We had a one night stay here. The reception staff were lovely as were the bar and restaurant staff Breakfast was delicious. It was hot, fresh and the portions were generous. Great selection of very tasty cocktails.It's a beautiful building and the bar/restaurant area is gorgeous. There is a few tables outside too for sitting outside on a nice day.Our room was large and well decorated. There was a couple of issues with cleanliness. We found a half eaten chocolate bar at the side of the bed and an old razor on the bathroom floor.Overall, we had a good stay though.

A boutique hotel ideally located in the heart of Edinburgh. We stayed 3 nights and took advantage of their breakfast service. We booked through a third party and as a result it was not included. The bar area was great and the staff were very friendly.|Restaurants, attractions and the hop on/hop off bus were all nearby.

Minor hiccup in staff knowing if you can keep your luggage there over a day if going on a tour, but otherwise great service! The rooms were lovely and well appointed, phenomenal location and great service overall.Plus their breakfast was amazing and quite affordable.Overall, highly recommend! So much so, we are returning to the hotel after our whiskey tour for another night!

A very beautiful bar in a very lovely and accessible location in the Edinburgh city.I visited this bar for a networking event and I absolutely loved their customer service and arrangements. The beef burger sliders were cooked to perfection and there were many other starters like spring roll, mushroom aranchini and salmon on crackers.The bar staff were very lovely and one of them also made me a non-alcoholic drink which was absolutely tasty. (P.S this drink is not on their menu)The cocktail of the month was absolutely delicious called “Coconut and Raspberry Daiquiri”Their Espresso Martinis were also made to perfection with a elegant froth on the top 🍸
