We really enjoyed staying here. Spacious, comfortable room and the bed was super comfortable. Friendly helpful receptionists. Very close to Arthur's Seat and an easy bus ride or walk to the centre of the city. A good continental breakfast available. Lots of restaurants close by. A great little hotel.

Staff were very pleasant and efficient, very helpful. Room was quiet and spacious and offered us the rest we needed from a long overseas flight. Dining area and bathrooms in hotel were down a level with steps and uneven floors. Also luggage had to carried up and down stairs to enter and leave the hotel! Great walking location!!

Great choice to stay out of old town. Easy access to the bus and Holyrood Park. Rooms are nice but the shower temp does not stay consistent. Bathroom is cramped but thats expected in an old hotel.

Noisy and somewhat tired
Had a dreadful stay at this hotel. We were downstairs next to the fire door. It had a note on it to tell the residents to be quiet but squeaked and creaked every time it was opened and then banged shut. This went on until the early hours of the morning and then started again for breakfast. The cleaners cupboard was next to this and after a restless night, we were woken at 7am with the cleaners moving all the vacuum cleaners out of the cupboard. Other than that, the hotel can best be described as we were in the morning, "very tired"

A lovely " boutique hotel " in a quiet setting in Edinburgh not far from the University and Arthurs seat. A lovely garden area and excellent setting for a lovely breakfast. Hotel staff were very accommodating.

The staff was excellent, the area was quiet and off the beaten path. We only wish the room could’ve been a little larger and we would’ve been able to have a bathtub. Otherwise, I would highly recommend it.

We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to the Salisbury Suite. The room was enormous and we had a four poster bed which was very comfortable. Everything about this overnight stay was perfect.

Lovely and comfortable
We stayed one night here and loved the experience. The hotel is located on a quiet side street, so there was no bothersome traffic noise—plus it’s located near a bus stop, which made it simple to get to. The building exterior is lovely and the interior inviting. The staff were very friendly and our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The deep soaking tub was amazing after a long day. The breakfast in the morning was a delightful surprise. They provided everything you could possibly want. Would definitely stay here again without hesitation!
