Native Edinburgh

Excellent room and quality bed. Very quiet room. Simple breakfast in a bag was adequate. There for the Fringe and the central location was excellent. Staff very helpful.

No room cleaning/service included so you have to pay extra for this. When you pay 2K GBP for 7 nights in a studio (Fringe period so I understand accommodation is expensive), I think its pretty petty not to include this, even if its just 2-3 times.

The location of Native was great - Queen Street is relatively quiet (we were on first floor and didn't hear any traffic noise), but it's still really near the shops and restaurants of George St and Princes St for the gardens and the castle. The staff were very friendly and happy to chat about local attractions. I normally travel with or request extra pillows, which the Native team were happy to provide, although I really didn't need them as the pillows we had in our room were super thick! The room, kitchen area and bathroom were spotless. (I have seen previous reviews mentioning no parking or the rooms not being turned over each day - firstly, Edinburgh is an old city - the hotel is in the Georgian 'New Town' - and was never made to accommodate parking, so visitors with cars will need to consider where the nearest parking is beforehand and shouldn't blame the hotel. Secondly, to reviewers complaining about having the rooms turned over - it's an apart/hotel!! the reason people stay here is to have a degree of privacy and being self sufficient whilst being in the centre of a city - if you're the type who *needs* new towels and someone coming in to clean up after you each day - book a traditional hotel! 🙄)

I think there may have been some confusion re. our check out time - we were advised upon check in that this could be flexible, I think as we were staying for 4 nights - later in the stay, when I asked if we could have 12pm check out, I was charged £10, but upon checkout was told our checkout time was already 2pm No biggie - it didn't ruin the stay, but it's work checking!

Helpful staff, nice furnishings and atmosphere. very comfy pillows and nice to have a smart TV. Excellent location & nice period property.

Only had one large towel (we were a couple), no freezer for ice cream I bought at the shop, there was a wrapper and can of deodorant left in the room from previous guests and the walls were quite thin - so we heard people from the corridor and other rooms which made it feel less private.

great location! lovely facilities, nice big room with nice decor and comfy bed. Surprisingly quiet too so got a very good nights rest.

housekeeping was a little sloppy - shower soap was missing (although quickly remedied when I enquired) and bin was left out without a bag. Would have appreciated staff explaining the laundry room and milk dispenser (which is in the laundry room) upon arrival too - or a welcome card in the room with that info would have been fine.

Apartment had everything we needed for a short break and really comfortable to return to after a day exploring the city. A short walk to bars, restaurants and old town attractions but far enough away to be very quiet. Staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly. Luggage can be stored for early arrival or for a bit of extra time in the city after checkout.

Really spacious and clean room. We were surprised, by how big the room actually was Very nice and friendly staff. We could leave our luggage after checkout without additional payment. The hotel was quiet no one disturbed our sleep. The heating was working perfectly, towels were changed frequently. The hotel is suitable for people with disabilities. Location is god ~15min walk from the castle and old town. If we will travel to Edinburgh again we will consider this hotel as a place to stay.

Just small things for improvement: * It would be useful to find a sponge and some dish soap in the room. I know that dishwasher is available in the room, but to start a dishwasher for 2 mugs seems strange to us, so we kept dirty dishes for several days, to make the dishwasher more full. * Shower curtain would be nice. I understand that it is made for people with disabilities to be more comfortable, but water splashes everywhere in bathroom. * Something with bedsheets and my skin went wrong. Maybe it's a washing product used by the hotel or something else, but my skin was rashed after a sleep in a hotel bed and the rash was expanding every day. This rash disappeared after I came back home.

Absolutely incredible stay with Native. Such a fantastic location, upgraded us on arrival which was such a lovely surprise. Rooms were super clean, not one thing out of place. So spacious with lovely views. Probably one of the best places I’ve stayed in a long long time. Thank you!

Absolutely nothing

Selfcatering appartments in the heart of New Town. Lobby is a nice place to hang out with good free coffee.

This hotel was under different management before 2020 and has got more expensive and a bit less friendly. The selfcatering kitchen is not very well stocked. Only small cups and plates. The milk in the fridge had gone off. Place good do a bit better in service.

The location of Native edinburgh is amazing! We found most things we wanted to do or see were within 10-15 mins walking distance. There are some great bars nearby and it very much felt we were in the heart of the city. The staff were all so lovely, welcoming and helpful. Having a small kitchen was really useful if we wanted to take a rest from exploring the city and relax in our room, it was really comfortable and the property was really clean with great facilities.

The only thing was the bed and pillows were a little soft for my liking which is simply a personal preference. also it would have been nicer to have a slightly bigger bed.

Room was well equipped for my husband and my son to stay over for one night for his graduation. The staff had made up a single bed in living room.

The breakfast was very disappointing for the price we paid for one night - to be honest it almost wasn't worth giving us our bag of breakfast as none of it was very good quality or what we wanted so probably would be best to sell room as breakfast not included really then we would have bought our own to make in the well equipped apartment.
