We booked direct to stay here at Easter 2020. Obviously we couldn’t due to the pandemic. Owner would not refund us but said we could rebook which was fine by us as we wanted to visit the city when allowed. Since then, nothing. …

Most Horrendous Owner Ever Encountered, Had paid in full, for a long weekend, Covid had kicked in and after numerous email/phone calls, he never replied. ||It’s my fault that Covid happened and he is struggling with his business. …

We didn't get to stay. Trying to contact this hotel is difficult, no replies to email or phone calls and NO refund of booking as per their t&c. We had to cancel our visit to Scotland as the Edinburgh tattoo was cancelled, when they finally replied we got the pity me story not being able to refund our deposit even after being reasonable with them. DONT STAY HERE.... Appaling to say the least. It's likely we won't get our refund now, but when we do visit the tattoo, we won't be staying in that shoe box. NOT HAPPY. and Tod, you still owe me £100

Super cute Victorian decorated room, with an awesome location in the heart of New Town and the ton of cool restaurants, bars, and shopping. Walking distance to all tourist areas of Edinburgh. We had a nice view from a high floor. Self-check in was easy and straightforward. The only criticism is no shampoo, conditioner, or body soap and only 2 small towels were included.

Great location, clean, the only downside was that the mattress was a bit old and not very comfortable, but I still slept well. The rest is impeccable. …

At the beginning of February - before Corona was an issue - we booked rooms here and paid straight away. From March we tried to get in touch directly and via booking.com to arrange a rebooking or cancellation. …

Don't stay here. They are greedy, They wouldn't even let me move the date because of pandemic. My flights were cancelled so had no way of going. No way to treat people. Stay away
