The location of the propery is excellent, just a short walk from Calton Hill, Leith Walk and the St James Quarter. We booked the property for a week during the festival for a wedding. When we turned up at 5pm, we had to do some cleaning, removing nappies, lumps of hair and washing out mould from the bathroom bins and then we had to go out and buy toilet paper and hand soap for the bathrooms without them. It wasn't a great arrival experience and the next day, it felt like a joke apology, we recieved some doughnuts for two thirds of the party and a bottle of prosecco which didn't get drunk. There wasn't any washing up items either, so another early trip to the shop to get them. The king size beds were often pushed together singles too which felt a bit poorly advertised. Lastly, the downstairs toilet had holes in the wall and smelt of cavity wall, but we were just told in the email beforehand this was the way things were. For a lot of money spent for staying for a family wedding it was a poor experience, missing the basic considerations of a rental and I think if you're spending this amount of money then look for somewhere that's got the basic covered, then plus that something special which should be about the same price.
Whatâs great property! Wow. Incredibly close to the main attractions, yet still quiet with accessible eateries and shopping. Across from Calton Hill and St. James Quarter. Plenty of space for 5 adults. En suites are a big bonus for privacy. Enjoyed the family areas to gather for a meal or movie, fireplace for mood. Will certainly visit this home again. Room downstairs avoided my in-laws from going up and down. Laundry/ extra downstairs toilet is spacious. Kitchen had the necessary to cook breakfast and dinners. Overall, a lovely property to admire and to recharge in.
Pristine house with high ceilings and 5 FULL bedrooms with attached master baths. The walls and doors are thick so you cannot hear the other guests â this was perfect for our group as we were aged 2-78 and everyone was on different sleep schedules. Multiple playgrounds, groceries, coffee shops, and restaurants within close walking distance. 2 minute walk to the airport tram. Perfect place for groups to stay
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.
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.
This house leant a real luxury feel to our stay in Edinburgh. Gorgeously appointed, it easily accommodated my family group of 7. Every bedroom has a large bed and en suite bathroom, and most of the bathrooms had heated floors. Conveniently located within walking distance of the Royal Mile, restaurants, and shopping. Loved it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our family of 7, three generations, thoroughly enjoyed this house. It was in a quiet neighborhood, lots of space for everyone and a terrific kitchen. Couldnât have asked for anything better!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Top Hat House. We were a family of 6 adults (3 couples) and one toddler, and the house was perfect for our needs. The layout is excellent, it is well-appointed, and it's in a great location for accessible sight-seeing but is also fairly quiet.
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.
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!
The Top Hat House is in an amazing Georgian tenement building in a lovely part of Edinburgh not too far from Princes Street. The accommodation is spacious, modern and stylish; which meant we could do Edinburgh in style. Perfect to see all the wonderful things that the City of Edinburgh has to offer. Would strongly recommend it!
