Excellent stay, excellent staff
Stayed at the weekend for a birthday celebration. Reception staff were helpful and discreet in organising flowers to be delivered to room.
Room was great and bar and bistro were both full of character and all staff friendly and added to the experience. Will definitely stay again if through in Edinburgh for an occasion.

Simply amazing and Luxurious
Simply amazing and Luxurious.
I'd had a really cold day, so I was delighted to find that the room had a bathtub. The bed was so comfortable with a soft down comforter and lot's of pillows. The breakfast was very good! The only downside was the coffee.

This hotel was wonderful, staff was incredibly friendly, central location to everything, and I can not recommend this location highly enough. You want to stay here when in Edinburgh.
Convenient location just off the Royal Mile. Restaurant on site that served a good breakfast. Walkable to the castle.

Love hotel, close enough to the City but enough of a distance for a bit more quiet and calm. Wonderful room and staff. Lovely Old Town charm!
