Small and quaint. Very friendly staff and the breakfast buffet was amazing. My only disappointment was not being to dine the night before I left because of a group dinner being held in the restaurant. Otherwise, I will definitely be back on my next visit to Scotland.

The staff were very friendly, and my room was clean. However, on the last day, when housekeeping cleaned the room, they took the robe and didn’t replace it. I also noticed that they took the coffee cup and didn’t provide a new one.

Good hotel- Parking offsite only tho

One night stay to attend concert. Coming to Edinburgh by car so needed parking. The info via Hotels.com says low clearance onsite parking but also offsite. Email confirmation says only offsite and too late to change when that was received and wouldn’t have got refund. There isn’t any onsite and parking 10 or so min walk away which in torrential rain with luggage isn’t fun! However easy to park and discount code from hotel good. Easy to grab a bite to eat before heading off to concert and handy location. Nice room. Privilege room. Could do with coffee table - nothing to use when sitting on seats. Bed lovely size but too hard for us. Super bathroom tho.
