The Tiger Lilly was fun, and lively. The staff was helpful in all areas: food, and guest services. The Saturday boozy brunch had a DJ with a great vibe. Even with music you couldn’t hear in your room. Room was clean quiet, dark with sleep in curtains, AC worked well. Room very comfortable

Tigerlilly is located in close proximity to the popular Edinburgh attractions while not being in the busiest area. It's so popular that when I needed to extend our 3-night stay by one day, I was fortunate to find what seemed like the last two available rooms online; although, one was a suite which was not the room I really wanted. I also didn't want us to have to pack up to change rooms on our last night. However, when, upon our arrival, I explained to Kate our dilemma, she said she'd try to move things around, which she succeeded in doing. So, we were able to stay in our same rooms for our entire stay at the cost of the original reservation. We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Kate.
