We stayed in here for 3 nights, we arrived at 11 and expected to drop our bags off at the hotel and come back when our room was ready, but our was ready and could check in and go straight to our room, which was great and so unexpected. The hotel is very central to everything, with views to the front, we had a view to the side which unfortunately had building works going on, and will be for some time, but it didn't detract from our stay. Breakfast was good, everything you would need to start your day of exploring. Staff were very attentive, we popped into the lounge where they serve afternoon tea, that looked amazing but we only wanted tea/coffee and a scone before we caught our train home and they supplied it, the best scones I've tasted in a long while. Our room was refreshed every day, clean towels, bins emptied, bed made, the only thing I would say about the bathroom is that I had difficulty getting in and out the bath for a shower as I am short and the bath was high, be extra careful if your short or not as mobile as others. This hotel is not suitable for the disabled as it has steps and stairs to navigate before you reach the reception after that there is a lift. We had a great stay in this hotel, full of character and charm right in the middle of Edinburgh city, you couldn't wish for anything more, I hope one day we will return.

The location and the layout of the room was exceptionally more than what was expected. Chose the location based on location from the station given times of arrival and departure and this was perfectually situated! In terms of potential things to keep in mind 1) there is an actual physical key, massive and slightly worrying to have to carry around while exploring the city; 2) the staff is incredibly friendly, but not always engaging and some language barriers which were surprising given the location; 3) it is very central which is amazing most of the time, but when warm and a weekend, the noise from the street below was quite interruptive to sleep. Though that same point was surprising when not a weekend, amazingly quiet and comfortable.

Hotel was in a superb location - just opposite the train station and so within walking distance of all attractions. Hotel is old, but the bed was comfortable and there was a bath/shower. The breakfast was brilliant and had everything you needed. Would definitely recommend.

The room was clean and super convenient for our needs. Located in old town, across from Waverly Station and close to St Andrew Square tram stop made for easy access to transportation around Scotland and the city. AirPort Express bus stop is a cross the street as well making getting to nd from airport really easy. Cozy bar area and dining as well. Walking to main sites was about 15 minutes or so to royal Mile access to castle and so on.
