very comfortable with lovely staff, quiet and peaceful location but east to walk to main area of Edinburgh

cosy room was comfortable and well equipped. tea and coffee facilities provided but no plug easily accessible so had to boil the kettle on the floor

quirky

couldn’t really see television from bed the kettle had a short lead only 1 plug so had to balance kettle on upside down bin and books to plug it in

A beautifully appointed room in a lovely hotel with excellent breakfast, in walking distance of many Edinburgh sites and not far from Waverley station in an historic terrace of grand townhouses.

Not the hotel’s fault but beware it is hilly around here (especially for those used to flat lands of East Anglia!)

excellent location

Lovely spotless boutique hotel. Amazing breakfast too.

Nothing i didn't like

perfect stay

Excellent breakfast

I loved everything. Location (top of Calton Hill) was fabulous and street and property were very charming. The hotel is also an art gallery so it truly was a boutique hotel (and absolutely delightful) I enjoyed both breakfast (some of the best smoked salmon I had in Scotland) and snacks/drinks in the hotel bar. And most importantly - the staff were wonderful and welcoming. I had travel issues on my way there and they could not have been more helpful or accommodating. A very high recommend!

Nothing! I wish I could have stayed longer

A most excellent stay! Beautiful room and hotel in a quiet yet convenient location for exploring city. Breakfast was superb. Above all, the service was fantastic: knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We’d definitely recommend the whisky tasting experience, highly enjoyable.

wonderful atmosphere and service

the entire staff was exceptional!

Staff friendly and helpful. Hotel with character.

Room felt exceptionally small, even for a single. My feet were against the wall and I could barely open my suitcase. Also, the room description when I booked mentioned a bathrobe, but there was none. There was coffee and hot chocolate but I missed some teabags. Full breakfast options only began at 8am, which seems a little late for someone having to catch a flight, for example.

great staff and breakfast

a bit remote and many stairs

Friendly staff, location

We loved this hotel. The staff were young, friendly and helpful. The room was a self-contained apartment that was perfect after a full day of walking up and down the hills of Edinburgh. The breakfasts were excellent and hearty. The colorful artwork around the hotel made it a vibrant and interesting experience. For us the hotel was located perfectly at the base of Calton Hill and in a quiet location but some people may find it a bit far from the main attractions in Edinburgh.

The shades in the bedroom were a bit difficult to close but other than that everything was great.

Location is perfect. On a lovely quiet street but a very short walk to the centre. Was just around the corner from the theatre. Staff were very friendly & the manager was welcoming & entertaining to talk to & gave interesting info regarding the hotel, its art work & whisky. Clearly knows his stuff. Decor was quirky with lots of artwork to look at & discuss. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order & tasty.

Partly due to me not checking things out but we ended up on the 3rd floor which was a challenge for 2 elderly women friends. They couldn’t swap our room on the first night but did offer to the next day. They do not have a lift due to building restrictions. Wouldn’t probably stay if we had to park a car. Could be parked outside the hotel but would cost extra.

Location was excellent. Away from the hustle and bustle of the centre, nevertheless very quick to walk to the centre. Breakfast was superb.

Rooms could have been a little more spacious.
