I like how it’s easy access to the bus stop going and back to the city centre.

Rowena Canada

The hotel is situated in a very location on the south side of the city. The room was perfect for the two of us, spotlessly clean and very quiet. Breakfast was perfectly adequate and of good quality ingredients.

Graham United Kingdom

perfect location for walks in hermitage. good restaurant.

Ann United States of America

Attractive room with lovely view, very comfortable bed and good bathroom. Room radiator was not working but oil radiator was more or less ok Breakfast was good for the price we paid Appreciated the free parking Convenient location Staff were friendly and helpful

Philip United Kingdom

I stayed in a standard double room for four nights. Room was very comfortable, very warm and you can control the temperature as you want. In addition, room and bathroom are spacious. Breakfast was amazing and has a variety of choices, a very delicious Scottish breakfast. Hotel was built in the 17th century and resembles a castle. Furthermore, there is a bus stop just next to the hotel if you want to go up to the centre. Reception staff were very friendly and kind. And finally, they have a very cute cat, called MAGNIS and stays in the reception most of the time. I highly recommend this hotel.

the hotel was a little way out the centre about 20 minutes bus ride, we stayed in the room you. can see in the picture with the turret, this allowed to see Edinburgh castle and the port in the distance were the Britannia is docked. parking spaces are in abundance,we just left the car and used public transport as it was so reliable and cheap to use . the staff at the hotel was very helpful and friendly. the food w was good but expensive with Very little to choose from. a meal for two no pudding.with fouror five drinks (Guinness and a spiced rum and coke £16) total night's cost£130, a bit steep
