Comfortable and friendly hotel on a great location

Great location in a quiet street but close to everything you may need. The staff were very friendly and the room comfortable. I was delighted to have a bath but there was no plug! Eventually one was found for our third night. Breakfast supplies in the reception area was a nice touch. A great stay overall.

Quiet, very spacious accommodation. No breakfast service but not a problem given the location.

10/10 Exceptional

Great character property steps away from the City Centre and Edinburgh Waverly Station. Friendly and helpful staff went out of their way to make my stay a pleasant one.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our hotel room was huge, with 20 foot ceilings, big windows and a very large bathroom with a shower and separate soaker tub. The property was close to pubs restaurants and the royal mile and castle. Staff was friendly and the room was clean with complimentary water. We loved the hotel and would stay again

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent 3 night stay, I will definitely be back. The hotel is perfectly situated. Very close to the tram line to the airport (5min walk) and maybe a 10min to Waverly train station, but it’s also on a very quiet street and very close to the Royal Mile and all the sights. I have nothing negative to say. The room was spacious, the bed and bathroom were very clean and comfortable and the staff was always helpful and friendly.

Everything was ok
Walter, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I can’t wrap my head around how this hotel has four stars. The condition of the bathroom in our room was poor. The toilet and other fixtures were wobbly, and there was built-up grime throughout the shower. The sink didn’t drain properly. This isn’t a housekeeping issu, this bathroom clearly needed a deep cleaning and a renovation. It feels misleading for this hotel to be marketed as clean.
Aynur, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable, with everything required for a weekend stay EXCEPT we would have liked a full length mirror in our room. The reception staff were lovely, & 1 gentleman in particular was extremely helpful, which we really appreciated.
Diana Christine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Well located hotel with friendly and helpful staff. A little worn in places, but this doesn’t affect comfort. Useful to know that this hotel does not have lift access, and also doesn’t have a breakfast option.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location is excellent and the rooms are well designed and comfortable. The staff are very attentive. Due to the nature of the building, temperature was varied and the water pressure in the shower was less than ideal. Aside from this, it was a perfect hotel for what i needed.

Water pressure on the shower was really weak

8/10 Very good

Newly renovated, but still workout the glitches.
Tania, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The aesthetic of the rooms was very nice. The property is odd in that it a conversion of several rowhouses, so you had to go up and down various stairs to access the rooms. My only complaint is the lack of amenities. There is no laundry service, no iron in the room, and the bathrooms are very tiny. I am over 6 ft. tall, and the sink was halfway up my thighs. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They will hold your room key (old fashioned solid metal key, and you had to manually lock your room door when you left for the day.

Trevlig personal. Stort rum och badrum med både badkar och dusch (med varmvatten). Det enda att anmärka på var att det endast fanns kallvatten i handfatet.
