Perfect comfortable stay with gourmet breakfast in gorgeous surroundings!
Pros:

So beautiful - unique - full of art - lovely garden terrace area. Near the end of Royal Mile andHolyrood Palace but quiet area walkable to tram / bus.
Breakfasts are amazing- truly gourmet and huge! Most importantly the staff is top notch and so helpful. The hotel has thought of everything you need in your room to make it convenient and a smooth stay. Highly recommended!

Lovely staff, lovely hotel. Very quiet area, but only a short walk from the city centre, perfect for solo travellers. Definitely do the Whisky tasting experience with Tony.

Fantastic location with extremely kind staff
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel mostly because of the warm and friendly staff. They made us feel so welcome and cared for.

We were in town for the Fringe, so it was nice to be able to get away from all the vibrant energy of Old Town and have some quiet time at the hotel, about a 15 minute walk from the Royal Mile. We enjoyed having coffee in the terraced garden, and breakfast in the eating area inside was so charming.

Cons:

Oh, wouldn't we all love it if they had a lift. LOL

Pros:

Hotel situato dietro la calton hill e abbastanza vicino alla stazione dei treni, staff gentilissimo e hotel esteticamente stupendo, fortunatamente ho ricevuto anche l'upgrade della camera che era altrettanto bella, rapporto qualità prezzo imbattibile. Unico problema è che non c'è l'ascensore ma lo staff è pronto ad aiutarti coi bagagli :)

Highly recommended, very romantic, comfy and elegant.
Pros:

The hotel was amazing. Beautiful and clean. I took the single room (small) with a single bed (huge). The shower was great, the sound of birds and fresh air along the day. Breakfast was amazing. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

Too many stairs

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

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
