This was a lovely hotel! Very charming! The chair in the room was in the way and not useful. We asked to have the bathroom window raised, as we could not do it ourselves. The staff apparently forgot. They did bring a fan. Otherwise, our stay was very enjoyable

The property is really nice at walking distance from the old town and it very well served by public transport. The only downside was that we were put in the attic room and the stair to access it were very steep. We were not asked if the stairs would have cause problems.

A really interesring older place. It was like a mansion that had been made into a hotel. I stayed three different times because of the convenience of being close to Haymarket railroad station. The first room was in the attic so lots of stairs to climb. Room was big enough for three of us and had a lovely view. The next time I was by myself so I asked for a lower floor and got a room on 2nd floor so was less stairs to climb. Then next time I was on the main floor and even had a mini fridge. I also got breakfast included on the last two times so had a lovely full Scottish breakfast. I' not sure why we didn't get it included the first time. It is a 30 minute walk to old town Edinburgh so very doable if you walk. A few small convenience stores close by to pick up food, drinks & snacks. A few restaurants close by. The restaurant in the hotel itself was not open when i was there in September. Beds are comfortable & rooms clean.

We actually left a day early because the room was so disgusting. The bed sheets were dirty and gave me a rash on my leg. We had a spider in the room the size of my palm and got no sleep because we felt like something was crawling on us. There was no hot water so we took cold showers. There were marks and scrapes all over the wall nothing looked taken care of in there. For the money I’ve never stayed in a hotel that bad. The staff was very nice though.
