Excellent location in centre of...

Liked: Breakfast was delicious, great choice.
Disliked: Nothing

Exceptional

Eat at the restaurant but...

Liked: Location. Food in the bar downstairs was fabulous. Ate there every night. Kirsten looked after us so nicely.
Disliked: The room was dark and hot. Summer heatwave with a doona on the bed! Had to strip off the bottom sheet, sleep on the doona with the sheet on top. The only double glazed window was at ground level and had only a blockout curtain for privacy from the street. To cool the room down meant leaving the window open to the street behind and deliveries etc. lots of stairs with luggage

Surprisingly charming and good location!

Liked: Location was great for us. The room was a good size. It was very clean. The space was charming as it’s above a restaurant and bar. The breakfast was delicious!
Disliked: It was rather hot this week in Edinburgh (80+ degrees Fahrenheit) and the room did not have air conditioning. There was a nice Dyson fan that helped but it was still pretty toasty. The room was also on an alley so we couldn’t leave the window open really as people were constantly passing by and heading to the pubs. I could imagine that it can get quite loud out there but fortunately we weren’t kept awake. :)

Nice place but couple of...

Liked: Location is great. The food was good. Beer and cocktails were nice. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Decor is nice
Disliked: Room cleanliness. We had small blood splatters on the wall of our room. I noticed them as soon as we arrived and they were still there after our 2 night stay so cleaners missed it twiceThe bed was as comfy but the pillows were lumpy and uncomfortable The noise of the bottle/ glass bin getting emptied first thing on both mornings wasn’t pleasant eitherThe card holder for room power was also broke (held together with sellotape which kept coming off)

Very good

Liked: The stuff was great and very helpful. The pub in the hotel was great as well and the meal was very tasty. The location was fantastic, close to the Edinburgh castle and the Old Town. The bed was comfortable and the room had a fridge. We didn't buy a breakfast because we had a flight early morning.
Disliked: Our room was at the end stage and had no air conditioning :(. It was our last and one hot day in Scottland and it was very hot in the room, especially at night. There was a small air cleaner in the room but it wasn't helpful. It was to hot anyway.
