We were traveling for our anniversary and a bucket of sodas on ice was sent to our room! It was a nice touch, and the front desk staff had so many helpful suggestions for activities and meals. The property was just slightly out of the way of how busy the city is, which was also nice.

We liked it.
The location of the hotel was convenient for travelling around the city on foot. Walking distance to the railway station and Royal Mile. The hotel room is spacious with high ceilings. The garden looked beautiful from the large windows. We liked that it was clean, tidy and quiet.

Great location in the centre of Edinburgh — and charming neighbourhood (buildings of the Royal Terrace and garden of London road).
The lobby, bar and terrace are very nice.
Room could need a refreshing but comfort is OK. Both views on the terrace and the sea are nice.
Staff is helpful.
Would stay again :)

Outdated but fine stay
Decent location, about a 15-20 min walk from the hot spots. Quiet but very small room for two people. Suitable for one person. Rooms are pretty old and outdated and look like it - specifically the bathroom which shows quite a bit of wear which makes it look dirty. We did not sleep well here due to the small size of the bed and fact that the bathroom light switch is on the outside so if someone gets up in the middle of the night the bathroom light is quite bright.
