Incredible location. Be aware that there is no lift, but a small price to pay for a nice, quiet, well appointed room in the center of everything in Old Town. The first set of rooms can be a little noisy due to the pub downstairs and street traffic, but again, that is what happens when you book a boutique hotel above a pub. The upper floors were perfectly quiet and lovely. The room needed a bit of dusting, and the mattress was incredibly firm, but overall, great value for the price point!!

The room was clean, nicely decorated and cosy. It was in a fantastic location, and really walkable to all main attractions. There was a bar/restaurant downstairs which had a lively atmosphere (and shows sport on a big screen), but the rooms were soundproofed really well and you couldn’t tell if that isn’t your sort of thing. We were able to keep our bags safe at the hotel before check-in and after check-out as well, which was great due to travel times. Would definitely return to this hotel!

It was a very nice boutique hotel. The food was quite nice and staff very accommodating. The hike up the 3 floors was something we had to get prepared to do each day! Only 3 rooms all the way up there, 2 other floors with 3 each so you can request a lower floor. It is located on the Royal Mile and everything is so close! Great spot for our short 4 day adventure.
