Lovely hotel situated go the heart of the old town and not far away from the main attractions in Edinburgh. A very smart bar and restaurant area are on the ground floor. We stayed over Christmas and it was very pleasant. We ate go the restaurant on Christmas Day and the food was very good. We were upgraded to a better room on arrival which made the stay even better.

Nice clean and tidy hotel in a quiet corner of Edinburgh, just off a main road. Walkable to everything but since it's set back a little you don't get a lot of loud foot traffic. I had a cool view of the crags and hidden gardens and Victorian houses that give Edinburgh such character. The breakfast is nice and make time for the bar- shout-out to Emily the bartender, she was so friendly and made great drink suggestions! And great drinks!

Loved the central but somewhat private quaint location, room was an absolute dream and kitted with all things which make life sweeter: slippers, robe, Brodies collection of tea, coffee and biscuits, cozy armchairs and strategically placed lamps Very nice to have glass mugs and tumblers. Only downside the shower gel is never replenished, you must ask for it at reception I understand all this green thing, but I found it extreme and unnecessary. This is a 4* hotel, people wanna feel spoilt and relaxed, not stressing over a shower gel Cosy bar area, beautiful Christmas decorations

The staff at the hotel was excellent. Very kind, helpful and friendly. The rooms are spacious and clean. We were kindly upgraded to a room with the view of Arthur's seat! Special thanks to Kier, Stuart and all the other staff working through the festive period.

This hotel is in a really interesting part of town and is well located for access to pubs, restaurants, bars and theater. The hotel itself is part of the historic buildings found there and is really well set up. We did not eat in the restaurant, however, it looked really nice with various rooms and little nooks to have a quiet meal in. Our room was spacious and the staff helpful and friendly. Our only negative comment was there was no soap/shampoo in the room. Luckily we always travel with our own, however, for the price you pay you may expect that to be supplied. As we had our own we did not

Great location, close to museums, castle and Arthur's Seat for example, and mostly friendly staff. Rooms are clean (aside from stains on one of the pillows) and spacious. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable and did not make it easy to recover after a long day of walking. Good breakfast, sadly pastries were only served on weekends so I missed out.
Had dinner once and it was a bit pricey but nice, picture of the salmon starter attached.
