Perfect hidden gem Hotel
Pros:

The hotel is exactly as described, really friendly. All the staff I met were lovely and helpful, breakfast amazing and great value for money. My room on the 4th floor was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and had a great shower. Location is also perfect - short walk from Edinburgh centre plus close to train and bus stations.

Cons:

I didn't like the fact I only had time to stay for two nights.....

Lovely small hotel
Pros:

Cozy hotel with nice decoratiobs and details. Excellent location: very central, you could basically walk everywhere, still the hotel was very quiet, on a calm side street. The staff was very friendly and helpful, we even got the room before the check-in time which we appreciated very much. Great breakfast.

Cons:

It was almost too hot in the room, vut better too hot than too cold.

Séjour très agréable dans cet établissement en plein centre, avec un personnel chaleureux et un très bon rapport qualité
Pros:

L’accueil très sympathique, le confort et la propreté de la chambre.
L’emplacement est idéal avec un accès rapide au centre et aux transports.

Cons:

L’insonorisation laisse un peu à désiré mais ça reste acceptable.

Nice hotel, bad breakfast.
Pros:

Nice shower, comfortable beds, good wifi, quiet. Nice stuff and great location.

Cons:

Breakfast was a total disappointment. The bare minimum would be fresh bread and croissants - they were definitely not. Also a small selection at the buffet, the eggs seemed to be precooked way ahead of time. Very much overpriced.
