the property itself is comprised of 3 edwardian townhomes that have been linked together. Our first night was terrible with a room on the top floor. no curtains, vent pipe from portable air cooler sticking out the bottom of the window. the bed was 2 mattresses of different heights pushed together. We complained and were moved to another room for the rest of our long stay. That room was fine. clean, ventilated with multiple windows and had curtains and shades. The bed was also comfortable. I would suggest asking for a room on the ground or 1st floor and make sure it is renovated.

Good hotel. Reasonable breakfast. Would stay again. Love the beds to be genuine doubles rather than two singles pushed together. Pleasant stay, short bus ride to main sights. Good

Very good but very expensive

Very nice hotel but no restaurant Monday and Tuesday which is a pain but lots of nice restaurant very close by, parking is not good really and expensive at the hotel, I would score this hotel higher but it very expansive and for these prices it would have to be amazing I don’t think I would stay here unless it was more reasonable, staff are lovely and helpful and the area great Edinburgh is brilliant

Perfect for a short weekend break with friends. The location is a little out of the action, but it was lovely and quiet with lots of cute cafes in walking distance and the walk to the centre was not too long. Really great hotel with large rooms.

Let me first start by saying I’m from the United States and things are different there but with that said, this hotel is in need of a refresh. It’s an older hotel that is outdated. It needs new flooring (carpet/tile), a fresh coat of paint, and some new decor. One of my biggest complaints is trying to get to your room is like going through a maze. We stepped off the elevator, took two steps and had to go down a couple stair steps (carrying our 50lb luggage) then around a corner, up to more stair steps , down a five foot hallway then back down three more stair steps and this continued until we got to our room at the very end of a very long maze. I’ve never seen this type of layout that involved up and down 2-3 stair steps on a hotel floor (the second floor to be exact). It made getting our luggage to our room difficult. There were no wash cloths or hair conditioners available, but this appears to be a “Scotland” thing and not necessarily a hotel problem Multiple stair steps to get into the hotel and again this was difficult with luggage. Very limited parking! Again, this appears to be a Scotland thing in that some hotels don’t have ANY parking. The staff were amazing. Very helpful and nice. Overall, because of all the inconveniences, we would not stay here again.
