Stayed with my wife for a weekend in Edinburgh. The hotel is lovely, a small hotel with very comfortable and well furnished rooms. The whiskey and homemade shortbread was a special touch. The location is great within easy walking distance to the city centre, there are also bud stops right outside. I thoroughly recommend this hotel to stay in Edinburgh.

Very cosy b&b with top tier service and location. We had a pretty small room but we were totally satisfied. They stopped at nothing to take good care of us.

The room downstairs by door was not as advertised and was in fact extremely small. I would not have paid £200 per night for such a tiny room which was finished so poorly. …
