My granddaughter valued the breakfast while staying with you. It was all we could ask for, to begin our day in Edinburgh. The staff war friendly and accommodating. What we liked very much, was the authenticity of the boat and the staff was forthcoming all the time. We loved your uniforms.

Like the room so much. Dont be fooled into thinking that not having a separate room as bathroom is a bad thing. This design is wonderful. We didnt have to wait for each other at all for 6 days and 5 nights. In other hotels, you wait for using the toilet, taking a bath, brushing teeth, getting ready, make up etc. But here 2 person can do anything they need to do at the same time with this design. Hats off for the architects. There is a door separating the bed area with the rest. Each cubicle for bath and toilet has well insulated magnetic doors and great ventilation, no bad smell or moisture at all after using them. No noise from the toilet when being used, as it has one door of the cubicle itself and a second door separating the bed area, it is even better than a regular bathroom. Two very spacious wardrobes with many many hangers. A proper iron and an ironing board. The fullest mini bar and drinks stand ever with normal street prices. Complimentary biscuits, coffe teas etc plenty as well. Been to many luxury hotels, never was this good and easy for two to stay in. Definitely best for travelling couples. Rest of the hotel is very good as well. Breakfast was wonderful. Buffet and a la carte ordering as well. Rich selection. Location absolutely the best. Room was very quiet. House keeping exceptional, twice a day. Decor all around the hotel is fabolous. Attention to detail is great. Luxury and chic. Dont think its just for young people because of its fashionable design. Its more luxurious than the boring big brand 5 star so called “luxurios” kinds. Definitely for people from all age groups. I said 6 days and 5 nights, because they let us check in early at 10:30 even without letting them know that we will arrive early and charged us nothing for that. Definitely the most customer satisfaction oriented hotel ever. Staff was perfect as well. Would definitely come again and recommend.

What a perfect little hide away in the city centre of Edinburgh! We really liked staying in this perfect romantic apartment for two. A comfy bed, good climate control, great kitchen with oven and a bathroom with luxury shampoo and bath. We had quiet nights and explored the city on foot from the apartment. Definitely recommend this place!

irst of all, it was a very beautiful hotel. The room was very spacious and perfectly clean. The hotel’s breakfast was truly delicious and could easily compete with popular breakfast spots outside. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. As a family who enjoys walking, we could comfortably reach popular places such as the Royal Mile and Victoria Street on foot from the hotel. Definitely a hotel you can choose without hesitation.
