Hotel is very well located and lovely in many ways. It was let down by the very hot bedrooms (air con don’t seem to work) and the quality of the food. Asked for a rare steak and was very much medium/well done. Burnt black pudding at breakfast. Maybe chef has having an off couple of days.

The hotel was absolutely amazing—perfectly located so that everything I wanted to see in Edinburgh was just a short walk away, yet far enough that it felt peaceful and relaxing. My room was phenomenal—comfortable, spacious, and beautifully appointed. The staff was incredibly attentive, especially as they kept an eye on my missing luggage and gave me regular updates. The restaurant was phenomenal as well—both the food and the service were top-notch. I could ask for nothing more. The atmosphere and décor were simply magnificent, and I can’t wait to stay here again on my next trip to Edinburgh.
