Property is quaint and quiet. We had issue with the shower as the drain is barely working. we reported it to the staff and they tried to schedule a plumber but unfortunately it took longer and we left already. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

The location was ideal for exploring. A fast walk to the castle and royal mile and bus stops a few feet from the door for any other exploring you may want to do. There are some great restaurants and a couple of groceries stores within a few hundred feet. The staff and the room itself were wonderful! Everything was very clean and everyone was so kind. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Lovely place to stay in Edinburgh
I highly recommend this hotel. Location is perfect. Our room on the first floor was spacious, comfortable, clean. (Our family members staying on the top floor had a much smaller room, though.) Had a great view of the back garden and church steeple from the window. Very quiet considering you are in the middle of the city. Self check-in was easy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wifi works great. No breakfast included.

It was a good walking distance to Olde Town - fine for us. Monica and staff were always helpful. Breakfast was adequate with good timing. Room always clean - down side is it was quite small. But we managed and we enjoyed our stay.

One night's stay
We find this a lovely stay but am glad it was only for one night as the description said private bathroom but this was shared. We only went in that evening and went out to our night out right away and were back late. I woke up at 4 p.m. having to go to toilet but I had to wake my husband up as I could not get in. It was locked. I think we must have woken other people up too. Don't know why a toilet has to be locked when no-one is in. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice but the coffee seemed very weak, almost watery really.

We had a brilliant time. The staff at the hotel are friendly, the hotel itself is lovely, and it's conveniently located. This is the second time we've stayed here and we definitely would again. Breakfast was great as well.

Disappointing stay in dirty too small room
We booked this place for 3 adults. The room had barely room for the two beds so only one person could stand at a time. The shower was dirty, moldy, and did not drain. Hotel provided 3 tiny packets of shampoo on first day and nothing for next 2 days. The hotel was dated and dingy. Poor location and quite a walk to central Edinburgh. Not worth the money.
