Rough Guide "This ex-university building turned 175-bed business-oriented hotel has comfortable rooms, some with views to the Castle. Faces the happening Grassmarket."

Afar Magazine "21212 hotel is a regal and refined restaurant with rooms in Edinburgh, where grand Georgian design meets its match in the kitchen."

The Telegraph9.0
"Rooms that are as striking as the food, displaying a sometimes surprising but always sensual contemporary/baroque style and unexpectedly leafy views. A low-key location for a high-octane operation." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "21212 Restaurant and Rooms hotel in Edinburgh with its four rooms might be small, but it has loads on offer." Full review
Independent "Their vision was to marry the best of Scottish produce with refined, if slightly eccentric, hospitality, carving out a unique space in the capital. No one has done it better since."
