    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I felt instantly welcomed with a complimentary sherry and shortbread upon arrival! The historical Victorian charm of the hotel was breathtaking, with cozy common areas perfect for unwinding after exploring. And let's not forget the incredible breakfast. I enjoyed fluffy pancakes accompanied by a delightful spread of local options!

    comfortable bed
    friendly staff
    main road noise
    pricey upgrades
    limited dining options

    The double room with a four-poster bed was spacious and beautifully decorated, offering a comfortable stay with a fantastic garden view. A delicious breakfast featuring local regional bread was a highlight, and the staff were genuinely friendly and accommodating. Convenient access to the city via bus routes was a plus, but noise from the road did detract from the experience.

    firm mattress

    The hotel was charming and had a convenient location with free parking, although the firm mattress made for an uncomfortable night's sleep. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were incredibly welcoming overall, despite minor inconveniences such as slippery shower floors.

    road noise

    Charming old house vibes. Rooms cozy and clean. The road noise can be noticeable, so pack earplugs. Easy access to buses for city trips. Nice atmosphere in the lounge area with the honesty bar. Limited parking options might be challenging during peak times.

    Charming and cozy stay!

    We had a lovely night here. The four-poster bed was super comfy and breakfast was delish! The staff were super friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. Just a heads up, the area can get a bit noisy at times, but it’s close to the city and transit. a solid choice for a couple getaway.

    fluffy pancakes
    great location
    lovely bar area

    Oi, the pancakes at breakfast were an absolute revelation! Fluffy and golden, they made me feel like a king. Plus, the location is a right treat, with Sainsbury's just a stone's throw down the road for a cheeky snack run. To top it off, the bar area was lovely for winding down after a day of exploring.

    A lovely surprise in the heart of Edinburgh

    We found this spot after digging through options for a night in the city. The room was stunning and super comfy. We loved the big shower and even found sherry waiting for us! Staff were friendly and helpful at breakfast. The only bummer was limited parking, but we managed it. a delightful stay.

    comfortable stay but needs sharper management focus

    The staff were genuinely pleasant and offered helpful assistance during our stay. The bed provided restful nights, and the overall comfort of the room was appreciated.

    Management changes seem to have affected the hotel's overall quality.
