There are also elegantly landscaped gardens, separated by the original Georgian garden walls. This is a pleasant hotel in the heart of the city. The hotel has its own gymnasium on the patio level. (KB 07/08) The hotel was built from a number of adjoining houses with white stone facades. It is a stunning Georgian exterior, one of the most elegant in the whole city. This delightful hotel is just a few minutes' walk from Princes Street in a Georgian crescent, overlooking a large expanse of green. It is in a charming part of Old Edinburgh, situation on a cobbled street.

Traditional with a modern twist.

Traditional with a modern twist. Friendly service, great food. Expensive. A few ridiculous items eg 6' wide bed. Very ample space in bedroom and good communications via TV screen which doubled as an announcement board. Appreciated being able to access radio channels.

Maybe we were just unlucky, but

Maybe we were just unlucky, but our room was so narrow that we had to take turns to get past the foot of the bed. The tiny sitting area had a wobbly table and 2 chairs that had to be moved around if you wanted to open the closet. The pillows we had (foam) were so hard we both had neck-aches after sleeping on them. We asked for feather pillows, but the hotel didn't have any. So our souvenirs from Edinburgh are pillows bought at BHS. The bathroom was 4 star as was the restaurant: excellent food. Friendly service, but the room was not what we expect for a 4-star rating.

I enjoyed my stay in the hotel

I enjoyed my stay in the hotel and was very happy with the room I was given as I was given an upgrade on booking in. The bar was quiet but the barman was very pleasant. I was a little dissapointed with the meal on the Saturday night as it was Easter weekend and there was limited choice compared to the menu on the hotels site. The location was as expected apart from the climb from the main town but you can't do anything about geography.

観光をするには 絶好のエリアで私は歩いて観光しながらエジンバラ城まで行きました。 にぎやかな場所からは離れていますが ゆっくり過ごすことができました。食事はホテル以外だと10分ぐらい歩けばレストラン等があります。
