3* room 5* breakfast
Pros:

Hotel okay and location brilliant if you want it quieter than old town. The rooms and hotel was very quirky which we loved. We had room 9 and the curtain didn’t fit the window so light came through on a morning. Shower kept flooding as the plug was slow draining but the room itself was nice and clean. I would say our highlight of the stay was the breakfast. Very tasty. I wouldn’t come here again in August as price far too high

Pros:

Le petit déjeuner était excellent.
L’hôtel est très bien placé, au calme mais proche du centre ville et de tous les points d’intérêts d’Edimbourg.

Best hotel I’ve stayed in
Pros:

This is probably the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I can’t fault it on any point. I loved everything about it. Probably one of the highlights was falling asleep with owls hooting to each other in the garden

Das Hotel würde ich absolut weiterempfehlen, ruhige und doch zentrale Lage mit sehr netten Besitzern/Personal und le
Pros:

Sehr hübsches Hotel im historischen Stil und kreativ eingerichtet. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, besonders das Royal Breakfast. Grosse Portionen und sehr liebevoll angerichtet, nach dem Motto das Auge isst mit 😊.

Cons:

War alles Top. Zimmer sehr stylisch aber nicht unbedingt praktisch (Ablage Möglichkeiten) aber das nur am Rande bemerkt. Wir waren im obersten Stock aber zum Glück hatten wir Helfer die die Koffer hochgetragen haben.

A good choice for travellers with an electric vehicle.
Pros:

The location was excellent. The hotel kindly offered a discount code for a nearby car park, only a 3-minute walk away. The surrounding area is beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for exploring the city on foot. The car park also has EV charging facilities, which meant we could conveniently charge our car overnight.

Cons:

Room was smaller than expected, it was even difficThe room was a little smaller than we had expected, making it difficult to fully open our suitcases. We were also allocated a room on the third floor. Although a member of staff kindly helped us carry our luggage upstairs, the lack of a lift made things a little inconvenient.ult to open the suitcase

Hôtel absolument parfait, très bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Tout était parfait: personnel, décoration, confort, petites attentions. L'endroit est charmant, et le rapport qualité/prix est très bon. Le petit déjeuner est incroyable. Superbe expérience!

Cons:

Pas un problème pour moi mais l'hôtel est situé sur une petite colline, et ne dispose pas d'ascenseur, à savoir si vous avez du mal à vous déplacer

A home in Edinburgh
Pros:

A most pleasant stay in a well-located, art-filled, artful hotel with staff who went out of their way at every turn. They made you feel like this was your home, especially if you dream of gallery walls -- and they even blend their own whisky! The best Full Scottish Breakfast I have ever tasted. Will definitely return!

An Excellent Choice
Pros:

I would recommend this hotel without hesitation. The location is great, very handy for the City Centre and the Tram. The hotel is clean and well appointed and the rooms are individual and have character. I stayed in one of the cosy single rooms and it has everything a solo traveller requires. The design and layout is imaginative. The terrace garden is a delight in the summer. The rate was also extremely good value of the peak of the tourist season.

Everything was excellent.
Pros:

The hotel has a bright, fresh, and refreshing design. Every painting is unique and makes you want to stop and admire all the little details. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was delicious, and the location is close to the city center. The beautiful garden was a wonderful place to relax. The area is peaceful and quiet, with no noise at all.

Exceeded all expectations!
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, the staff were so attentive, informative and accommodating. I received local recommendations for food and things to do. We received a complimentary upgrade. Our bags were carried up to our beautifully presented room. You must sit in the garden for drinks, it is so tranquil. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stay in the hotel for breakfast. I’m so glad I did! It was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable experiences and not to mention absolutely delicious! I will most definitely be booking again. My friend who came with me is coming back this month. An absolute gem in the perfect location.

Cons:

Nothing. My stay exceeded my expectations.

Fabulous
Pros:

My husband and I have been to Edinburgh many times but this is the first time I have stayed at the same place twice. We can not find one single thing to fault this hotel, it is fabulous. It's in easy walking distance to the main centre within minutes, but you are also away from the hustle and bustle of Princess Street .The staff are all wonderful, so friendly, happy, kind and can not do enough for you. The hotel is very clean and well looked after. They think of everything for your room, a lovely fridge which actually keeps cool unlike most hotel fridges. Complimentary Still and Sparkling water, hot chocolate, a caffeine and shortbread biscuits, yummy 😋.
You even get an eye mask for sleeping, ear plugs plus there is hot water bottles in the room if you need them a fan and a thick blanket, like a said they think of everything.
I can not recommend the hotel enough, it's wonderful. 😊

Perfect.
Pros:

My third visit. Absolutely superb. Eccentric artwork throughout the public areas adds a touch of class! Very friendly staff. Fantastic breakfast and a bar that is open 24 hours per day. Easy parking on the street or in a multi storey car park ten minutes walk away. The city centre is within walking distance.
