Very spacious, comfortable and clean. Isobel help our bags as we waited for our room. We also were treated to a pint that evening. This was our 5 th trip to Edinburgh. Morningside is a great place to stay with nice coffee shops and cafes. We would highly recommend the Lane Hotel.

The room was clean but could have been cleaner and didn’t smell very fresh.You couldn’t open the windows so it was very hot and stuffy.The bar was closed on the 1st night which was a bit of a surprise. All in all it was ok but we wouldn’t book to stay there again.

Lovely homely hotel in a beautiful period property, very comfortable! Close to plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants, and not forgetting The Canny Man's next door, which is a cracky pub with lots of character. There are loads of buses in and out of the centre, or to Leith if you wish to explore there too, so this is a great neighbourhood to stay in the city. We highly recommend this place, and we're hoping to return again in the not-so-distant future.

What a night out. Beers in the pub, then dinner with wine, then upstairs to bed. Everything in one place and all of it really enjoyable from the first complimentary drink to the final dessert. Don’t forget to try the world famous Bloody Mary, it’s one of your five a day 😂

The staff was remarkable. Every effort was made for us to have a perfect stay. The food and bar were great. 3/4 of us do not drink alcohol and the bartender had certification in non alcohol drinks! It was so fun for us to be able have fun drinks along with our friends!
