Very nice stay

Nice hotel in a convenient location. Spacious room with lovely views. It was very hot when we visited the city and room was very stuffy as no air conditioner. It was Impossible to open windows either. I guess this kind of weather doesn’t happen too often so it shouldn’t be a problem in general. Breakfast was really good and staff were really nice and helpful.

Bed was comfortable and great bathroom! It was a little noisy because it is a bed amd breakfast so the sound proofing in an old building isn’t as great as a new one

This property is well priced and situated and if you drive there is payable on street parking. Would recommend and would stay again. Only very small criticism is there was on one behind the bar to serve you when arrived before check in

Beautiful rooms with a view of Edinburgh Castle and other nearly monuments. Clean and comfortable rooms and delicious hot or cold breakfasts. The staff is both friendly and helpful. We were only there one night and didn't get to use the library or frequent the bar. But we want to next time. Set in a safe neighborhood within walking distance of the tram and buses. Great value!

Charming but comfy historic townhouse

We had a lovely little room on the 4th floor. We had a fantastic view of Edinburgh castle and hills surrounding Edinburgh. Monday during storm Floris, we were allowed into the B&B early and allowed to sit in the bar area to keep warm. A lovely blond lady whose name i cannot remember made us a cup of coffee. This made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was very nice, lots to choose from. The whole place is nice and clean and all the staff were very accomodating and polite. Would defintely stay here again and would recommend to friends and family.

Does the job....and a little bit more.

A lovely, traditional hotel not too far from town centre, (15 minutes walk). Love the idea of a library. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was nice, but they have a sign up advertising allergen info, to let them know.....but then don't seem to know how to deal with it. The staff were pleasant but not particularly forthcoming. But I would recommend it as a place to stay for value and location .

The space was unuque and beautiful. Definite old world charm. The staff was helpful with suggestions, and friendly. The common spaces were very nice. I would say the room is good for sleeping, but just be aware they are very tiny rooms. It was exactly what we needed, but if I wanted to stay at a place where I'd be in my room a lot I would probably choose something else. But since my room was just for sleeping I would stay here again because I liked all the other spaces.

Extremely disapointed in the presentation and content of the breakfast. Very small amounts of buffet food, served from a small area close to diners which meant items were overlooked as it was difficult to see .Cooked breakfast was good quality but embarrassing quantity ( eg, the three pieces of sliced mushroom on my plate did not even add up to one whole mushroom) My husband and I were allocated one slice of toast each and we noticed a slight hesitation from the waitress when we asked for more toast. No choice between brown or white bread which not an unreasonable request. No sauces offered, individual jam portions felt very cheap. We feel that the quality of of the breakfast did not reflect the price we paid for B&B.
