This was our second time staying at this hotel. The charm of the Victorian terrace house drew us in, the care and attention of the staff decided our return.
The quiet West End location is perfect for getting into the city centre, a short walk from the airport tram and Village of Dean / Stockbridge.
Be sure to take a restful moment in the stunning library!

The staff greeted us warmly when we arrived . However, we were on the 3rd floor with no lift service, as it was broken.
Getting luggage up to floor was a nightmare & we dreaded walking up them after a long day of walking around Edinburgh.
The dining staff were friendly , with excellent customer service .
Breakfast was varied & very good choices.
There was a bar that looked well stocked .
We did not use it .
Location was great , away from the busy city centre but within walking distance to everything
Our room was fab , great views , clean , well equipped. Let down by the shower , we could not get it to be consistent, one minute cold next boiling .
This was the only let downs .
Staff were so lovely we couldn’t moan at them.

This hotel was a unique boutique styled property with exquisite finishes throughout the common areas. The library on the first floor was beautiful and I suppose that was part of the building’s history as it contained an interesting collection of classic medical journals. Although the room was small by North American standards, it was comfortable and had all of the expected amenities.

This hotel is conveniently located and is within walking distance of the train station and all of the attractions we wished to visit.

The staff was personable and I would certainly stay at this hotel again.

You have the potential for a nice stay here but be very careful! Some rooms are absolutely terrible, and I would never stay here without confirming the exact room in advance. Both we and our companions were horrified by our rooms and while the hotel was able to switch us after the first night I still feel somewhat robbed by the ridiculous price of the first night for rooms more befitting a cheap 1 star hotel.

Breakfast is far inferior to similarly priced hotels in major towns of tourism. It’s not bad, but the prepared foods in warming tubs was just meh and the presentation felt cheap. They would be far better served by removing a couple tables and putting out a more elegant spread.

The common areas of this formerly elegant private home are lovely. And the view off the back patio is delightful at sunset.

Staff were mostly friendly despite initially gruff and unsatisfactory response to our complaints about the rooms.

The location is good if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the old town. It’s a pleasant 15-20 minute walk to the castle and just 5-6 minutes to the tram the runs up and down princes street.

All in all not a place I would recommend without visual guarantee of the room, although I suspect the “deluxe” rooms do not carry the same risk as the “standard” rooms.

Enjoyed my stay here, albeit for one night. Had a room on the 4th floor facing the castle. Nothing fancy but, perfectly adequate for one person. It was a little warm so, the lack of a/c was evident for someone who is used to having it. Very warm and accommodating staff. Breakfast served in a nice room with a couple tables outside on the patio. Buffet with the option of a few hot dishes made to order. Lovely library on the first floor right out of a Harry Potter novel. 10-12 minute walk to Princes St. I would not hesitate to stay here again

The hotel is incredibly beautiful and was exactly as advertised when I first viewed their website a couple months ago when I booked. The view from our room was amazing. The staff were very helpful and helped us out with finding our way around and restaurants in the area. Breakfast was really good, especially the Eggs Royale (Scottish smoked salmon, yummy!). The only suggestion I’d have is to have a 2nd person helping out in the morning to help out with the breakfast crowd.

Room was clean and well kept. The shower was kind of tricky to use and water sprays everywhere. Our room had a view of the castle which we loved.

The elevator is a single elevator and very claustrophobic. Otherwise you have to climb a lot of stairs to the attic.

They have air fresheners that are plugged into the wall and are extremely over powering.

The breakfast was delicious and the coffee was fantastic.

Our triple room on the fourth floor was perfectly adequate, with great views of the Water of Leith. As this is an old, historic building, it took a bit to regulate the water temperature in the shower and some surfaces are a bit worn, but that’s to be expected. Liked the breakfast choices, and the staff is both friendly and professional. Since the clientele was of a more “mature” set, the whole place was quiet—easy to get a good night’s sleep. We also liked that it is located just a short walk from the West End tram stop. Would definitely stay here if we’re ever in Edinburgh again.

Great petite queen room (#22) with terrific view of Dean’s Village. We stayed May 1-4 and though the weather was chilly (lows in the upper 30’s) the temperature in the room was made perfect with the window cracked. One warning, the tile on the bathroom floor is very slick.
The library on the first floor (actually the second) is a wonderful place to enjoy a quiet moment.
The concierge was both the barkeep and in charge of checking folks into their rooms on the first night, but she had a lovely attitude and was extremely helpful. The second night, the young man was not able to get a drink for us (didn’t explain why), suggesting we go to their sister property next door. They don’t have any playing cards or games in the bar or library.
The made-to-order breakfast, served in the beautiful dining room is supplemented with an extensive continental spread.
The location is quiet, an easy walk to dinner in New Town. We were able to walk to High Street in Old Town in less than 20 minutes.
We took an Uber to and from Waverley (it is too far to walk lugging suitcases, but would have taken the bus to the nearest stop had we been more organized).
I will definitely stay here, again.

Pros: I came to Edinburgh for the week of Halloween and found this place to be a really lovely hotel in an old Georgian-style building with beautiful architecture. What sold me on it were the gorgeous library and the full breakfast included in the price. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood near Dean Village, about a 20-minute walk into the city center or a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest bus or tram stop. I had an awesome view of the castle from my room's window. Staff were very kind and attentive and offered to carry my bag up for me when the lift was broken, which was a life saver!

Cons: Aside from the lift, my only other disappointment was that the full breakfast (ordered from a menu) was only offered for the first few days of my 9-night stay, so I was only able to get the full Scottish breakfast a couple of times before they switched to a regular continental breakfast for the remainder of my time there. Cleaning staff also left someone else's used mug on my nightstand in my room once, which startled me a little since I was staying there alone. I believe they may have been short-staffed due to staff illness, so maybe these things couldn't be helped and are a one-off. Overall, I enjoyed my time staying there!

We tried ringing reception at 2250 on a Sat night - no answer and I wasn’t going down 4 flights of stairs on a Sat night
Full breakfast was anything but - 1 sausage , 1 slice of bacon, 1 egg , even the beans felt counted out
I asked for toast and got 1 slice
We asked for tea and got tea bags but no hot water

Disappointing Accommodations

The hotel location was great, within walking distance to many of the sights of Edinburgh. The rooms were sparse, cheap particle board furniture, poor lighting, no basics like tissues and water glasses, and stained upholstered furniture. Service was inconsistent, poor the first two days of my stay and much improved the last two days. Certainly not a four star hotel at a cost of $300+ per night.
