Historic, very helpful and courteous staff
No lift, and exceptionally difficult to negotiate all the stairs with even small luggage up to room 311. A long way from teception.

Liked the hotel oldy worldy style and its location, but probably not everyone's cup of tea, as a good 30 minute walk from the centre. Plentiful cheap busses though. Rooms and beds were huge! Loved the buffet breakfast, plenty on offer.
Heating throughout was slightly lacking. Just needed to be a degree or so higher to be comfortable. I know this is difficult in an older property. Room radiator was red hot, but it needed another to be perfectly comfortable. Hotel could do with a bit of TLC in places.

The location and old structure of the building
There is no lift and since i was with my family and there were 3 big suitcases, I had to carry myself until the last room from reception. There was no help as other part of world, the help is always provided. The non availability of Lifts is only drawback in this hotel otherwise, it is 10/10

Visited this hotel many times down the years. My go to hotel when visiting Edinburgh. Ideal if you are driving up from the Scottish borders.
We were not given a room in the main building but the side building.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a meal in the restaurant at night which was very tasty. Breakfast was buffet style plenty of choice, really set you up for a day of sightseeing. Great location, bus stop just on next road bus every 15 minutes. Will definitely stay again.
Nothing not to like

Excellent value for money. Super friendly staff. Every room clean was good. The bar and breakfast rooms are very nice and have a cozy atmosphere and also the reception area including the fabulous Magnus. It was possible to sit in a comfy chair and enjoy the evenings. The location to the bus stop for the city is perfect & the bus connection is ideal. For couples the ambience is nice and cozy. We were super satisfied. The hotel has real character.
There is nothing that we can really complain about but a small dislike would be the rattling window and frame in the room when it was windy outside. Maybe this could be adjusted for a better sleep :)
