Pros:

Fabulous communal areas. Fabulous staff. Very clean. Decor great. Shower super.. Very quiet room overlooking garden. Elegant street at front onto park area.. Took my bag up to room. Quirky super art work. Reasonable walk from train station.

Cons:

Single room had topper on mattress, this moved as you turned over & had to keep pushing back in place.. Couldn't turn radiator off to change temp. Curtain needs to block out all light.

Lovely place and friendly staff.
Pros:

Location was good, very clean and we had a lovely big room.

Cons:

A proper door on the bathroom area would have made me give a 10. Also, the water for the lovely fancy bath was cold so I couldn’t take a bath.

Lovely Edinburgh hotel
Pros:

Convenient central location, room was well fitted, breakfast was included which was mostly great. The hotel itself is very picturesque with some interesting art throughout.

Cons:

The single rooms are very small and there was 2 flights of stairs up to the room. The poached eggs with my breakfast were overcooked, which was unexpected as the rest of the breakfast was of a high standard.

An original converted Georgian townhouse, affordable, excellent staff.
Pros:

The staff was superb. They assigned me, I’m guessing, their most beautiful room, on the top floor, up flights of stairs. I arrived early, checked my luggage with the gorgeous Greek woman whose name escapes me. Perhaps “Marinella”? When I returned after check-in time, my luggage was in my room. I appreciated then, and appreciate now, not having to lug my heavy luggage to the room. What a gorgeous room! I actually inquired about buying a piece of the contemporary art hanging on the walls. The general manager was also a great help. Again, all staff was extraordinary. And kind.

Fantastic small hotel in Edinburgh
Pros:

We stayed in this fantastic hotel for a couple of nights in mid November. We have been to Edinburgh numerous times but this is the first time we have stayed here and it will now be our go to in Edinburgh. Everything about the hotel is great from the amazing staff who look after you so well to the fabulous huge breakfasts which are the best we have had in any hotel!! The rooms are very individual and have beautiful glass chandeliers . We stayed in room 7 which was lovely and had everything you could want for your stay here. The staff make this hotel well done we will be back as soon as we can!

Quality stay for a reasonable price
Pros:

- Staff serving breakfast were very knowledgeable about me needing gluten-free food so I felt safe
- Large breakfast portion with quality produce (I didn't need to eat until teatime after that!)
- Great location next to Calton Hill
- Easy 10minute walk to shops/bars/restaurants
- Gorgeous period property with fabulous art work displayed and lovely festive decorations for Christmas
- lots of added touches in my room (toiletries, bottled water, hot chocolate sachet, gluten-free biscuits substitute)
- Great to have a USB charger next to the bed
- good sized towel! I am plus size and often towels don't fit around me. I really appreciated this.

Cons:

That my trip was only for one night! :(
