The room was surprisingly small with no storage space and very small sink. Size of room may have been useful to know prior to booking (97847445)

I fould the Hotel to be very cosy, quiet and clean. Hanging spave for clothes, in the room I had, was minimal. It was difficult to determine exactly how far away from the centre it was as Cab rides were expensive. (97239748)

positive comments Clean and quiet
negative comments Fair way from the centre of town. Cooked breakfast was a bit grim, tough bacon and undercooked sausages

negative comments Room had no cupboard to store clothes, the quality of service at breakfast was poor and the cooked breakfast was coated in fat. Our room door was also left open after cleaning. En-suite shower was awkward to use due to small size.

Donna from Port Glasgow, United Kingdom;GB (Other) 22 February 2007

The rooms were clean, toiletries and towels were provided. Tea and coffee facilities in every room. Rooms all had ensuite shower room which was bit small but was clean and nicely decorated. TV in the room with usual five channels and small selection of sky channels our tv was the new LCD flat screen type tv. Our room was larger than I expected. There is no lift in the hotel so is not suitable for wheelchair users or those with walking difficulties as there are lots of steps up to the rooms and these are bit steep. The hotel is a 15-20 mins walk from city centre which is a bit hilly but a cheap regular bus service runs past the bottom of the road. We had a great stay here and really enjoyed this hotel.

positive comments Its clean, Spacious, friendly staff, good facilities, breakfast was nice and there was plenty of food on offer

positive comments Stunning location, lovely house and rooms with very functional en suites lots of local restaurants on broughton street try olive bistro if you get the chance.
negative comments Needed breakfast menu you only got the option of full scottish from the waitress but then there was cereal, yoghurt and stuff on the sideboard and someone ordered poached eggs which I would have liked had I known they were available. Receptionist at check in had on jeans and stripy t-shirt saturday and sunday which wasn't really in keeping with the environment.

positive comments The fact that it was a smaller hotel made it feel cosier. It was clean and tidy.
negative comments The location - down at the bottom of a very steep hill - okay walking down, but not back up!!

Nicolas from Mulhouse, France;FR (Solo leisure traveller) 03 May 2006

Je serais pret a retourner dans cet hotel mais il me faudrait verifier au prealable quel type de chambre a ete louee pour moi! Il serait bon de preciser a quel etage se trouvent les chambres pour eviter de se retrouver en sous-sol dans une chambre minuscule...surtout pour le tarif applique (3304501473)

positive comments Excellent service, proprete de la chambre, personel serviable
negative comments La chambre que j'ai loue pour un montant de 120 livres sterling etait au sous-sol et etait a peine plus large que le lit une place dans lequel j'ai dormi.... Un peu cher le metre carre!!!!

The hotel is in an ideal location for being near the city and yet away from the bustle. You are practically at the bottom of Broughton Street so there are plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars to keep you occupied! Staff were great. The only complaint that I had is that the breakfast portions should have been larger. (3304185697)

positive comments Very clean. Friendly staff. Lovely room.
negative comments Breakfast was a bit meager. I had exactly a dozen beans both mornings!!

Barbara from Oakville, Canada;CA (Mature couple) 19 June 2005

No complaints really other than to say that the advertisement for the hotel stated it was a 15 minute walk from Princes Street. For us, it was more like 20-25 with a lot of uphill walking. Locals may be used to this, but we found it challenging. Aside from this, it was perfect, really. (2120781)

positive comments Overall, we had a nice stay. Bedroom was very roomy. Generous breakfasts in a lovely dining room.
negative comments It was fine the way it was.

As above, this should not be classed as a hotel but more of a boutique B&B. (1957268)

positive comments The staff were very accomodating - I was running the Edinburgh Marathon and although they do not offer early breakfast they got up at 7am to make mine. Our room/hotel was very clean and well presented.
negative comments Price - this is more of a B&B than a hotel, therefore facilities were not matched to the price of a night's stay.

Liked the fact that the accommodation was smke free. How to get to accomodation from airport ie airport bus , stop to get off at. directions to local buses (23 & 27) and where to get off. (2265244)

positive comments only 15 mins walk into the city centre, quite location
negative comments Room servicing had to ask for coffee satchets to be toped up. Used cup not removed or cleaned. Did not raise this as there was another cup I could use.

The place is clean but I would not consider booking there again. (1813628)

positive comments The hotel was clean and the management was helpful. The breakfast was excellent
negative comments The hotel room was too small and the bathroom was very small almost like camping out. I am a tall person and could hardly move in the bathroom. The location to the city center was OK but it required a significant walk to reach the castle and other attractions

positive comments L'albergo, ricevuta e confermata la prenotazione, ha registrato una situazione di overbooking; a questo punto ci ha fornito un eccellente appartamento al medesimo prezzo della camera prenotata. Questa serietà e cortesia è stata particolarmente apprezzata perchè avevamo appunti di lavoro ineludibili, in un momento in cui tutti gli alberghi di Edinburgo erano prenotati per un evento sportivo.
negative comments Il problema dell'overbooking è stato registrato 24 ore dopo la prenotazione, quando ormai stavo lasciando l'azienda. Tutto si è concluso bene, ma i tempi di controllo degli aggiornamenti evidentemente destano problemi.
