Where to start. I did not eat in the hotel so can't comment on the food. While I had few interactions with the staff those I did have where wonderful. I love the room I had. Large comfortable bed, TV, WiFI, a desk and chair, a small seat under the window, and an interesting view out the small window. The bathroom was lovely. Clearly refurbished at some point with more modern appointments but still seemed to fit with the feel of the room. The water was hot, with a good flow, and loo was well lit. I love that they kept many of the old aspects of the building, beautifully encorporating them into various spaces with the modernisation work. I think my favorite thing, tho a bit silly, was the metal plate over the loo roll. So cute! I want one in my house. The mix of old and new really works toward a welcoming, peaceful feel to the place. I will definitely return for another stay!

Our Double room was small and had a very stale / musty smell. We advised reception and their solution was to install a fan! This was not a realistic solution.

It was my second stay in this hotel and I certainly will stay again. Quiet and comfortable rooms, friendly stuff and great location. Just one warning: some rooms have no elevator access and you will need to climb narrow spiral staircase with all your suitcases.

Lovely large room and bathroom. Nice but slightly tired decor in room but spotlessly clean. Very quiet despite proximity to transport links. On arrival we were concerned by large hole in reception area ceiling however we didn’t need to be as room was excellent. I would happily stay here if returning to Edinburgh as it is priced really reasonably. Overall great stay

You must stay here if you want a fabulous location! It is a quaint hotel with a spiral stairway we had to use at one point in the journey to get to our room. It is full of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The lobby is fun and full of Scottish wool plaid and tweed upholstery. The 24 hour deck is polite and always willing to help. They will pour you a drink in the lobby so you can relax before you go out. Quite cozy! I would stay here again.
