Location. The bus stop into town was only 150 metres from the hotel. Numerous route options. Staff were very pleasant, offering help with luggage up the stairs. Novelty of naming rooms instead of numbering. The bathroom hot water took ages until warm enough.

Do not stay here

Horrendous manager / owner - completely ruined our trip to Edinburgh. Cancelled our room infront of us with no proof of refund given. Criminal actions to be honest and reporting the hotel to governing bodies.

Having to give my bank card details even though everything is already prepaid is very off putting and unwelcoming. Was told it was in case we used the mini bar or damaged anything. I insisted that they removed everything which is charged from the room. I never had my credit card so had to give my debit card details which I would never normally do. Was told I could not check in if I did not comply. The room had previous damage, cracked panes of glass in the window, both bedside lamps. Nothing stopping them from charging me for the damage that was already there. I am not comfortable with this at all. We booked the superior room which was a 4 poster bedroom and the room was also sent to us in the confirmation email. The room was not the same and there was no 4 poster bed. 2 people staying for 2 nights Yet, 1 hot chocolate and 1 bottle of water, 1 pack of biscuits. Surely it should be a minimum of 2 of each item. The shower mouldy and the fittings are damaged. One has come off completely. Clean room apart from the en-suite. Particularly the shower and very dusty radiator. Very comfortable beds Nice big room Pleasant reception staff despite my frustrations. They dealt with me well and were fully understanding. I would not stay here again due to them insisting on your bank details giving them the ability to charge you for things in the room.

Our suite here was amazing. Tons of space, beautiful soaker tub, and overall, we had such a wonderful time here. It was nice to have the couch and table and chairs for sitting and the mini fridge was great for keeping some snacks. Would absolutely recommend. The only small downfall was the Holyrood suite faces the street on the first floor and with our window open to keep it cool at night it was a bit loud for such a quiet area. We absolutely loved the location. Walking distance to the main heart of the city but just outside so it was quiet and away from crowds. Dozens of fast food and dining places. Would stay here again.

Great stay in Edinburgh

Lovely small boutique hotel on a quiet street in Edinburgh. A little bit tough to maneuver the stairs if you're an older person but we managed. The large room that we were in was absolutely gorgeous. The staff were very helpful with any questions we had about the area. Overall a very positive experience.
