My sister and I loved absolutely everything in the hotel, especially the staff who were all adorable. The breakfast was freshly cooked and also had buffet options for cereals, fruits etc. The room was huge and had huge windows toward the front of the hotel with a nice armchair to relax and enjoy the skies.
The absence of a lift, the stairs are quite tight, but it was a very small inconvenience in the overall incredible experience.

Cozy boutique style hotel with great hosts. Kevin made us feel so welcome. Loved the fresh made hot breakfast options. Served with a smile, they made the mornings so much better. It is very easy to get to the city from the hotel with many bus options.
Nothing much. The rooms and the hallways are quite compact than what it appeared in the pictures, but not a problem for a short stay.

The service was excellent. We enjoyed our stay very much. There is a nice restaurant close to the hotel, and the bus station is also very close. We would definitely book this hotel again.

kevin is an excellent and friendly host. Served us a good coffee while our room was being cleaned on our early arrival so we could check in and freshen up. breakfast is excellent. Nice selection of whisky’s in the comfortable wee bar. The hotel is near the bus stop where regular busses will bring you to city central in approx 10 minutes. Arthur Seat is in walking distance so get ready for a nice climb up the hill for great look out over Edinburgh

The staff is really kind and helpful. Furthermore, the breakfast is homemade and it’s tremendously delicious.
You have to go upstairs through tiny steps because there is no lift.

Great location, helpful staff, nice clean room
It didn't bother me so much since Kevin helped me with a bag that weighed a ton, but others might be daunted by the stairs.

The Hotel owner/manager was extremely helpful and went beyond what could have been expected. The room was very comfortable and the breakfasts were fantastic. Hotel is a short walk to Bus Stop and then only 5-6 stops to the Royal Mile. There is also a fantastic Golf Club (2025 Scottish Golf Club of the year) literally around the corner (100 metres) if you're keen on a game while in Edinburgh.
If you have any mobility issues ask for a room downstairs as the staircase is long and pretty steep. (Not uncommon in our travels)

We enjoyed our three night stay here. The room and beds were comfortable, and breakfast was good, though my eggs were overdone.
Stairs with our cases was quite a challenge, with no offer of assistance from staff. Otherwise the staff were very good.

Breakfasts were great, the service exceptional, and the staff excellent. Our room was really quiet and quite comfortable. We've stayed here twice and enjoyed our each sojourn.
The hotel is quite old and does not have a lift, so one needs to utilize the stairs to access the bedrooms upstairs.
