We stayed here as part of an It is On deal and it was just wonderful. I would definitely return. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the Royal Mile and a 5 - 10 minute walk from the NCP car park (which you receive a generous discount on through the hotel). The hotel feels new as everything is so clean and fresh.
It is very modern and the decor is lovely. We had a superior room - big, spacious, airy, 2 fluffy robes and slippers, lovely toiletries and Borders chocolates as part of the It is On deal! The staff were helpful, friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. We had breakfast over the 2 days and a lovely meal on our first night.

Lovely hotel situated go the heart of the old town and not far away from the main attractions in Edinburgh. A very smart bar and restaurant area are on the ground floor. We stayed over Christmas and it was very pleasant. We ate go the restaurant on Christmas Day and the food was very good. We were upgraded to a better room on arrival which made the stay even better.

Nice clean and tidy hotel in a quiet corner of Edinburgh, just off a main road. Walkable to everything but since it's set back a little you don't get a lot of loud foot traffic. I had a cool view of the crags and hidden gardens and Victorian houses that give Edinburgh such character. The breakfast is nice and make time for the bar- shout-out to Emily the bartender, she was so friendly and made great drink suggestions! And great drinks!

Loved the central but somewhat private quaint location, room was an absolute dream and kitted with all things which make life sweeter: slippers, robe, Brodies collection of tea, coffee and biscuits, cozy armchairs and strategically placed lamps 😊 Very nice to have glass mugs and tumblers. Only downside the shower gel is never replenished, you must ask for it at reception 😳🙄 I understand all this green thing, but I found it extreme and unnecessary. This is a 4* hotel, people wanna feel spoilt and relaxed, not stressing over a shower gel 😊 Cosy bar area, beautiful Christmas decorations

This hotel is in a really interesting part of town and is well located for access to pubs, restaurants, bars and theater.
The hotel itself is part of the historic buildings found there and is really well set up. We did not eat in the restaurant, however, it looked really nice with various rooms and little nooks to have a quiet meal in. Our room was spacious and the staff helpful and friendly. Our only negative comment was there was no soap/shampoo in the room. Luckily we always travel with our own, however, for the price you pay you may expect that to be supplied.
As we had our own we did not

Great location, close to museums, castle and Arthur's Seat for example, and mostly friendly staff. Rooms are clean (aside from stains on one of the pillows) and spacious. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable and did not make it easy to recover after a long day of walking.
Good breakfast, sadly pastries were only served on weekends so I missed out.
Had dinner once and it was a bit pricey but nice, picture of the salmon starter attached.

We had a lovely stay. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Lovely food and good selection of drinks. Nice clean room and the best shower I've ever had!
Only negative point was what I assume is emergency lighting in the room, that we couldn't turn off so there was quite a bright green light once the main lights were off but otherwise no complaints

I'm giving this hotel 5 stars for the people. Andrew at the bar is amazing. I am not a fan of whisky, or whiskey (gasp!), but he worked with me and came up with a great one where my lip did not curl and I enjoyed it. I also learned how to taste whisky, by adding water. He was a great teacher, as well as the rest of the bar staff. They all helped me in deciding what to do on a rainy day. Great people. The hotel was clean and in a central location. The food at the hotel was also superb. I really like the scone, and the salmon.

This is a wonderful hotel that supports the royal college of surgeons! A rather hearty full English and Scottish breakfast is included with your room which is fantastic. The tea served here is delicious. The restaurant here for dinner is also very good! I loved dessert of salted Caramel mouse and the braised ox cheek. I was here for a week and enjoyed my stay and it is very convenient to walk to anything you need to attend in the area. The hotel was also very quiet and the bed was very comfortable.

We managed to get a room here from one of those 'Oops, we've left it a bit late!'- type websites and compared to how much other, similar style hotels cost in this vicinity I think we got a really good deal. It took us a wee while, with some shouting at Google Maps, to find the place but as soon as we figured out where it was in relation to places we've been to before (I recognised Elephants & Bagels nearby) it was a pretty good location. Just off a main road and therefore both quiet and handy for getting about. It's about a brisk 15 minute walk here from Waverley Station

Located in central Edinburgh, Ten Hill Place Hotel is 10 minutes' walk from the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and other major tourist attractions. The hotel is owwned by Edinburgh University but is a long way off student digs of old with the Uni venturing into the hotel market for the first time. Its a contemporary style 4 star Hotel and offers complimentary Wi-Fi throughout all bedrooms and public spaces.
Each rooms has a sleek bathroom, a flat-screen TV with freeview channels, king or super-king beds and on the top floor, the four Sky-line rooms include an exercise bike, a mini fridge

The hotel itself is in a great location and situated a short walk from the royal mile and Edinburgh castle and the old town bits. For location this place gets 5 stars.
The room were given on the other had did leave a bit to be desired. The bed was not great and sunk in the middle a bit. Never a great thing when you are trying to share a double bed. The bar was backing onto our room so you could hear the piano player all evening. Don't get me wrong I do love piano but not for an entire evening :-)
The staff were friendly and the check on process was relatively straightforward. The wifi was

Popped in here on Sat night for a quick bite to eat pre-threatre. The service was a quite slow despite the bar not being busy and it took a wee while for the waitress to take our order and then for the food to arrive. We ended up having to eat it in about 5 mins to make the theatre in time.
We opted for the tapas menu and shared 6 dishes between us. It was just the right amount:
Chicken skewers; Beef pie; crispy potatoes; chicken/haggis ballotine; mushrooms on toast; and lamb meatballs. It was nice and reaonably priced: £5 for one dish; £13 for three or £20 for 5. There was a good selection

Ten Hill Place is a lovely hotel, I stayed for just one night, my room was not as big as sugested on the website, but maybe other rooms were bigger, still it was clean and comfortable. We didn't eat in the resaurant as we overheard a diner complaining that there was meat in her vegetarian dish, however we did have breakfast which was great. Downside for me was the bar is really expensive, 2 white wines and a martini & lemonade came in at £23.30 so I'm glad we just had the one round. I booked with laterooms and got a fairly good rate and would stay again if the rate was good. However

I totally agree with Fiona H, you would never know this place was here unless you went looking for it!
But once you've found it - you've struck gold!
It's one of the better places in Edinburgh to stay in, it's quiet, it's trendy enough and it's central! If you know Edinburgh, it's a good place to stay. Because of its location, in Newington, if you don't know the city then you'll end up spending quite a bit of money on taxi's, when it's a perfectly nice 15 min walk from the city centre.
Have a look online, there is usually a decent deal

You'd hardly even notice that this hotel exists unless you were looking for it; it's nestled behind the Royal Colege of Surgeons just off Nicolson Street.
That's one of the great things about it - it's in a really central location but it's not noisy like so many other city centre hotels.
Aesthetically, the view from the outside probably won't blow you away. Think functional and minimalist, with lots of glass and metal. The rooms, on the other hand, were inviting and comfortable and bigger than you'd get in a lot of city centre places.

I stayed here at the start and end of my Scotland trip. Above-average hotel in a quiet location just a few blocks south of the Royal Mile, far enough away from the fray. It's not a lovely place; sort of modern blah style. Honestly, I didn't think much from the lobby when coming in but my room was much better; quiet, comfortable, with a large, clean bathroom and flatscreen TV; my second room was even better, about double the size and on a higher floor. There's no wi-fi in the rooms, but there is an ethernet cable and no charge for access; there is also free wi-fi in the cafe.

Ten Hill Place Hotel is adjacent to the Royal College of Surgeons complex on Nicholson Street, and is actually owned and run by the College. (Profits are used to the benefit of the College's work).
Hill Place is just off Nicholson Street, and is a small, leafy square, which my room overlooked. I was staying on a package (£81 B&B) which was considerably below the rack rate, and for this I found it offered very good value for money. The area is not quite as swish as the New Town - you'll pass a few drunks and some odd looking characters (appalling dentistry seemed to be their characteristic
