I can’t recommend this place enough. The location is superb, you’re just 15’ walk from downtown, and at the same time you’re in a very quiet and posh area. We felt very safe in the neighborhood.The breakfast it’s delivered to your door every night so you can have it in the morning in your room. It’s non cooked food, so you have pastries, bread and butter, yogurt and juice; that kind of stuff.The staff is super friendly, we met the owner Michael who kindly asked us if we could play the piano (located in the ball room in the ground floor), so we enjoyed the moment with him.They also have a nice dinner room, where you can bring your own food and eat there. There is a small fridge and a microwave.

Excellent value!Beautiful hotel- the rooms have high ceilings and a lot of the original features still intact. It is spotlessly clean. The team are friendly and pleasant. Breakfast is a nice little added extra- no hot breakfast available but plenty of options near by if that’s what you want.

I really liked the location, the very nice staff, how clean was our room, and the way that the breakfast was provided for us. We fell in love with our room, a garden view, birds and seagulls' songs and a glance at Holyrood Park. A really REALLY BIG thanks to them for the really really early breakfast that we got because we needed it before 6 am. <3

This was one of the more reasonably priced options for us. It was near enough to walk from the centre (15 mins) and there were places to eat nearby. …

The hotel itself has a beautiful front room with a well-tuned piano and a view over the terrace and a small park. The bedroom was ok - it would have benefited from a couple of coat hooks and a small table. …
