Extremely comfortable bed! Beautiful room on a quiet side street and a 15 minute walk to the Royal Mile but still surrounded by walkable eateries. We had an easy check in and no complaints!

We were surprised that the breakfast was not included with our room. Booking through Expedia breakfast was not included, however we were told if we had booked using hotels site, it would have been. Otherwise it was a good stay.

Excellent service
Very friendly welcome and excellent service throughout my stay. The building is older, with character, so don't expect soulless corporate style.
