Time Out "The four guestrooms above Paul Kitching's restaurant, which opened here in spring 2009, have the same visual panache as his celebrated cooking." Full review
Afar Magazine "21212 hotel is a regal and refined restaurant with rooms in Edinburgh, where grand Georgian design meets its match in the kitchen."
Fodor's "In a grand Georgian house, the restaurant is sumptuously appointed. Belle époque decor and quirky cultlery makes this a perfect destination for couples, who should ask for a romantic...window table." Full review
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."

The Telegraph7.0
"There is nothing subtle about this recently-refurbished hotel, which has cleverly reinvented itself as fun-central — shrinking violets need not apply." Full review
Independent "The ideal choice for party animals. It’s fun and funky, albeit compact and snug, and right in the midst of the raucous stag and hen do-packed pubs of the Grassmarket. "
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"An endearingly quirky hotel set in a historic Grassmarket tenement in the heart of the Old Town." Full review
