Ideal location for exploring Edinburgh. The bar and restaurant were both closed. Staff didnt know when/if it would open? We were advised we could use the sister hotel 100 yards down the road but it was pouring with rain.

Love everything about this hotel, from their friendly staffs, the amazing spacious room we got, to the breakfast bar we had. The only issue I could think of was the construction early in the morning on the floor above our room. Other than that, our stay was pleasant and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. Robert was incredible, he was informative and professional servicing us. Will definitely stay here again in the future.

Fantastic hotel, location and staff.
I have no complaints at all regarding this hotel. The location was perfect for us in relation to the activities we had planned plus we like 'old town' areas and this certainly met the bill. If anything the restaurant wasn't open and apparently this has been the case since Covid. The location meant this was not a problem as there are plenty of places to go for a drink or a meal. We would definitely return to this hotel.

The location of this property is perfect!! However, the bed was harder than the cobblestone street. The bathroom had a constant smell of urine that would never go away. We had to keep the window open to keep the room aired out.

Nice layout to the room there was a bath and a separate shower cubicle which I found very useful. The bed was comfortable and the overall feel was modest luxury and a good attention to detail
