“Review”
Given the the configuration of the hotel, there were a lot of stairs, but that is the only criticism I could find, otherwise a most enjoyable and pleasant stay in a most comfortable hotel with excellent staff who were always ready to help.
“Comfortable and cosy”
Channings is a lovely hotel. Pleasant staff. Our room was comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was lovely. We had dinner in the restaurant one evening and it was brilliant. A reall cosy hotel.
“A Great Hotel in a Great City”
We booked a four night stay at Channings for two during our city break in Edinburgh. We stayed in the Quest room. From reading other opinions of the hotel we were expecting a very pleasant stay but were completely blown away by the quality of service and standards of excellence in all aspects of the hotel. Considering the price we paid, we were not expecting such a huge room with a beautiful, and equally huge, en-suite bathroom with large bath and wet-room shower area. I believe this room is one of the photographed rooms on the website. As many other people have noted before us, the concierge team is excellent, and a rarity these days. One of the team in particular, Scott, was always available with excellent suggestions for where to go and what to see tailored to our needs. We ate breakfast every morning and also had two evening meals in the hotel restaurant and bar, food was excellent (and very good value considering the amount of food!) on almost every occassion - the cooked breakfast on the first morning was quite over-cooked (although we would have to take a share of the blame as we were very late arriving). We had read, in our opinion, petty complaints about the distance from the city centre - our experience was that it took us 15 minutes of gentle strolling to reach George Street or Princes Street then another 10 minutes to reach the top of the Royal Mile. To us this was absolutely perfect we were away from the real bustle when trying to sleep.
“Would definitely recommend”
Channings is a lovely friendly hotel. Room was spacious and comfortable and the location was quiet. Breakfast superb!
“Really comfortable and friendly hotel”
Myself, my wife and daughter spent 3 nights at Channings for a half-term city break in Edinburgh. It proved an ideal base with helpful and friendly staff. Not quite as central (10-15 mins walk or short bus ride) as some of the bigger hotels but made up for it in other ways. We were impressed to arrive in the morning, expecting to just leave our luggage until later, and finding our rooms were ready for us.
“I always feel special at the Channings.”
Not being at the center of Edinburgh activity is outweighed by its beautiful, quiet location. I always enjoyed the 10 minute walk to New Town, 15 minutes to Princess Street. The Channings has an excellent breakfast menu and a beautiful bar and restaurant.
“Peaceful stay”
The hotel might look like its a little way out from the main touristy areas on a map but its located in a very quite neighbourhood and well worth staying at. We walked into Princes Street and it only took about 15 minutes but was a nice easy paced walk. A taxi back from the Old Town area is less than a tenner if you need it anyway. Staff at the hotel and the hotel itself were excellent. Well worth considering if you're going to Edinburgh - I would look to stay here again the next time I am back for sure.
“Great hotel!”
The Channings is wonderful, a short walk from city center, (10 mins) and away from noise. The staff is wonderful too, always trying to help improve your stay. if I go back to have friends go to Scotland, no doubt I'd stay at this place!
“Splendid stay in Edinburgh”
The Channings is hidden away in the quiet backstreets of New Town, close to the Dean Bridge and within easy walking distance of Prince's Street. We found the staff to be extremely friendly, going out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We recommend it most highly to anyone taking a trip to Edinburgh and greatly look forward to returning there ourselves!
“excelent hotel”
in excelant position. had all we needed.
