What a fantastic little gem. Right in the heart of Edinburgh but in a quiet location. Staff outstanding and so friendly. Rooms. every one was different but spotless. Food was excellent and there was a discount on evening meals if you were resident in the hotel. Quirky but in keeping with the traditional build of the area. Liked it so much myself and my wife will visit again shortly and take in a show at the playhouse theatre only 5 mins walking away. Highly recommend.

A great meal with well-crafted products. Faced with this great work, you should expect to face prices that are a little high but completely justified. The service was also very pleasant. We highly recommend this restaurant for a pleasant time.

This is not a 4 star Hotel!!! At best, the utter and complete lack of staff and services make this a 1-2 star. No room service, no valet, no bellman. To save money the Hotel owners maintain bare bones staffing. They choose to not hire a chef, so the restaurant is closed. You lug your own bags up stairs. When your tissues run out, they don’t give you a new box, they stick 3-4 tissues into the old box (saves money). The web site and laundry slip says deliver laundry by 8:15 AM, get it back that day. When we returned at ~17:00, the lone employee had zero clue has to any laundry service whatsoever, our laundry was not there and this person had no idea or concept of how or if the hotel did laundry, let alone how or who to call to find our laundry. The hotel was supposed to arrange a car for us to get to the airport. There was zero effort or action, despite it being a note on our file. The hotel staff did not order a car, thus we relied on Uber. This is NOT a four star hotel. This is a “bare bones”, not luxury, minimal services, staffed not trained, bare bones staffing to save money. Oh, and the computers were down so I couldn’t get a folio. What a poorly run hotel. I do not blame the staff that was there!! This is a result of ownership not training and not caring.

Stayed here on Mon 21st. Location was perfect, near weaverly Station, Checkin was quick, room was on the 5th floor and was absolutely spotless. It was very quiet, had the best nights sleep in a long time. Had evening meal which was fantastic, staff were great, very friendly and efficient. Breakfast the following morning was the standard buffet, but everything was hot and delicious. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Check out was also quick. Will definitely stay here the next time I'm in Edinburgh.

Lovely place with very helpful, friendly staff and a great restaurant. Rooms are well equipped and a decent size, but lose a star because the lighting is overly stylish and does not provide adequate actual lighting. Plus I personally do not like the black and somewhat grotesque wallpaper, but that's obviously a matter of taste. But overall it's a good choice for central Edinburgh.

I have gone to enjoy a shisha that, according to information provided by your other establishment, I could do so in this one, and it turns out that, even though this service is advertised outside, once inside they tell us that today there is no possibility. We must be more respectful with clients and responsible at work. A cordial greeting

Live music was good country style. I just did not get the fact that they dont serve any snacks , fries, etc, at the bar. just that they have the restaurant side of the place next door far from live music. I do not expect any main course, but snacks goes well with beer and drinks.

We stopped here for a nightcap a few nights when we passed through Edinburgh. We were blown away by the hospitality of Peter and Jonathan. They provided both wonderful conversation and recommendations for whisky. The atmosphere is also top notch with an eclectic mix of art. The whisky room is well stocked and decorated as well.
