This is a great place to stay in old town. The staff were very professional and friendly. It’s a great location but best not to have a car because there’s no place to park excellent public transportation.

Great little hotel
Hotel is really well situated near bus stops for further afield and within walking distance of the castle etc.
Rooms were lovely - the gift basket with Irn Bru and Tunnocks, along with candy canes as its close to Christmas, was a lovely touch.
Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Pub next door is handy for breakfast. Can be a little rowdy at kicking out time, but that's to be expected and didn't offend us.
All in all a quirky little place but has absolutely everything you need.
I will definitely stay here again if I am ever in Edinburgh again
