents working breakfast were so overwhelmed and just seemed to really struggle. They were still really polite and accommodating but the quality of service wasn’t as high as it had been. THE FOOD: Breakfast was included with my stay and it appeared that it’s included for anybody staying in the main house. The breakfast selections were vast. The food was incredible. The dining room is gorgeous. It was an absolutely wonderful way to start each day. I also had dinner one night and a few other small bites. The food was expertly prepared and while I found it a bit over priced it was very delicious. TLDR: Exceptional and very special stay. I’d highly recommend Roseate Edinburgh. 2 final thoughts - It’s a bit outside of central Edinburgh so if want to be a short walk from the main tourist attractions this might be too far for you. It’s a 30-minute walk so when the weather is nice, it’s lovely. It’s also a short uber. The signature scent they constantly pump into the hotel restaurant is soooooo overwhelming it is nauseating. I don’t know how the staff doesn’t get migraines from it. I hated HATED having to be constantly inundated with such a strong scent especially when trying to enjoy food. 1/10 dial it back!!

We booked the Roseate Edinburgh as the base for our wedding weekend, and it was absolutely perfect. From the very start, the team took on board every detail we requested, and by the time the big weekend arrived, everything felt seamless. We hosted three events at the hotel—a cocktail party, family dinner, and BBQ—and the service was outstanding throughout. Every one of our 60+ guests commented on how friendly and attentive the staff were, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Special thanks to Alexander, Edward, Zoltan, and Olivia, who went above and beyond for us. Chef Borah created a fantastic meal for our family dinner on Friday, and General Manager Parvez kept everything running smoothly while making sure my new husband(!) and I were always looked after. The icing on the cake was returning to our room after the wedding to find flowers, gifts, and a signed card from the Roseate team—such a thoughtful and personal touch. The experience, service, and atmosphere made it worth every penny. We’d love to come back, perhaps for our anniversary!

The staff went out of their way to help us feel welcome, and they went the extra mile of helping us get our luggage upstairs to our rooms. The food, accommodations and service were great

An amazing time spent at the Roseate Edinburgh. Beautiful hotel, high end furnishings. Bedrooms a great size with magnificent high ceilings and original mouldings. Staff and service were exceptional, so professional, friendly and accommodating, a special call out to Zoltan who was amazing from the first call to book our stay right through to when we checked out - thank you for being so kind, welcoming and making us feel like VIPs. Dinner was lovely although the menu a little limited, but outstanding locally sourced produce. Finally, breakfast was amazing! Perfectly poached eggs, smooth rich hollandaise sauce, beautifully fresh pastries and fruits… Thank you all for a wonderful experience

Incredible experience. The breakfast was incredible, and the mattress was from another planet. I even sent them an email afterwards asking for the brand they use
