I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located just a short walk from the Royal Mile. The rooms were cozy and well-kept, and the breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious, freshly prepared with great options. I appreciated the free parking, which is a real plus in the area. However, I did notice that some areas of the hotel felt a bit dated, and I would have liked a few more dining options nearby.

This B&B in Edinburgh is absolutely delightful! It's conveniently located just a short walk from the tram stop, making it easy to get around, including to the airport. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean, ensuring a comfortable stay. The breakfast is truly a highlight, with delicious options that are hard to resist. The hosts are incredibly warm and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. While everything was great, I wish there were more dining options available nearby for lunch and dinner.

I had a wonderful stay at this small family-run hotel in Edinburgh. The staff were incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home. The breakfast was freshly made and delicious, featuring a great selection. However, the parking situation was a bit tight, and the room I stayed in was on the second floor, which might not be ideal for everyone. Overall, the experience was cozy and enjoyable, and I can't wait to return!

The hotel is situated in a fantastic location for exploring Edinburgh, with easy check-in and helpful hosts. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. However, there were some cleanliness issues in the bathroom, and the lack of an elevator made for a tiring stay with lots of stairs. Overall, it's a charming spot but has some areas that could use improvement.
