Rough Guide "A five-star hostel just off the Royal Mile, with 622 beds in twin rooms or dorms. Women-only rooms are available."
Afar Magazine "Hostels - the word alone is strong enough to awaken the worst feelings in the world." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A good example of a competitive new style of hostel accommodation: less relentlessly wholesome than a traditional rambler’s rest but not a party-animal pit." Full review
OysterBudget
"Part hostel, part residence hall, the budget Safestay Edinburgh is a young, casual property with a party atmosphere." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"A big (620 beds), bright, modern hostel that feels more like a hotel... A huge bar and a central location just off the Royal Mile make this a favourite place to stay for the young, party-mad crowd." Full review

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."
