Classy hotel / beautiful internet and stately exterior. It was somewhat walkable to Old Town - but a little more of a hike than some other options. There’s no parking, so if you have a car, you’ll have to find a place to park overnight. We enjoyed two nights here and aside from the longer walk from attractions, we’d stay again.

We were with a tour group so we did not choose this hotel but we were very impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. We had a room that looked out on a wall; very dismal. But the hotel lobby is airy and pleasant.

Property was great. Didn’t give 5 stars as they didn’t have wash/face cloths. That was the only complaint but it kinda is a big thing if you want to stay clean.

This boutique hotel is in a quiet street close to Grassmarket and the castle area. I enjoyed my three nights there however, it is an expensive hotel for one person only. If two people stay there in the high season then I’d recommend it, otherwise, I don’t think you get anything for what you pay. No fridge, no coffee maker, no free water bottles, generic tea and instant coffee, no cable t.v., toiletries were basically soap and body cream, etc…. I wouldn’t complain if it weren’t for the cost. Having said that, the staff were very nice and accommodating and friendly. I don’t know why they call it a boutique hotel, it’s basically a small hotel that used to be a hospital and it’s in a historic building.
