We had such a wonderful staff. Beautiful building, kind and thoughtful staff, and good location. We loved our breakfast. They served a continental breakfast as well as a hot breakfast. There is a beautiful library on the first floor which is a must see! Make sure you bring shampoo, soap, etc because it is only provided upon request! The lift is down, so make note of this if you have any restrictions. We would definitely come again. Thank you, B B staff for being such wonderful hosts and making our first trip to Edinburgh so memorable!!! Cheers!

If you are looking for a place to stay that is classic, quiet and peaceful. This is the place. The feel is that of a quaint B&B with concierge service. The Staff is so accommodating and kind.

Hotel is in a beautiful building. We had stayed for an overnight previously and had been impressed with staff and quality of breakfast. This time we were staying for 4 nights. We went to our room which was very small. We quickly noted there was no fridge, iron etc in the room and nowhere to sit as we had to put our case on the only chair. The pillows were flat and hard. Going into the toilet at night I realised that there were small bugs on the bathroom floor. After looking online it became apparent these were silver fish. Next morning we informed reception staff and were informed that the room had been deep cleaned that day before. I had to ask staff member to google these bugs as he seemed unconvinced. We asked for another room or to cancel our booking. We were given another room which was bigger and no bugs. We were given no apology and staff appeared annoyed that we had complained. The breakfast omelette and scrambled eggs were overcooked, black pudding resembled a fried crisp. Bakery was not fresh and dry. All in all a very disappointing stay and hotel appears to have gone downhill since last summer. Much better hotels in Edinburgh for same price.

Check the price for dogs
Stayed here for one night lovely hotel very friendly staff but was disappointed to be charged £25 for my dog staying. Hotels.com should let booker know the price for this service. I hVe stayed in dog friendly hotels before and the average price is normally around £10. My room on top floor lots of steps as lift getting refurbished but gorgous veiw over Dean village

Location is great, but don’t expect much beyond
Great location, with superb foyer and entrance, however the rooms are a little tired. The lift was out of order and this was not communicated until we checked in. Breakfast service was slow, chaotic and overall not great. The breakfast itself had nice items on the menu, but not cooked well. Customer service training is needed at this venue.

The service, breakfast and location were all excellent. The Wi-Fi does not work on floor 3 where we were staying. The elevator was down so it was quite an effort accessing our room. However, the staff kindly carried our bags to our rooms for us when we checked-in. The shower pressure was inadequate and sometimes the water was too cold. Overall a good stay although we would probably consider other options with more modern facilities if staying in Edinburgh again.

Worst experience.. making the customers to climb 4 floors through stairs after a tiring day without fixing the lift. No staff support to carry the luggage to the room. Water connection was cut and the staff was rude in answering and they don’t know that there are words like Sorry or Apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Good day,Thank you for taking the time to review. Your review is misleading and inaccurate through. The lift has been out of order and we notify all guests and assist with all luggage to and from the bedroom. The water issue was due to an issue in the street and I was the person who spoke to you and I was not rude. I also gave you an extra hour free of charge to have a shower after the water had been restored.Please when writing a review, make sure it is accurate so that possible travellers can get a full picture.
