This is a hotel go-to for Edinburgh! The venue is gorgeous and quaint with knowledgeable staff. As for me, the location is marvellous, to what seems like a lovely pub. It is just a walking distance from St Johns Curry Club, where you can eat something.

Everything was fantastic, flexible staff made our stay perfect 10/10. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The room was nicely decorated, and it had an iron with ironing board, a coffee/tea maker, and TV that were useful. The service provided there was great.
