Everything in room to meet your needs. Reception staff very helpful.
Rooms very comfortable, good size and great pillows with huge bed.
Lovely friendly environment and not far to walk to centre but in a nice quiet and safe location, plus handy for bus routes.

Lovely room with character in a historic building. Front desk staff were very nice and I enjoyed being able to leave my key with them instead of carrying it around all day.

Quiet comfort
Peaceful, clean and well located. Would be 5/5 if the internet had been more reliable (no mobile service in room so was dependent on the hotel's WiFi).

Can’t say a bad word
Booked as a Christmas gift for my parents - they haven’t stopped raving about it since. Have heard more about the hotel than their trip to Edinburgh!
They loved the history and atmosphere and said the staff were delightful and it was well located for wandering around the city.
Really surprised that somewhere I took a total chance on was such an unexpected holiday highlight for them!
