Jon, United Kingdom

- Location was good - Really beautiful hotel - The staff were great; really friendly, very, very nice people - I hate breakfast, but this one was brill - very varied We got v lucky with this one. We were on the top floor - I'd recommend asking for a floor on a lower level if you're not a fan of stairs.

Tommy, United States of America

Everything about this hotel is superb. It's conveniently located, yet very quiet; the rooms are clean and comfortable rooms; the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again, and will recommend it to friends.

눉They promised me I could have takeaway breakfast and failed to deliver. My single room was very small, shower floor was not very clean. They are supposed to clean every morning, they did not even empty my bin. Very poor service.

“Ok but rather expensive compared to similar places in Edinburgh”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The room looked and felt like 'the last available room', the one no one would like to book as it had a slightly forgotten feel to it, somewhat loveless, which was in direct contrast to the rest of this beautiful house. It wasn't possible to open the window, the inner sash window was slipping down and the outer ones wouldn't open. The bathroom had streaks of either detergent or soap and some of the 'rims' looked slightly dust baked. There was no kettle, cups and tea initially until I found them in a cupboard.
눇Very friendly welcome by staff, speedy, uncomplicated check-in and check-out. Lovely location in a quiet neighbourhood, yet very close to restaurants and bars.

“Highly recommend!”
- • Solo traveler

- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눇The room was a perfect budget style hotel with an extra added touch of ambience and the location was bang in the city centre (4min walk) But without the noise of the city. Front door locked at 11pm but all guests given a key, very safe! The guest information book was very detailed and helpful, a fantastic extra little touch. The decor was old but added to that history edinburgh likes to preserve.. Excellent staff and met the owner on my way up as I left to go out for the evening, a wonderful man. The shower was slightly old but not dirty.
