We had a very good experience with the hotel, the apartments are really well conserved and have an excellent location, just a kilometer away from waverly bridge where the buses from the airport arrive and which is the center of the city.

Fantastic location and friendly and helpful staff. What more could you want - except a better price. (The price was ok for the location and amenities, however). I would definitly stay here again if the need arose.

We have stayed with Blue Rainbow several times, here in Edinburgh and at both the Manchester venues. This time we had a nice little apartment on the ground floor overlooking the garden. Everything was spotlessly clean as usual and very comfortable. Convenient location for the city centre, which is within walking distance. Parking is a bit of a chore if... More

We stayed in a Studio Apartment, very spacious room, and bathroom, open plan kitchen, fully equipped at a very short distance from the Old Town. The receptionist, Alex could not be more helpful, very kind, approachable and friendly. Will definitely stay there again.

We stayed in a two bedroom apartment, very spacious and VERY comfortable beds. Good central location with everything in walking distance including the train station for day trips out. Staff were efficient and helpful. It was a lovely touch to have milk, juice and cereals waiting in the room. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

This was the perfect place to spend a weekend away in a small group. It was great to have a lounge area to spend some chill out time before going out in the evening. It is in a very central location and it is easy to walk anywhere in the city from here. I love Edinburgh and will certainly keep... More

My family of three really enjoyed staying at the Blue Rainbow. First, it is in an ideal location, and it's an easy walk to all the major destinations. We usually just book a hotel room when we travel, but we got very spoiled by our spacious apartment with two bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, and a large sitting area. The... More
