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!

Bra läge och rum, ingen vidare frukost
Bra rum, bra service, vänlig personal. Ingen frukost att tala om, åt på ett kafé i närheten, då frukosten på hotellet var en minimal kontinentalfrukost.

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.

Fantastiskt trevligt hotell, stort och rymligt rum mot en fin trädgård. Stort badrum med fönster. Lugnt och skönt. Väldigt trevlig personal, jättebra frukost. Väldigt bra läge också, bara 30 minuters promenad till Edinburgh Castle och city center. Mycket prisvärt. Skulle gärna bo där igen.

Pleasant Stay:
Two night stay, reception staff were very courteous and welcoming and very helpful with queries during our stay, The room was spacious, clean and tidy. The bed was excellent. Cannot comment on any other facilities or services as didn't avail of them. Walking distance to Castle and Playhouse a leisurely 30 mins. There are some really nice restaurants close to the hotel. Excellent value for money for a two night stay in Edinburgh
