Brilliant establishment and the staff make this place extra special! Can highly recommend staying here and enjoying the pub and food in the restaurant. A special thank you to Charlene who looks after the rooms and Nikki one of the chefs. Here for 3 nights and would stay longer but fully booked!

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.

Wonderful place to stay
This is a lovely hotel, brilliantly situated and really well run. I was welcomed very professionally, shown my room and then offered a free drink in the wonderful bar at the Canny Mann’s. Bed very comfy, room beautifully clean and the bathroom excellent. Really can’t fault the stay. Also there are some very nice cafes and restaurants in the area so plenty of food options available.

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.

Great location
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 convenient location from me but it's not a casual stroll into town due to the hills. Only issue is no breakfast, but there are plenty of cafes on the main street. OK, if you have to work from the room for a couple of days.

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

The Lane Hotel is a wonderful find, and truly lives up to its high ratings. Management was very helpful and accommodating during our arrival and stay. The room was beautiful, functional, and comfortable. The property’s location is perfect for a stay in Edinburgh. We were absolutely thrilled with our experience and wish we could have spent several more days at the Lane Hotel.

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.
