Staff very well informed & eager to share knowledge re local events - saved near disaster on departure time due to local traffic.

Pamela United States of America

Exceptional place to stay in Edinburgh, You may say that the hotel is fat from the center but it's location on the hill gives You a wonderful view on the castle and surroundings. Well maintened building, which we found very British style decorated - there was even a library room! Spacious room with comfortable beds, delicious breakfast, friendly and open employees - it all completes the picture. Brilliant location to stay, we would like to come back here again.

Michał Poland

The room was very comfortable even if the bathroom was a bit small. Everything was clean and tidy with enough amenities for the both of us. There were enough parking spaces, so we could leave our car safely parked.
