    A comfortable and quiet hotel very close to Edinburgh city center. Its location has pros and cons. Because it's not in the city center, it's quiet and peaceful. You can get a good night's sleep, as the city center is incredibly noisy. But you have to walk about 15 minutes to the train station or the city center. But even with suitcases, we managed. The hotel is in an old, historic building, which has its charm, and I really like that, but—be warned! There's no elevator. For me - ok, but if someone has any trouble walking... Our room was very large and comfortable. I could even give it a higher rating, but I missed a decent breakfast. Food is delivered to your door, there's plenty of it, and it's delicious. But I'd prefer to have a proper meal in the dining room.

    Charming little hotel close to center city

    We enjoyed this little hotel very much. It is a good value for the money and location. We have zero complaints!

    This is such a charming hotel! It’s a convenient walk to the city center and sits on a quiet, mainly residential street with wide sidewalks. We were warmly greeted and shown to our room after filling out our breakfast request form. As we walked upstairs to our room, we admired the bright pink ceiling and skylight. Our room was huge and looked out onto a small garden. (Thankfully, our hosts had thoughtfully equipped our room with a fan during an unusual heat wave.) The bathroom was small but laid out efficiently. Breakfast was quietly delivered to the room each morning around 6 am. It is not the most glamorous of breakfasts, but it does the trick. Overall, a very comfortable stay and nice choice if you are visiting Edinburgh during Fringe.

    Lovely to stay on a quiet street and I enjoyed hearing the cars drive on the cobbled street.

    Could have used a fan in room 16 one night. It would have been nice to have a hot breakfast, but I enjoyed all my choices - funny little system, but it worked! It was odd to have the milk sit out all night for the cereal, but luckily it didn't spoil. I was grateful for the in room coffee so I didn't have to trek all the way down 3 flights in the morning.

    Quiet room, quiet street, convenient to tram and Holyrood. The cute, little cheddar cheese from breakfast came in clutch when hiking around and I needed a snack. Ditto on the apples. So grateful for the assist with my bag on the first night to the top floor - I lucked out, but don't count on the assist - pack light!

    Lovely room. Give the breakfast a miss - not only is it not worth it, it's a cornucopia of packaging. Totally not eco-friendly.

    Fresh cold milk in the morning not the day before

    Wasn’t happy with the breakfast. Was delivered in a paper bag to our room the night before (well I assume it was at night as we were out until late so cannot confirm when). There was milk and yogurt in the bag that was warm therefore could not be consumed in the morning on my cereal.

    It didn’t have an elevator. It wasn’t a problem for us because we were just me and my husband, but it is something to consider if you have mobility limitations.

    The location was great, beautiful place, kind staff and the room was clean and spacious.

    I didn’t like the breakfast set up . A good idea to pre- order but the milk was warm the yoghurt was warm as left outside the room for an hour or two. It was not satisfying eating cereal with tiny wooden spoon . I feel better if large fridge in dining room with bfast bags put in there for people to collect and recycling receptacle for appropriate bits and bobs.

    Great location, calm and quiet. Nice big rooms.

    There are a lot of stairs up to the 3rd floor with no lift. Not suitable for physically disabled. A little disappointing no cooked breakfast option.

    Reasonable Parking is not available. street parking requires large amount of funds and has to be renewed every 4 hours at a meter. Space lease elsewhere is necessary if you are not hanging at the property all day.

    Location on private street close walking to sites.

    The breakfast options weren't the best, but it was quite nice to have these delivered to my door each morning. Would have liked the room to be cleaned maybe once or twice during my stay.

    The hotel was in a great location, easy to walk into the city centre. It was clean and comfortable. Despite being an old building, it was looked after well and felt fresh but with the classic charm! Really great value for money. Would recommend, and would return!

    Says Bed +Breakfast, but basically was fruit juice and a bread roll in a paper bag which was left outside your room, so didn't bother with it and went to Wetherspoons instead.

    Only the breakfast was not a buffet but you'll get prepacked meals which is mentioned in the description. But good enough food for the price.

    Amazing hotel with the best furnitures and the place looks like a castle inside. I would recommend the stay. Staff are very sweet and the place is very neat and tidy.

    The breakfast is served in bags during the night, so the joghurt and butter is completely warm in the morning

    In a quiet part of Edinburg, pretty big room and bed, easy check in and check out.
