Lovely Hotel
Lovely room, beautiful building, really nice and attentive staff. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, even though check-in turned out to be right in the middle of the crush of Oasis fans going to the concert down the road. Very grateful for a relaxing stay.

Adequate
This hotel was adequate, but a bit run down. The bed was smaller than expected.
Location was a bit far from city center and it took a long time to get a taxi/ uber to pick us up.
The staff members were friendly.

Uncomfortable.
The staff was nice and the room was as clean as it could be. The beds were old and very uncomfortable. The linens were all stained including every pillow we could find. The pillows were not comfortable either. The bathroom was clean and had been updated however we had no control over the light as it was on a motion sensor. Once activated the light and fan came on at the same time and stayed on for 20-30 minutes before turning off. So when someone got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom the light and fan stayed on. The restaurant also was not open while we were there.

Not the best experience
Highly overpriced. Friendly staff, but they were somewhere else than at the reception the most of the time so it was't easy to reach them.
The room wasn't clean at all. The floor was sticky and there were many stains on it.
The bed linen were worn out, there was hair on pillow case and stains in duvet cover. The pillow itself was old and ragged.

Do not recommend
Booked for a work meeting and it was horrifically overpriced because of the fringe festival. The room was small, advertised to have a double bed but it was barely a large single. The mattress also had a dip where it has been laid on that was unavoidable. The room was unclean and my room in particular (room 1) has what seems to be all the drains running through it so any time water was flowing you were well aware of it.

Lovely clean hotel, run by friendly attentive staff. Great location on a main road.
A brisk walk gets you into the West End of Edinburgh in 20 minutes.
It’s an ideal spot.

I love this property. It is so cute and quaint. The area around is absolutely gorgeous, the only hard part we had was having lunches/dinners. Thankfully just a bit further up the street is mamy restaurants.
