Very Good
Lovely hotel with lots of character. Room was quite small - the sliding bathroom door took a bit of getting used to! Appreciated having a mini-fridge and coffee machine. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. Around 30 mins walk from town and just over that to the top of Arthur's Seat
Although on a side street, there was quite a lot of road noise

Large, stylish and comfy room. Friendly check-in. Excellent breakfast. Great location, about 30 mins walk in to town or 10 mins on a bus from a stop just around the corner. Some excellent places to eat and drink nearby. Generally a very nice relaxing atmosphere.
Only small issue was that the heating in the room hadn't been turned on so one of us was a little cold the first night, but this was sorted out very promptly the next morning.

Although there was a fan in the bedroom, you couldn’t open the window, so couldn’t get any fresh air.

No one at reception. Did not see any staff member other than whoever was covering breakfast. Found that a little unusual

The bed was very comfy, good location, the room had beautiful decor.
The room was not clean in certain areas; the toilet seat was dirty, there was a hair on the bath, a sticker near the bin stuck on the wall in the bathroom and a finger nail on the bed side table. The breakfast was not cooked even though in the room it said there is cooked breakfast served till 9.45, to me a cooked breakfast is things like eggs, beans, bacon etc. There was also only black coffee served which did not reflect a high standard of hospitality, yet there was a big coffee machine in the breakfast area which was not in use. We had to request to open and close the window which was not great. The first person to great us said I am not here to check you in, in a abrupt, unwelcoming way and it was slow check in.

The staff we're very kind and accommodating upon arrival. We were aloud to drop off our bags before the official check in time which was very much appreciated. The information provided about the hotel and guest access cards was all given in clear detail. The room was spacious with a decent bathroom with a lovely view of the hotel's back garden.
The soundproofing of the guest rooms of the hotel is abysmal. Granted, the hotel itself is a classic, restored period townhouse so throughly updating the interior walls to that of a 21st century architecture and standard would be a very costly expense. But one the hotel should definitely take into consideration going forward. When I tried to go to sleep during my stay I was kept awake by the guests room to my rights snoring. Yes, even through the wall I could hear snoring clear as if they were in the actual room itself. As it was obvious the bed in my room and the other guests bed were sharing the same wall. Then the other guests room to my left had their TV turned on all night, so I heard their TV with no hesitation through the opposite wall. That guest and its party decided to use the rooms hairdryer multiple times throughout the night too. Namely starting at 2am and it went on and off for over an hour. With the TV still blasting. No quality of sleep on my end was had for the two nights I was there because on both nights the same instances occurred. My bed too was sagging the middle. I've seen this issue raised in other reviews from previous guests so its an issue the hotel is aware of. I hope it is seen to asap as trying to sleep outside of the soundproofing issues is very difficult with a sagging mattress/bed.
