The property is even prettier in person! Check in was easy and communication with the owners was very thorough. The house is beautifully decorated with lots of natural light and in a fabulous location.
Memorial golf trip in Scotland, honoring my father.
The lodging was at least as nice as advertised. Location was excellent in city center would definitely consider it again if I were traveling with a group requiring that many bedrooms and staying in Edinburgh.
A beautiful well-appointed house in a great location. Easy to walk around the city from here but bus and tram stops very nearby too. The house is gorgeous and felt like home the moment we arrived.
This is the Tophat place for a reason. Great location, great spacious house, great hosts. We had 9 of us there for almost a week; youngest was 17 oldest was 80. The five bedrooms each with on-suite bathrooms were tastefully decorated and well appointed. We all felt the hose offered all that we needed for our large family.
The Top Hat House was great. Plenty of room for the 9 of us. Clean, comfortable and well located. Near restaurants. I would gladly stay here again if we return to Edinburgh.
This house exceeded all our expectations. Great location, easy parking, beautiful interiors, very spacious, well designed. Faultless. Accommodated 9 adults with ease, we felt we were in our own private hotel. thank you so much for letting us stay.
Beautiful property, excellent location. We were a group of 5 siblings aged 60 to 75. We loved our stay here, everything about the house suited us well.
Nine friends from London/Kent/Essex in Edinburgh for a few days to celebrate some milestone birthdays.
So impressed with this beautiful house, and it was perfect for our needs.
Also a great location, we were able to walk to Arthur's Seat in about 15 mins. Cheap Ubers in and out of the main centre for our nightly escapades.
We were traveling with extended family and for all nine of us this was a terrific place to stay. The house was roomy and well appointed. The location was excellent, within easy walking distance of major attractions.
This is an amazing property, very comfortable and spacious ,great location,walking distance to restaurants, train and attractions. 3 days we're too short I wish we could have stayed longer.
Our family stayed here for our daughters wedding . It was a lovely and spacious home to celebrate the special event. The owner , Jane, was very helpful when we contacted with a couple of queries. Would recommend it for a peaceful and elegant stay in the centre of the city.
This is a gorgeous, well appointed luxury property. There were a few things, like missing or burned out lightbulbs in some of the lamps in the bedrooms. But overall it's a great location and perfect for a large group.
Traveling w a big family is hard. But Hillside Crescent made our trip easy. We rent a lot of homes and I highly recommend this place. Itâs location and size are incredible. We loved the short walk over the park to the city center. And everything about it.
Beautiful townhouse. There was enough room for all of us (10 people). Wish we could have stayed longer. It was a little challenging to find it initially. We will be back.
The Top Hat was beautiful! The pictures did not do it justice! We had a group of 10 and the space was perfect! The location was ideal, we had everything we needed. Communication with the host could have been better however Jane indicated some difficulties with the vrbo app. I would highly recommend this property.
We absolutely loved our stay at Top Hat House. We came to Edinburgh to visit our daughter who is getting her masters at the University of Edinburgh and decided to have a large family/friends holiday at the same time. The house was well equipped and easily accommodated 8 adults comfortably. The location was convenient and an easy walk to most tourist sites. There is no shortage of good restaurants nearby and the kitchen was well enough equipped for a large roast dinner we cooked one evening. Could use a few more paper products like paper towels and napkins but that really is nitpicking. Highly recommend!
Quite the Top Hat. From a 13 year old to an 81 year old the house fitted us all. The living spaces were more than adequate but the bedrooms had little or no space to hang clothes. Especially the downstairs bedroom!! A small problem but needs to be addressed. We would stay there again should we return to Edinburgh
Quite frankly the 5 bedroom, 5 full bath property was even more gorgeous in person. Huge ceilings, great decor! Well situated for walking around.
We were 9 adults and all were happy with this pick of a property.
We cooked once, well equipped kitchen.
My only opportunity comment, I paid for early check in and that wasn't an issue, first guest arrived at noon, I noticed stair carpet wasn't vacuumed and bad of dirty linen was in front door foyer, was picked up within the hour, that's probably nit picking but I did pay for it.
Beautiful place in Edinburgh that easily accommodated our large group. So nice to have individual suites with attached bathrooms too!
Very nice modern accommodations, but there are some repairs and TLC needed from a maintenance perspective - broken blinds in a few rooms, plugged shower drain in one bathroom, also some essentials need to be restocked - ran out of trash bags, the nspresso pods provided donât fit the non nspresso machine, no basic spices (salt, pepper), we didnât get a welcome gift in the refrigerator as promised⊠some little things like that that could be better from an experience perspective. Also communication with host fell off completely during our stay, previous to that was good, so not sure what happened there.
Otherwise, it was a wonderful place! Would stay again
My group of 10 adults came to Edinburgh to celebrate my 50th birthday party. This house is exactly as billed. It is modern, clean, stylish, and the bedrooms are delightful. Every couple having their own bathroom was key. We also appreciated the washer and dryer and the well appointed kitchen. We cooked in one night and the kitchen was extremely functional. The location was excellent and we were able to walk to most of the sites. We dined across the street at the Gardener's Cottage our first night and my group that it was one of the best meals they had.
Jane was delightful to work with. We truly could not have asked for more. The noise from London Road in the front bedrooms can be a bit noisy but it was not a big problem at all. I would definitely recommend this beautiful house while on a visit with a large group to Edinburgh. Thank you so much Jane.
Absolutely beautiful, spacious and fantastic location
I booked TopHat House for a long weekend with 8 of my friends. The house is breathtaking - it is designed so elegantly on a grand scale. It had everything we needed and more. The kitchen was stocked with larder items and a nice little food package was left for us on our first night. We spent most of our time in the kitchen.
The bedrooms were really spacious and to get an en-suite with every bedroom is unheard of usually.
The location is just brilliant - we were about a 30 minute walk to the castle and grassmarket area and the same again in the opposite direction to Arthurâs Seat. The shops are also literally round the corner. The best breakfast is served at the Italian on the corner - I think itâs called Made in Italy - its food was really good.
Jane was also great too at keeping in touch and responding really quickly to messages. Even when we were there.
Thank you so much for allowing to stay. We all were in awe of the house and it is by far the nicest place any of us have stayed in.
Best wishes

Iâve had the pleasure of staying at many wonderful properties around the world such as the Four Seasons in Bora Bora and Taj Lake Palace in Udaipur. This beautiful recently refurbished Georgian is in that league.
The house easily accommodated our party of 6 (two families). The rooms are spacious, very well appointed and immaculate. The house has everything you need, including the most comprehensive set of amenities I have encountered with a rental. We also appreciated the handwritten notes sprinkled around the house which explained how to use various appliances. Every place is different so this personal touch saved us time because we didnât have to figure out things ourselves.
The interior designer did an excellent job; the house is stylish yet comfortable. My friends commented that they didnât want to leave the house! However, that wasnât an option as Edinburgh has so much to offer. The property is also very conveniently located; a very short taxi ride to the Old Town, Waverley Station or Leith. We actually walked to the Old Town a couple of times.
I highly recommend this house and I will definitely try to stay here again if I am ever back in Edinburgh.
