Large room and bathroom. A short walk to pubs and restaurants. Friendly staff.

Missy United States of America

Excellent property. Rooms large and clean. Staff very hospitable and courteous. Parking included.

Gabriel United States of America

Quiet; beautiful room and view of park; wonderful staff; elegant and tasty breakfasts with excellent choices.

Robert United States of America

We opened the room door and both stood in silence and then simultaneously said “Wow!” The room, well suite, is just so gorgeous. It is a beautiful large space with lovely period decor, massive windows and high ceilings. It’s the first time I think I have ever said “I could live here” when referring to a hotel room. Absolutely wonderful, like Claridges for a fraction of the cost. Parking is to the rear of the property and is both private and free. Oh and there’s a Nespresso machine and a microwave too The area and surrounding properties are all pure Georgian affluence, and as a location, it isn’t a bad walk into the centre of Edinburgh

John United Kingdom

Efficient check in adhering to all current guidelines, staff always helpful and obliging. Beautiful large room, super comfortable bed, immaculately clean, large traditional tiled bathroom. Visited several times before and it's a luxurious feeling to stay here.

Joan United Kingdom

This was by far the best hotel my (brand new) fiance and I have ever stayed at. Enormous rooms, huge bathrooms with larger shower and bath. Excellent in room facilities, including tea/coffee making facilities, fridge, microwave, full sets of cutlery and glasses. Wonderful hotel

Andrew United Kingdom

The staff were all really friendly and helpful, the room was large, clean and traditionally decorated and furnished. The hotel is located centrally a short walk from Princess St. Overall it was a comfortable stay,

Ar United Kingdom

The staff are all very friendly and happy to help. We had afternoon tea served in our room was delicious. The hotel was very clean, the room was spacious and had a large very nice bath, would 100% stay again. Views from the room were beautiful.

Jennifer United Kingdom

We were upgraded to a suite which was lovely and afforded us more space. The staff were pleasant and attentive. The property is located in a lovely but quiet part of the city where there are beautiful crescents and gardens and it is a short walk to restaurants and attractions. It also offered free parking which is one of the main reasons we chose it. Would absolutely choose it again, once renovations are done.

Francesca United Kingdom

Very spacious suite. Well equipped rooms. Wonderful large bathroom. Great view from the room* Great location.

Andrej United Kingdom

Excellent location!
