From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with the friendliness, helpfulness and professionalism of the staff. This really made a big difference to our stay - making us feel welcomed, comfortable and well looked after. The room was beautifully decorated and spacious, with super comfortable beds. And the breakfast selection was great. Our delicious full Scottish breakfast arrived on a sizzling skillet. The hotel's signature dishes for dinner were also excellent and good value too. The outdoor terrace area was buzzing in the evening as visitors enjoyed their drinks in spaces dotted with quirky fringed standard lamps. The location was just right, near enough to walk into the city centre, or hop on a local bus, whilst the hotel could be found up a quiet road enjoyed views over a large park.

Looked very good, but I don’t normally eat breakfast

Parking was slightly annoying but nothing to do with the hotel itself. Room was very warm during the night but other than that the property couldn’t be faulted.

Restaurant and bar were exceptional, rooms were basic but lovely. The staff were amazing and very polite. Views across the park were beautiful.

Nothing as far as we are concerned

We had the most beautiful meal, our waitress was Ellie - (almost certain that was her name, she looked the image of molly-mae). She had no idea it was my birthday but she went above & beyond to make the evening brilliant. Thank you so much to the whole team for the work you’re doing but thank you so much to Ellie for keeping us topped up with a smile !!

The only TINY niggle we could possibly have was the pillows could be a little better . But it really didn't impact our stay and we still slept great

Breakfast was DELICIOUS , the room was gorgeous, better than we expected, lovely view and super comfy bed we slept great. We expected noise but there was none we had a great nights sleep. The staff were super helpful .

Could have had an extra comfy chair in the bedroom to sit in, near the window to the left.

Liked the front facing room. It was light and spacious. Breakfast and dinner were lovely. I especially liked the luxury dinner deal, two meals and drinks for £25.

Room was a little small. The shower wasn’t quite hot enough and no shower door. I didn’t massively like the artificial flowers and foliage everywhere - but that is a personal choice. Very busy bar which was too noisy for us - but others having a great time.

Lovely location. Great breakfasts.

Nothing. I would stay again without hesitation, just wish I could have stayed longer and

Beautiful cosy room in fab central location. Good soundproofing, bed was very comfortable and facilities were great. Bathroom very luxurious and the toiletries were lovely

Nothing tbh

Great Location 10-15 min walk to center. Lovely food, great staff, clean and stylish rooms. Definitely felt like a little hotspot in Edinburgh. Saturday music was on until 12-1am but part and parcel of the place so never bothered us.

I didn’t confirm that the fridge was working / plugged in before using it so lost some food to that (really my fault). The stay was all around great

Amazing and notably comfortable beds. Glass water bottles in the room and excellent gluten free dining options.

Checking in at bar after a long trip wasn’t ideal. Walls were quite scuffed and marked. Carpet didn’t look particularly clean. The bathroom door was covered in something that the last guest must have accidentally sprayed over it. There was no working light switch beside the bed so I had to get up to turn off the main switch after reading my book - small niggle.

The restaurant and bar are really lovely and the food was delicious. The room was of a good standard. Bed was comfortable, sheets were clean and bathroom was clean also. The room had an ironing board, iron and hair dryer. Additionally, kettle for tea and coffee alongside bottles of water and some biscuits. The toiletries were a Scottish brand and smelt divine. The noise from the bar and restaurant was barely audible at the back!

Parking can be tricky

Worth paying a bit more for the bigger "suite" room
