The apartment was exceptional however one detail could improve the experience vastly; ice cubes in the freezer. It must be noted that the apartment is in a Georgian building and there is no lift and many stairs. Therefore, this accommodation could never strictly be given five stars.

We have a perfect stay at The Rutland Hotel & Apartments. The staff is so friendly and attentive. Our room has a view of the Castle and it is just gorgeous at night when the lights lit up the Castle. Even though we are on the second floor with a view of the streets, the room is very quiet. Bed and shower are very comfortable. The room is really clean. Even though the elevator does not reach the 3rd floor, staff can deliver luggage to the room. It's about a 15 minute walk from the Old Town which is an easy walk without the noise and crowd that one experiences in the Old Town. We truly enjoy our stay.

A luxury apartment this was not. We arrived and the en suite smelled like sewer. The bath needed some explaining and the apartment had no guide just a qr code for an app that didn’t exist. The pans in the kitchen didn’t work with the hob and the coffee supplied was the weakest and worst of the espresso collection. Housekeeping (if they did visit) always came at 4pm which was extremely unhelpful for a family with young kids who tried to stay out for the morning and early afternoon. The heating didn’t work in one of the rooms and needed to be sorted and everything was in various levels of disrepair. While some things did get sorted after we mentioned it, the sewer smell never went away (something they almost certainly know about with the amount of scent diffusers placed in that room. The bed in the en-suite was horribly uncomfortable and had a footboard?! It has been a long time since I’ve been in a hotel or accommodation with a footboard. The bed was essentially too short for my husband. We wouldn’t recommend it to friends and won’t be returning but unfortunately have had to learn the hard way that this was not ‘luxury apartment’.

PLS DO NOT STAY HERE! * read pls I have experienced theft during my stay. We stayed at 2bedroom. It was my second day of staying. We told front reception person that we don’t want cleaning service& only new towels in our bathroom. Bathroom was right at the front door, no need to enter two bedroom. But when we came back, rooms were cleaned and our $100 bill was stolen from an envelope that had total $700 and 100pounds. We contacted the property immediately. After manager told me they did investigation, nothing can be help for us to have the stolen money back. please please don’t stay here. It ruined our scotland trip and also rooms were overall not cleaned as well.

Lovely warm spacious apartment. Very comfy bed. Wardrobe lacked hanging space for long clothes, some coat hooks would be useful on the back of the door. The bath lacked any space to put soap/shampoo/razor; a rack would be a practical solution. Staff very helpful, breakfast delicious. Ceilings so high the spider didn’t bother me in the bathroom but the dusty towel rail did ( interesting fact: majority of dust found in bathrooms consists of other peoples dead skin cells). Having worked as a chambermaid I appreciate the hard work involved and it was very clean. One of the chandeliers in the lounge didn’t work, the kitchen bin mechanism is broken and I couldn’t get any reception on the bedroom radio but everything else was a treat. Thank you for a lovely stay. I would recommend to others and stay again.
