The Howard an Ascend Hotel Collection Member

We stayed a single night in the Howard hotel and were very happy with our experience. The hotel is old-world very well located and in a lovely building. The staff are friendly and always ready to help. The dinner was excellent and the breakfast wonderful. The long bath in the en-suite meant you could stretch out and relax and the hotel felt intimate and hidden. I would totally recommend it.

The location is a little bit hard to find because it looks so similar with the other houses. But, the hotel itself is superb! Unexpectedly great service and great interior. Feels old yet authentic at once! The breakfast is good too, there's a dedicated waiter for your table. Overall, I enjoyed my stay there!

While The Howard is not residing in a central location of Edinburgh, I found having it only a few blocks from the center of town better since tourists and noise level were at a minimum. It made the experience more relaxing, especially given the number of people who were willing to help you. I don't think I carried my bags once. Besides that, the rooms were beautiful. The beds luxurious; and splurging on the tasting dinner was well worth it. The chef at this hotel was a wonderful cook! I would go back again and again and recommend my family and friends to do so as well.
