We stayed here and used as our base for Kiltwalk2025. I have stayed here in 2023 and knew I’d be back again. Amazing room. Spot on. High ceilings and spacious rooms which we loved. Staff are lovely and full of knowledge. Beds are soooo comfy. Bathroom was huge. Will definitely be returning for a third time next time we are in Edinburgh!!

Location. The bus stop into town was only 150 metres from the hotel. Numerous route options. Staff were very pleasant, offering help with luggage up the stairs. Novelty of naming rooms instead of numbering. The bathroom hot water took ages until warm enough.

Great stay in Edinburgh

Lovely small boutique hotel on a quiet street in Edinburgh. A little bit tough to maneuver the stairs if you're an older person but we managed. The large room that we were in was absolutely gorgeous. The staff were very helpful with any questions we had about the area. Overall a very positive experience.

Had a good time here, staff cleaned room everyday. Cant complain about that. A room was comfortable but over crowded due to size. Easy to get ro town many options with buses and never had to wait long . I think a little more orientation of the place when checking in wouldheld didnt dind the garden untill ready to leave . Could use a safe in room do to being on ground level and window was broken. Good convenient place ro lay your head down . Thanks
