The hotel is beautiful inside with carved woodwork throughout, spiral staircase, cozy library, and fireplaces. The location is in a lovely part of town. The staff was top-notch -- very professional and accommodating. Our only complaint was that our room lacked some basic amenities, such as water glasses and tissues, and it had only one accessible charging outlet.

Bed was comfortable and great bathroom! It was a little noisy because it is a bed amd breakfast so the sound proofing in an old building isn’t as great as a new one

This property is well priced and situated and if you drive there is payable on street parking. Would recommend and would stay again. Only very small criticism is there was on one behind the bar to serve you when arrived before check in

Overall, a fine hotel with friendly, attentive staff. Great location; beautiful building. I rated it down a bit because of minor annoyances: no Kleenex in the room, had to ask for additional toilet paper because room was not restocked, few and inconveniently located electrical outlets. Minor problems that could be easily fixed.

Beautiful rooms with a view of Edinburgh Castle and other nearly monuments. Clean and comfortable rooms and delicious hot or cold breakfasts. The staff is both friendly and helpful. We were only there one night and didn't get to use the library or frequent the bar. But we want to next time. Set in a safe neighborhood within walking distance of the tram and buses. Great value!

It was a lovely stay for a solo trip. The breakfast was tasty, and a lovely surprise to me that it was made to order! Also loved how easy it was to get to most places I wanted to see by foot. Would definitely stay here again if I find myself in Edinburgh.
