A very beautiful old Victorian building kept up well and very comfortable. My room was on the 3rd floor so Eric and Lucas generously toted my suitcase up and down for me on their suggestion. Close to the Royal Britannia yacht attraction, Leith water walkway and an excellent Indian restaurant. Co-op right across the street, free continental breakfast items available to guests. Bed was very comfy and shower was excellent, quiet location and can't say enough about how friendly and helpful the staff was. Thoroughly enjoyed my short stay and highly recommend!
