The room was clean but could have been cleaner and didn’t smell very fresh.You couldn’t open the windows so it was very hot and stuffy.The bar was closed on the 1st night which was a bit of a surprise.
All in all it was ok but we wouldn’t book to stay there again.

It was ok. Location was good for transportation on buses or taxis. The room we got was definitely not a “luxury” hotel room or spacious like advertised and did not look like photos. There was no lift, so they should tell people they have to do stairs. The towel warmer didn’t work and there was no plug in for the hairdryer in the bathroom or anywhere near a mirror. It had a bed and breakfast without the breakfast kind of feel, rather than a “boutique hotel,” so seems a little higher priced than it should be.

Lovely homely hotel in a beautiful period property, very comfortable! Close to plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants, and not forgetting The Canny Man's next door, which is a cracky pub with lots of character. There are loads of buses in and out of the centre, or to Leith if you wish to explore there too, so this is a great neighbourhood to stay in the city. We highly recommend this place, and we're hoping to return again in the not-so-distant future.

Overnight Stay

Beautiful spacious room. The room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Unfortunately, I ended up in the emergency department of the hospital as I had a gallbladder attack. Spent most of the night in a hospital bed. Got back to the hotel about 4:30am and managed to get some sleep in the super comfy bed. Would love to return to be able to appreciate the stay more. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay. Recommend mentioning that if guests wish to have evening meal in the Canny Man pub it is advisable to book in advance. We didn't but although we eventually got a table, had to be squeezed in between existing tables after a 10 minute uncertain wait.

Keys had to be collected from the Canny Man pub next door, very welcoming and invited us back after getting settled in our room for a complimentary drink. The Chandelier Room (with modern Chandelier) had a very large bathroom, possibly suitable for wheelchair though access at the front is stairs (maybe another entrance?). Breakfast was superb, Scottish, Continental and Vegetarian options. Warm friendly atmosphere with quirky decor covering the time periods of the pub.

Very friendly welcome on arrival and room was super…comfortable, spacious, clean and huge! We had the Watson suite. Great base for getting in and out of Edinburgh by bus or taxi, and lots of cafes and small shops if you want to stay local. Canny Mans is a fabulous pub…very popular, but no issue for us with noise at night either. Will happily stay again.

Beautiful room

Although The lane hotel is not what you expect when booking a 4 star hotel it is absolutely beautiful. We stayed in Cannan Suite which is above the smoking area of the canny man and although we had seen a review complaining about the noise when staying in this room we did not hear a thing. We had a delicious meal in The Canny Man and the owners where lovely and very welcoming.

Lovely 1 night stay

Had a lovely 1 night stay here. Neil was very welcoming and the complementary drinks on arrival were a nice touch. The room was very clean and stylishly decorated. The facilities were excellent and of a high standard.
The only negative thing I would say is there is no option for breakfast which is a shame, ecpecially as the price was on the high side. Even if there are no facilities for a cooked option a continental breakfast would have been most welcome.

One of my favorite hotel stays ever!!! Yes, it’s not right in downtown but the quality is so high it is worth the walk or bus ride. Everything was perfect and easy. So much love and friendliness throughout both the lane hotel and the canny mans. We stayed for our honeymoon and room 9 was spectacular. We felt like royals! Haha 10/10 would highly recommend. We stayed at another hotel after the lane which was right in downtown and honestly the quality was not even comparable for the exact same price. I would absolutely rather stay at the lane!

Noise spoilt stay

We stayed in room 11 which over looked the garden of the neighbouring Canny Man pub. The noise from the garden was loud and made getting to sleep difficult/disturbed our sleep. The scraping of the metal chairs and tables in the garden before 7am on Saturday morning wasn’t ideal either. There was a loud extractor fan(?) that went off outside periodically which also contributed to sleep disturbances.

The complimentary drink each in the Canny Man pub was a nice touch and the man who showed us to our room and checked us in was very pleasant.

Perfect location - walkable to city centre/on a very regular bus line.

The room was lovely, well cleaned and looked amazing. Large king size bed, tall ceilings, bathroom was gorgeous too, but the main issue was noise. The room we unfortunately had was both close to the front door and on the side which faced the road. There was no double glazing and the room was very poorly insulated against sound. We could hear people walking outside the window to the street and cars which frequently went past were very loud. It meant even though we went to sleep at 1am/5am both nights, we had a terrible quality of a nights sleep that means I cannot recommend this property.

After a terrible first night sleep the room was cleaned whilst we were out, however they left us with one towel instead of two, and although we drank all the coffees provided (after a terrible nights sleep) these weren't replenished.

High expectations on a lovely room, but won't return when visiting again.

Very luxurious room and complementary drink on arrival at the canny mans . Only down side is no breakfast provided and parking postcode could be amended to road where car park is . There are plenty of places to get a breakfast if needed though and it’s a 30/40 minute walk into centre . Or £6/£8 in an Uber . Nice walk though with plenty of shops to browse . Canny mans nice cosy pub with lots of curios to look at as well .

A beautiful hotel

The hotel is beautiful, I can't fault that one bit, nor the owner who was extremely helpful. Unfortunately the problem was that we couldnt open the window and the weather was hot and therefore the room was uncomfortable. There was a fan in the cupboard but that just stirred up the heat.

I'm not sure if opening the window would have helped either as my husband was also having trouble sleeping due to the traffic.

We were on the main Morningside road and for that reason it was busy.

I would wholly recommend

Does not get better than this.

This was simply the best place we have ever stayed at and at the risk of sounding snobby we have stayed at many top rated hotels in the world to put it into perspective. The room was simply perfection, we actually cut our day out in Edinburgh short because we wanted to spend more time in it. The entire place makes you feel instantly relaxed and at peace. The attention to every little detail is what really made this place stand out. Accent lighting, a mirror with mood lighting that changes colour, the wallpaper in the bathroom, everything is so carefully chosen and it is obvious that whoever decorated this place knows exactly what they are doing. Snacks, drinks, and most importantly a bottle of still water in the room, at no extra cost and replenished every day, is really what made this place stand out. Again it’s the little things this place does better than anyone else and there is nothing more infuriating than arriving somewhere late at night after a long journey and then being charged £5 for a small bottle of still water. As guests we were even entitled to a free drink at the gorgeous pub downstairs. Once again, a smart move as we cancelled our dinner plans in the city centre and went to the pub instead. You treat us well we treat you well. The location is perfect, close to the city centre but the actual area it’s in is really worth exploring. Unbelievable value for money. We will be back.

room too hot as there isn't air conditioning. They did not have fan for us to borrow. To cool the room off, we had to open the window. Hotel was on busy street around several pubs which made the room noisy for sleep. Booked for 3 nights and since first night on Thursday we felt Friday and Saturday would be even louder than the first night. We left after only one night. If you are looking for a hotel type stay, this isn't for you.

Beautiful boutique hotel with lots in the area

My stay at the lane boutique hotel was great. It was clean, beautifully decorated, and even had a small commentary snack jar. I was in town for an appointment as a solo traveler. There were plenty of handy things in the area within walking distance, like a grocery shop, several restaurants, and a cell phone repair that looked like it may carry prepaid SIM cards. There were also several places to find a barber or get your hair done.
There is a charming little pub and a late night food fast food shop just outside of entrance to the rooms, which may be convenient depending on your mood. It does however get rather loud if you are trying to sleep on a Saturday night. I was in the blue room and the window is next to the late night restaurant- so any Saturday night commotion was easily heard. I didn’t mind as I was only there for one night and I was planing to catch an Uber to the airport at 3am anyway. I could see if you had a baby, or if you are someone who sleeps lightly how the noise from outside could be annoying.
I could not complain about a thing, other than the Saturday night noise, and that type of thing you really have no control over. I would stay here again.

A hidden gem in Edinburgh! We had just stayed at a 5 star boutique hotel in London and came away somewhat disappointed. The Lane was a welcome change. Room was exceptionally clean, nicely decorated and fittings and fixtures were top quality. Our room had a garden terrace, which was a delight. Spent one evening under the stars enjoying cheese, paté, bread and wine from the exceptional old-school cheesemonger around the corner. There is a well stocked complimentary snack room that you can raid at any time, which is a great feature, one that I've never come across before but makes a huge difference in guest comfort for relatively little outlay. Other small guest establishments could learn from this! Check-in is at the Canny Man's pub next door, which owns the hotel. The complimentary beverage on check-in is a great touch. The system that they have for parking your car is unusual and intricate, but they execute it like a well-rehearsed play. You can trust them with your keys, lol! This is the only place I'll stay on future trips to Edinburgh. The Canny Man's is exceptional, if you love whisky you'll be in second heaven and the food is top quality. This is a gastropub of the highest calibre, with none of the pretentiousness that usually accompanies such places.

The Lane Hotel has recently opened a suite of rooms above their pub, the 'Canny Man's'. They have made a fantastic job of the rooms. We enjoyed the hotel and our stay. Unfortunately traffic noise was quite intrusive and I resorted to using earplugs, which helped immensely.
