How do you know all this about Edinburgh?

We keep a curated set of 32 stays in Edinburgh and re-check them over time, rather than repeating whatever a booking site happens to show today. Connection speeds are what each place and its guests report, none of them independently measured, so read them as indicative rather than lab-tested. 17 of the 32 carry no reading at all, and unmeasured is not the same as slow. Prices are the advertised monthly rate, before any discount a host offers. Reviews are counted rather than summarised, and quotes appear word for word, attributed to a stay and a date rather than to a person. Every figure here was computed on 7 September 2026.

The finding in the reviews

Guests in Edinburgh keep raising the stairs and hills, and rarely to praise it

338 of the 4,514 reviews we read mention the stairs and hills. Of the 86 that say which way, 78 are complaints and 8 are praise. It is not the same across the city: Old Town at 234 of 1,889 reviews, Muirhouse/Salvesen at 1 of 66.
