My new go to place to stay!
Pros:

Such a beautiful building within a quiet location. My kids loved the bed hidden behind the curtain and it was great having a bath AND a shower! The little breakfast basket was an added bonus. Getting into the centre was really easy with both bus and tram stops nearby.

Cons:

Not so much a dislike from myself but I understand that it could be from someone else. If you are a light sleeper or don’t like the sound of the wind, I’d recommend booking on a lower floor. Staying at the top, the noise is more noticeable.

Pros:

The hotel was beautiful. I was emailed the door code before arrival, but a lovely member of staff also came to meet me and show me to the room and around the room facilities. The room was glorious, even better than it looked online and the additional touches like the bread and muesli really made a difference. Total comfort in an amazing location. I will definitely be going back.

Cons:

Nothing that I didn't like. Honestly just a brilliant experience.

It was extremely comfortable.
Pros:

Loved the cleanliness of the apartment.

Cons:

Everything was great! Just a small suggestion, for the basin in the bathroom if you could fit one tap for the water it would be great.

Absolutely Beautiful Townhouse in a Great Location!
Pros:

We stayed in 6 locations during our visit to Scotland and this was our favorite! I was traveling with my husband and 18 yr old son and 19 yr old daughter. They loved staying in these cool bunkbeds during the trip and enjoyed that they still had their own private room. While we shared a bathroom, it was big enough and the shower was hot enough! I couldn't get enough of the Highland Soaps in the kitchen and bathroom to try. The little details stood out. The complimentary, coffee, tea, milk and granola were a nice and much appreciated touch. The drapes blocked all the light and the room was quiet for peaceful sleep. I also loved the ability to do some laundry. Free parking along the park was an added bonus, for our larger van! The location was also great. We had plenty of places to walk to at night for dinner and a pint. While my daughter and I took one of the buses into Edinburgh that left from right out front of the townhouse. I preferred staying here, to staying in the historic area of the Royal Mile which we have done before. The hosts have gone out of their way to provide a beautiful place to stay with all the comforts of home.

Disappointing
Pros:

Good location, clean, welcoming, very well presented. Lot of care taken over furnishings. Very comfy bed.

Cons:

Misleading listing. Nowhere did it say that the room I was in would be below ground level and that people walking on the pavement to and from work would be able to look down directly into the room. As it was winter and dark early in the afternoon and late in the morning, I had to have the curtains closed if I wanted the lights on. I couldn’t even sit in bed with a cup of tea in the morning with the curtains open.

I raised this with the owner on arrival, he said it was a lovely room and that I would like it. He said there was another room but it was much more expensive and he was sure I would like this one. He told me I should stay in it and see what it was like which I did. I didn’t see him again.

The image of the building in the listing shows rooms with large windows. I would not have stayed here had I known I would be in a dark room, visible to passers by.

The room needs a bolt - I felt very vulnerable being a woman in my own, people able to see me from the street and no way of securing the room (anyone could have come in with a keypad access to the room).
