Clean, lovely walk-in shower with toiletries that smelt heavenly. Free parking. Varied breakfast. Quiet surroundings, but easy access to city centre.
A little bit expensive.

Breakfast was good but it was the same every day for 7 days.
Hot water pressure was very poor. No breakfast option for early departures.

The beds are huge and very comfortable; room was a good size and well appointed.
I felt that for the price, it would be a good gesture to provide a complimentary bottle of water in the rooms. The breakfast was ok but service for special orders (poached eggs) was very slow.

The room was large and well appointed. Excellent location in Holyrood, easily walkable to nearby shops and restaurants. A slightly longer walk to get into town proper, but still manageable. Staff were lovely throughout our stay.

Great staff, always helpful. The room was very clean and nice. Very good restaurant, both breakfast and dinner. We have allergy and they met our wishes in every way. Although the location is not in the city center it is so nice to wake up with birds singing in front of your window, instead of traffic sound. Short walk to Arthur Seat.
The noise from above, someone in the room on the next floor was walking like a norvegian troll for a couple of hours in the middle of the night. It wasn't possible to sleep. The walls and the sealing are to thin. If I come again I would like to be on the top floor.

The breakfast was delicious, the restaurant is nice, looking out to the garden. The room was spacious, clean and had a view to Arthur's seat from the window. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location is in a quite park on the campus, however very good transport connection to the old town.
My matress was a bit soft for my liking, but I usually sleep on a board :D Also, I didn't see any lactose free or plant based milk at breakfast. However I didn't ask the staff, so they might had it, just not out with the "normal" milk.

Really helpful friendly staff, great breakfast, very clean.
If I had to be picky it was a little bit too warm in the room even with everything we could turn off off and the windows open.
