Excellent stay, excellent staff
Stayed at the weekend for a birthday celebration. Reception staff were helpful and discreet in organising flowers to be delivered to room.
Room was great and bar and bistro were both full of character and all staff friendly and added to the experience. Will definitely stay again if through in Edinburgh for an occasion.

Simply amazing and Luxurious
Simply amazing and Luxurious.
I'd had a really cold day, so I was delighted to find that the room had a bathtub. The bed was so comfortable with a soft down comforter and lot's of pillows. The breakfast was very good! The only downside was the coffee.

I love a quirky hotel, i.e., not the same tired layout for every room. This hotel is quirky, and does it with style and class. Amazing staff too - they're evidently proud of the place. Recommend.
