Lovely hotel with excellent staff!
Marilyn K, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful historic castle-like accommodations with stellar service in nice location on University of Edinburgh campus
Lisa A, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was nice. The hotel definitely doesn’t seem like it’s pictures. There seemed to be no ice, hauling luggage up the spiral staircase was not great. They don’t offer for someone to help with luggage or room service. Most of the time, we felt not welcomed. The breakfast was decent. The bar had a small selection whiskeys, that were okay, but would have been nice for a larger array. Overall, it has old charm and the breakfast was good.
Shayna, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fabulous Hotel

We came to stay for 2 nights and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Reception staff were very welcoming and the room was so comfortable. We would highly recommend this hotel, there are nice views of the nearby mountain and although it is situated on the outside of the University campus, it is full of gardens and a very nice atmosphere.

Staying at this hotel was truly a magical experience. The building looks like a charming castle, full of character and history. It even has a secret garden where you can enjoy freshly brewed coffee and delicious cookies—or simply relax with a good book. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful place to stay, this hidden gem is the perfect escape.
