"We loved the Knight Residence and will be back!"
What a terrific surprise this place is. Tucked in a fabulous location, really well appointed, terrific staff and secure carparking! The rooms were comfortable, clean and stylish. The apartments are well insulated and private. The `starter pack` for breakfast was brilliant. The cafe across the road is amazing with quality barista made coffee. Sainsbury`s on the doorstep. We couldn`t have asked for more.

"Very comfortable and relaxing stay!"
3rd time at the knight residence and it is still one of my favourite places in Scotland for a city break. The one downside (not the hotels fault) is the noise on weekends at the front of the hotel from the footfall at the "Bars" on the corner. Too many stag nights for my liking. As all the 1 bedroom units are on the front of the building there is really no escape. Unless there is a plan for some serious new windows then I guess it is unavoidable. Time to look elsewhere for us. As ever, I cannot fault the service, welcome and facilities.

"Convenient location and great amenities"
Apartment of very high standard. Would recommend to others. It is close to some strip clubs, didn`t cause us any problems (we stayed on a Fri and Sat night) but worth bearing in mind if this bothers you.

"Wonderful"
The apartment was clean, spacious, well equipped, warm. Could not ask for anything more and we all wished we could have extended our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, so that taxis, meals out and our day trips went without a hitch. Stress free. Loved it and would highly recommend the Knight Residence to anyone.
AWESOME. 5STARS!
