Place was fairly clean and magnificent. The room with a view of edinburgh was good value. The breakfast served was amazing and gorgeous, everything you could wish for, with creamiest scrambled eggs, sausages plus beverages. We greatly enjoyed staying 3 nights here.

It was reasonably priced, compared to other trendy boutique hotels. This hotel was located in a very central area really close to an one inch square of belly pork, the beautiful restaurant, and the Scott Monument.
Well, the area was quite dirty overall.

I was here for 4 nights and ate at award-winning restaurant with a good wine list and superb breakfasts including Haggis. A minibar, a storage space, and a coffeemaker where useful. The hotel had magnificent location just off all the shops, museums, bars and restaurants, the castle and the Palace of Holyrood, and central edinburgh, perfectly located between the royal mile and princess street. Also, City Art Centre was at a short distance.
