- Quiet location with an easy and pleasant walk to the University through parks and residential streets.
- Grocery stores and takeaway options within a few minutes' walk.
- Stylish, beautifully decorated room and a very comfortable bed.
- Excellent à la carte breakfast with generous portions, the flexibility to choose any items from the menu, great coffee, and accommodation of special requests.
- Friendly, welcoming, and attentive staff.
- Relaxed atmosphere that felt much more personal and enjoyable than a typical hotel experience.
- Stronger blackout blinds would be helpful during the summer months when it gets light very early.
- A small fridge in the room would be a useful addition.
- Wi-Fi could be a little faster.
- A few minor maintenance issues were noticeable during my stay, but none affected my overall experience.

All the staff were welcoming and friendly.
Everything was fantastic, and the restaurant/bar a lovely space. We had lunch and dinner.
The breakfast menu was amazing, huge choice and delicious.
Being woken up just after 7am by maintenance banging something!

Beautiful hotel with amazing food! I love that they left a teacup and saucer with tea biscuits in our room for every morning! The decor was lovely and the entire staff was so friendly. We ended up eating at the restaurant downstairs several times because the food was so good. I love that they serve you a cute tiny shortbread with your tea or coffee! Such a great location too because it was walking distance into town without being right in the thick of it. We thought we would be Ubering into town, but we walked in just about every single day. Also right across the street from a gorgeous park. Next time we come to Edinburgh, we will be staying here again!
I did book a queen bed and it seems like we got a full size bed, but I suspect that was an error through booking.com and not the hotel itself. Next time, I would not use this website and I would book directly through the hotel.

We had to change room on arrival as the bathroom had a dreadful smell. But fair play to the team, they handled this well as reassigned us to a good room.
