Fab breakfasts, very helpful and friendly staff, clean and comfortable bedrooms with luxury soaps. Hot chocolate and cookies in the room! Staff helped with our heavy suitcases and moved our car for us . 3 buses from around fhe corner take us to the Royal Mile, so that was great. All three of us would stay there again.

What a fabulous Hotel, spotlessly clean, well maintained, lovely room, bed so so comfy. 20 mins walk into Edinburgh (we love walking so this was not a problem) or bus 2 mins walk. On the doorstep to Arthur’s Seat, very good quiet location not far from city, saw some good restaurants on our way back from the city which we wished we’d tried. What made this gem of a place though was Kevin the owner .... he is so friendly and cannot do enough for you. Excellent place, would recommend without a doubt.

A very cozy and nice hotel. It is close to the centre. You can easily walk or take the bus. Now that you can pay by contactless credit card in the buses, this is easy. The neighborhood is very quiet and pretty. The staff is very friendly and there is a great breakfast selection. The room was very small but still had everything you need. I felt right at home.

The staff was incredibly friendly and genuine and the hotel and rooms are well-kept and tidy. Although the hotel is not in the center of Edinburgh, the staff helped us easily understand how to use the bus (which is super easy and close!) They go the extra mile to make you feel at home with great amenities in the hotel and in the rooms. We had an early flight so we couldn't take advantage of the breakfast but the gentleman at the hotel did not hesitate to prepare a breakfast to-go for us. We highly recommend this hotel!

Very friendly and helpful owners. An interesting attic room in a nice B&B, just out of the city. Very comfortable. The owners carried my bags up and down the stairs. Very kind. I was able to walk into Edinburgh or use a bus when taking my luggage. The hotel’s directions were very helpful in this regard. Delicious cooked breakfast. Relaxed atmosphere. I liked this place and wish I could have stayed longer.

A lot of hotels in Scotland have the same problems, this is no exception. While the walls are isolated well, you can hear everything through the doors. The Wifi is dodgy and the water pressure abismal.
