Exceptional
We only spent one day in Edinburgh, but it was a huge help that we could leave our suitcases at the hotel before the check-in time and then leave them there for a few hours after checking out the next day.
The bed and pillows were very comfortable.
And the size of the TV...wow!
And the body lotion ( great quality) provided in the bathroom was very useful after a whole day of wind and cold weather.
Everyone at the reception was very friendly and helpful.
There could be a little more space between the tap and the toilet, but I say this because I'm carrying around quite a lot of unnecessary weight.

Very Good
It was a fun Victorian style property. My room had a gorgeous view of the city. The staff were excellent and kind. The location is prefect. The hotel is a 7-10 minute walk to Waverley or a 3-5 minute walk to the Edinburgh Bus Station. It’s easy to walk over to Old Town and the Royal Mile. If you prefer to stay out of the busy tourist areas, there is great food and bars just a short walk away.
I knew this before booking, but there is no elevator. I was okay with that, but just wanted to flag it for anyone that may have mobility issues. The walls were unfortunately very thin on the top floor. I could hear my neighbors TV and their conversations through the wall.

Everything was brilliant! The most important thing was the location. The hotel is right in the middle of the Edinburgh city centre; you can get to Princes Street in just a few steps, and it is a maximum 10-minute walk to the Old Town (Castle area). The staff were really helpful and friendly. A great shout-out to Thomas, Maria, and Kishore!
Best regards,

Location was perfect and rooms were nicely done up. Good breakfast
No lift and had to go up 2 floors every time. Our room 105 was way too hot even without heating turned on, must have been close to a boiler.

The walls are a bit thin but it is an old building heard a lot of noise such as people having showers etc

Very handy and central
Small window in room which is below street level. But then again it was just somewhere to sleep for the night.

Wonderful
very nice hotel. Staff we extremely friendly.
we liked everything about this hotel apart from the lack of a lift as the stairs are very steep. This is not a criticism more of a fact as the hotel was built many years ago probably as a house.

Location is brilliant. 15 minutes walk to everywhere worth walking to.
The room was clean and very spacious. The supply of tea and coffee generous.
A wonderful place to come back to on wet cold Edinburgh days in February

Comfortable room with large bathroom, shower over the bath. Breakfast was very good.
Fantastic location
Room was at the very top of the second building. Have to walk along the street to get to the room from the main foyer. Not really an issue. There were a lot of stairs up to the room so you need to be fit.
