We stayed here for two nights. The place was very well maintained and very clean. Modern TV on the wall - which disturbed the neighbour even though it wasn't too loud! The proprietors were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Continental breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. The bedroom was comfortable and warm but rather small and we... More

The hotel is located in a good and accessible area of Edinburgh. Rooms seems small but it should not be that important if coming for leisure. The hotel seems very clean and offers great breakfast. I found difficult to contact staff members if needed.

Stayed the one night and overall the room was clean and comfortable. However, it was a blessing that i was sharing the room with my superslim daughter and not my "largish" boyfriend.....as he would not have been able to shut the bathroom door whilst sitting on the loo as it was soooooooooo tiny.
