The property and room that I had were very, very comfortable, beautifully appointed and clean. The breakfast was delicious and very healthy. It was all a very pleasant day. My only comment is that the hotel is in an old house and my room was right at the top of the stairs on the second floor so sometimes noise traveled from the first floor and lobby late in the evening. Otherwise it was a perfect stay.

LOVE this place in Edinburgh! Beautiful, heritage rooms, stunning neighborhood with walking distance to upper market area Stockbridge, and less than 15mins to the main tourist area as well! Parking during the day is expensive but free street parking overnight which is helpful. Awesome service and free breakfast (which includes cooked meals too). Love love love! Don’t let the no AC and no lift turn you off because it’s just heritage beauty at its best!
