Room was a decent size- shower was great also and bed was comfy. Decor was lovely. We only stayed one night and left very early.
I cannot lie- we are two seniors and the luggage was very heavy for us to handle alone up to the top floor. But someone did offer to help us upstairs when we encountered him on the first floor. We left very early and brought it down ourselves.

The staff were friendly and accommodating on arrival and throughout my stay. The room was ginormous, modern, clean and well equipped. I was pleasantly surprised for the price. Would definitely stay again when I’m in town

This small boutique hotel is simply beautiful with a lot of quaint charm. The location is perfect as it is close to the train station and within walking distance to many great locations. The large bathroom and luxurious tub was an added bonus!! I will for sure be staying here on my next visit to Edinburgh.

Good value - clean, tidy and recently renovated, good size rooms
The only downside - there is no elevator if you are carrying heavy luggage and struggle with stairs ask for a ground or lower level floor room.

comfortable and clean room, nice ensuite, good breakfast
The room was on the fifth or sixth floor with a walkup - but that was expected due to the conservation status of the building, and also meant it was a little less expensive than other rooms and other hotels. Still not cheap mind you. (If you want cheap in Edinburgh you have to share a dormitory!)

The hotel location was excellent, close to the centre but quiet enough area to relax at. Breakfast was excellent and staff were friendly and helpful. Price was very reasonable for the location.
Nothing really.
