Ten Hill Place

Ten Hill Place Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Ten Hill Place for the first time, you immediately notice how it feels different from your typical hotel. This four-star property sits quietly on a residential street in Edinburgh, and honestly, that’s part of its charm — you’re staying somewhere that feels more like a well-kept secret than a tourist magnet. The building itself has this understated elegance that fits perfectly with the neighborhood’s character, and you can tell right away that couples especially gravitate toward this spot (they’ve rated the location 9.2, which makes total sense once you’re here).

The Perfect Edinburgh Base

Here’s what I love about the location — you’re actually in the best-rated area of Edinburgh according to guests, with a location score of 9.3, and I can see why. You’re close enough to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle that you can easily walk there, but far enough away that you escape the constant buzz of tourists. The neighborhood has this authentic Edinburgh feel, with those beautiful Georgian terraces and quiet streets that make you feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it. Plus, being near the university area means there are plenty of good pubs and cafes that locals actually use.

Sleep Quality That Actually Matters

You know what’s rare? A hotel that’s genuinely been highly-rated for having very comfortable beds — and Ten Hill Place delivers on this promise. I mean, after walking around Edinburgh all day (and trust me, there’s a lot of walking involved), you really appreciate sinking into a room with a bed that doesn’t leave you tossing and turning. The rooms themselves strike that balance between modern comfort and classic Scottish style, though they’re not trying too hard to be flashy about it.

Breakfast Worth Waking Up For

The breakfast situation here is actually impressive — they’ve got continental options, full English and Irish spreads, plus vegetarian, halal, and gluten-free choices served buffet-style. What I appreciate is that they’re clearly thinking about different types of travelers rather than just offering the standard hotel fare. Whether you want something light before exploring or need a proper Scottish breakfast to fuel a day of hiking up Arthur’s Seat, they’ve got you covered.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.9 rating, Ten Hill Place has figured out something important — it’s not about having the fanciest amenities or the most Instagram-worthy lobby. Instead, it’s about getting the fundamentals right in a city where location and comfort matter more than anything else. The fact that couples consistently rate it so highly tells you something about the atmosphere here — it’s peaceful, well-positioned, and just sophisticated enough without being stuffy. If you’re looking for a place that feels like Edinburgh rather than just any hotel that happens to be in Edinburgh, this is exactly what you want.
