The hotel offers amazing views over the city rooftops and watching the planes land, with warm rooms and a soft bed. However, it is in serious need of an upgrade and not recommended for those seeking luxury.

I loved the hotel's location being on the edge of New Town, close to Stockbridge and the Water of Leith. The rooms were cozy but be prepared for limited space, especially in the bathrooms. Although the attic room was a bit of a climb with no lift, the service was friendly and helpful. The dining options were decent, and the value for money was good overall.

The hotel offers cozy rooms slightly on the small side but with a delightful surprise garden in pristine condition behind the cabinet. The service was mostly helpful and friendly, although there was a slight disappointment about the breakfast arrangements. The location is ideal for exploring the quiet, charming part of Edinburgh, close to major attractions. The dining experience, while featuring grilled salmon, lacked the availability of a cooked breakfast on weekends. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor inconveniences to consider.

The hotel is in a quiet charming part of Edinburgh, perfectly ok with clean rooms and a relaxing jacuzzi tube, but the front overlooks people smoking at 1am. The service was professional and welcoming, going above and beyond with their assistance, although a door was chapped during the stay. The location is great for local restaurants but requires some walking to reach closer supermarkets. The dining experience was faultless, setting us up well for the day's activities. The facilities were well-maintained.
