No 11 Brasserie

We arrived early, around 9am after a 18 hour travel day from US. The staff was amazingly helpful. They allowed us to leave our suitcases in the check in area so that we could go roaming the City until check in time. We were exhausted when we arrived so the staff made us the best coffees for a recharge that we enjoyed in the fabulous garden. The rooms were super comfortable. The full Scottish breakfast delicious! And deserts…oh my!!!! I highly recommend No 11. It’s walkable to Princess and Royal Mile but far enough to be out of the hustle and bustle of the City. Loved this place and the staff.

Lovely garden + lovely room (a few steps to get to our room though!); the only let-down was a broken fan (replaced, but still not great), and an unseasonably warm September when we stayed here. Staff helpful, eager to please, and the location and proximity to spots we wanted to visit during our stay made it fantastic as a result. Impressive-looking bath in the living room (?!) not enjoyed by us, but the huge bathroom was a treat. A solid three-star, we thought, though the staff + garden raised it to a four! Thank you for everything.

We have just spent 3 nights here in the mini-suite (which is really a larger room with a sofa) as part of our Flying Scotsman tour, from London to Aberdeen. Great location 15min walk from the station that thus provides a much less touristy, much quieter, local/suburban vibe in a City full of tourists. I love period properties, so this provided a welcome respite from the hustle & bustle of tourist town. Staff are charming, food is excellent. Do book.
