I had a wonderful stay and would happily return. The location is excellent and within easy walking distance of the main attractions, which made exploring Edinburgh very convenient. The room was spacious and full of character. The building has a genuine historic atmosphere, and that is exactly what makes this place special. You really feel the history and charm of Edinburgh throughout the hotel. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The menu may not be huge, but everything was prepared to a very high standard and tasted fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout my stay.
The only drawback is that there is no lift. However, this is due to the age and character of the building, and in a way it is part of the experience rather than a real complaint.

Great location
Crowd came out of casino over the road at 0400 - very noisy. There is a lot of traffic noise too - so take earplugs! Bathroom obviously recently refurbished- but needs snagging - not properly finished and smart new shower floods floor

EVERYTHING! The location was PERFECT! SO close to the bus station and a couple blocks to the train station. And we could easily walk to the Old Town for all the shops and restaurants. The staff were all so friendly and helpful too! Plus breakfast was delicious and plentiful and served quickly.
