Great location, ca. 2km from centre with a bus stop almost in front of Duthus. Walking to centre is easy and fast too. Excellent service, David (who runs the place with the help of others,of course) is extremely helpful and kind and prepares a good breakfast. The room was the perfect size with comfortable bed and pillows and also a small fridge which helps. Towels and toiletries are provided too. Make sure to take the Roseburn path near by - great walk through a forest that takes you to a retail park.

Would highly recommend this venue, the staff were really lovely and welcoming, the room was very nice, it was well situated for the centre of Edinburgh, a 10m walk to Haymarket where there are regular trains to Waverley. Buses and trams also run regularly and it is walkable. It's a very nice location away from the hustle and bustle of the centre.

The room was nice in terms of cleanliness and amenities, and property manager helpful. However, we booked a “non smoking” room and it was clear it had been smoked in before - everything smelled like stale cigarettes. They also have electric showers and the water pressure is terrible.. it worked for us but has room for improvement.

This is a lovely hotel just 12 minutes walk from Murrayfield stadium. The rooms were spacious, very tastefully decorated, super clean and very comfortable. The hotel owners and staff were so friendly and helpful and the host went out of his way to find our details of our trains for us. All in all a fabulous experience.
