What a great find!

Excellent room, friendly and very attentive staff. We stayed for a long weekend with the kids and what an excellent find this was, the room was clean, very large and within a stones throw of Edinburgh city centre via regularly running buses which stopped right outside the hotel.

had the unfortunate experience of lodging near loud guests. the staff intervened three times with no changes. room was fine but not what was expected from photo reference and cost. at 2am we tried to get another room but was told they would talk to guests again, and they didn't. we did not get another room. i do not recommend staying here

Liked: Staff & service

Not bad, but not good.

Room was merely OK. Staff was friendly and location was good were the highlights. Pillows were flat, bed was stiff. Breakfast was average. Would be prettier in the spring/summer as the garden outside area was mostly dead in late November.

Lewis was so very very good and lovely to deal with. He went above and beyond. The property was lovely & we would stay there again. A couple suggestions. New towels every second day would be great and the shower curtain needed replacing as it was moldy… but all else was great!!

We got off to a great start! Lewis was there, opened the door to welcome us before we even got in the porch. He was kind, extremely courteous, showed us around, made us feel very welcome. Lewis set the tone for our stay, couldn’t have gone better. Room was perfect. Just the right size, clean, very comfortable. Water pressure was less than desirable, but a minor issue. We would gladly stay there again when we come back to Edinburgh. Thanks for making our stay so great, and thank you Lewis! Ben and Nydia Martin
