Michelin Guide
"Classic Georgian townhouse concealing a funky, boutique interior... Luxurious."
Concierge
"It's an enclave for local thirty- and fortysomething professionals who aren't into the tartan-and-whisky charm of their forebears' haunts and want to party in a cool urban scene."
Oyster
Upscale
"The Tigerlily is housed in an historic Georgian townhouse, but inside, it's thoroughly modern." Full review
Rough Guide
"A glitzy boutique hotel, bar and restaurant that epitomizes the new “gorgeous” George St. A classic Georgian townhouse transformed into a flamboyant design extravaganza."
Time Out
"The bedrooms are designed to the hilt... this remains one of the best-loved hotels in the city, to say nothing of its visually opulent bar, restaurant or nightclub." Full review
Frommer's
"The 33 rooms and suites ooze sex appeal, seductively outfitted in bright Designers Guild fabrics, bespoke four posters." Full review
The Telegraph

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 Telegraph
8.0
"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
Oyster
Budget
"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
