No 11 Brunswick Street

My favourite place to stay in Edinburgh always impressed with the rooms, very clean and the breakfast is always fantastic.! Staff are so friendly and helpful. I recommend to everyone that asks where to stay when they visit x

We were here for two nights in a second floor room. the room was large and comfortable with a lot of storage space. the building is beautiful. we were treated by our children. we loved the location not far from the center and easy to walk from the train station. at our first evening the five-course meal was included in the price. our experience was mixed. the dining room is really quite dark and the meal was over in an hour. the price was 63.50 pounds, which were quite rich for what we ate. I would probably only choose al la carte if we came back. the fish dish just tasted from vodka and the **** a leek suppiee had no taste at all. Overall, I would recommend this hotel as the staff was very attentive and our stay was good. we loved edinburgh.

We went for an early Sunday evening meal with a very reasonable voucher of 5pm.co.uk service falling in agreement with previous reviews I would agree that the service was light haphazard, but this was mainly caused by an air that abhorse due to speech barriers. After we entered this, we found the personal to be both polite and any opportunity to deal with us and to give their own unbiased recommendations. food very good. as a set menu deal seemed the portions smaller than the without a good one, but this was perfectly reasonable for the price. my beginning at muscheln pakora was something I did not meet and was very annoying. there was no indication of dryness, as it can often be the case with pakoras. the crispy squid, who accompanied this, had a delicious dusting of seasoned. critically it also avoided any similarity with chewing a ripe that can occur so easily with the squid if a few seconds boiled too long. overall the starter was more michelin, less michelin ripen. for the first I had halibut. a favorite of me, because it is the ability to fly the lines between fish and the carnival meat of the country. it was moist while easily fled with my fork in fleshy pieces. it was accompanied by a sweet kartoffelfont, besides the fast fried earlyling wobbles and chicory. a drop-wise harbour reduction brought the plate together. the desert was a dark chocolate cheesecake with raspberry-champagner-couli. the dark chocolate was obviously, less so the baileys support. I'm more a sweet man, but the ones with a sweet tooth would have loved him. presented: beautiful personal, well-designed dishes, very inexpensive set menu (at this occasion over 5pm.co.uk) niggles: lacking drink cabinet with most ghosts and caught to be more supermarket sweep than to sweep me from my feet. first review, I will work to capture the photos in the future!

Brunswick Street is tucked in to the area between Elm Row and London Road. The row of houses that No 11 is part of is surprisingly elegant. They break with the rest of the street: elegant pillars hold porticoes that double a balconies over the entrance. The buildings are four stories, three above ground and one below, set back from the pavement so there’s light in the basement too. No 11 stands out even among this collection of houses. Its pillars and wall are painted a rich, clean gray. No 11 is one of Edinburgh’s newest boutique hotels. I went there for the launch of the No 11 Hotel and Brasserie. The hotel is beautifully restored and the rooms luxurious. It’s a small hotel and each of the 10 rooms have their own individual character. I enjoyed the hallway, with its beautiful tiles floor, bowed by years of rough treatment, and the tall staircase. The room we saw was also gorgeous: deep teal walls, a four poster bed and a luxurious bath tub made it a place I’d love to stay. But of course, since this is Edinburgh Foody, we’re even more interested in the food than the rooms. The brasserie is in the front room, a typically Georgian room with tall ceilings and elegant proportions. Diners should be comfortable here. To make it more comfortable, as well as an interesting and interactive space, it’s also a gallery. When I was there, the walls were hung with colourful pictures by Chloë Gardner. They form a conversation point as well as decoration. The brasserie aims to offer “top class food in a relaxed environment“, to quote Susan Grant, one of the two owners. Susan and husband Hamish, wants No 11 to be more than just a place where people sleep. The brasserie is open for lunch, dinner and luxury afternoon tea. Ryan Smith is the head chef. He wants to serve healthy, delicious food. Dishes that are well cooked and shows off the ingredient’s best side. He’s working on snacks and dips that are healthy as well as delicious. He thinks food should be local and seasonal, with all the flavour and colour kept in. He works with local suppliers for everything from breads through meats, cheeses, chocolate and coffee. Ryan wants the dining experience to be social and fluid. If you want to have several starters, or one main course, you can. We tried some home made chips and vegetable leathers with home made dips, and a rather pleasing mackerel on crisp bread. From the main selection, I enjoyed the lamb with a young and very sharp lime pickle. The lime pickle worked well with the lamb and I enjoyed the texture and tart flavour of the peel on the generous lime wedges. These dishes are not yet on the menu. The sample dinner stays traditional and safe with Scottish favourites like cullen skink, scallops and black pudding, wild mushroom barley risotto and smoked venison. Ryan mentioned varying portion sizes and as a meat eater with a tall vegetarian boyfriend, I know how useful that could be. The vegetarian main is often a tiny little thing, not at all sized for a regular appetite. It’ll be interesting to go back for a full meal.

Spent two nights here for the first time and found it to be a very nice place to stay. The room we had was on the basement level which looked out to the garden and was very comfortable and clean with plenty wardrobe space,etc. All the staff were very nice and polite. We just had a room only booking so didn't have any meals here although I did have breakfast on the first morning which was pretty good. A great hotel in a great location being about a 5 minute walk to the Playhouse theatre and 10 minutes to Princes Street. We'll definitely consider booking again.
