This hotel is very nice. It is very conveniently located, just a block from the train and bus stations as well as old city center of Edinburgh. The staff gave me a free upgrade to a suite which was wonderful, except that this was the “ literary suite” with 3 full-size paintings of famous Scottish authors on the wall, staring at you…

A fine old Edinburgh Town House with spectacular views over the Firth of Forth to Fine. One note of caution, though: no. 36 has no lifts. The exercise did me good, but for some guests this may be an issue. O/w a terrific hotel.

Great walkable location. Staff is very friendly and effective for quick requests. Clean place. Only complaint is that our bed was very uncomfortable, lumpy and hard. Would recommend they invest in new plush mattresses.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved the hotel. The staff were wonderful and helpful (helped carry our luggage up to the top floor.) Breakfast was excellent. The lounge area was very nice. Would have given a 5 overall except for not having a lift. We avoided our room during the day to avoid going up all the stairs. Recommend the Superior Double as the Standard comes in different sizes and floor levels. Thanks for a great stay!
