LOVE this place in Edinburgh! Beautiful, heritage rooms, stunning neighborhood with walking distance to upper market area Stockbridge, and less than 15mins to the main tourist area as well! Parking during the day is expensive but free street parking overnight which is helpful. Awesome service and free breakfast (which includes cooked meals too). Love love love! Don’t let the no AC and no lift turn you off because it’s just heritage beauty at its best!

Needs a bit of TLC sadly

Unfortunately we had an awful experience on the very first morning with very unprofessional behaviour by a member of staff. The manager sought to rectify the issue immediately but it did sour our stay. On the whole the hotel is perfectly situated and should have been a perfect stay. I did notice an improvement after speaking with the manager, just disappointed it happened as it did. In terms of bedrooms, our grand suite was lovely with its own little garden, comfortable bed etc. the communal areas need some attention - general painting, carpets torn in places and updating. I would stress that the Manager did address my concerns very quickly and I understand that there were actions taken after my experience. If you are Coeliac or gluten intolerant, what I would say is that food options at breakfast are minimal.

Boutique hotel with impeccable service

Although I have stayed here every time I visited Edinburgh over the last ten years, each experience never ceases to impress. From the knowledgeable staff at front desk to the friendly servers at breakfast, guests are cared for in every respect, with hospitality, courtesy, kindness and efficiency. I have no reservations recommending this establishment as a home away from home while visiting Edinburgh.

Everyone was so lovely at the hotel, especially Nicole - she really made a difference in our stay just by being so friendly and making an effort to get along with our little toddler (talking in Spanish and having little conversations with him). We never expect this but so nice when it does happen! We had also been upgraded which was a nice surprise and the suite was massive! Absolutely gorgeous place, location is so good - everything is literally around the corner so would definitely recommend!

This is a charming hotel with about a 15 minute walk to Princes Street. The room was lovely, the breakfast delicious, and the staff friendly. The only word of warning - there is no elevator so be aware before you book. We had to climb 64 stairs to get to our room, which could be challenging after a full day of sightseeing.
