"I loved everything about the hotel and staff! They greeted us with a warm smile and hello from the moment we arrived and every time they saw us throughout our stay. The hotel is so interesting, unique, beautifully decorated, and has great guest accommodations. They provided a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, towels, hand towels, wash cloths, robes, slippers, bar soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, liquid hand soap, shower cap, razor, toothpaste and toothbrush, bottled water, sparkling water, tea set-up, coffee set-up and caramel/chocolate bars. There’s also a full mini-bar and the prices were the most reasonable I’ve ever seen. They also had plenty of power outlets and many standard USB ports. They brought a bucket of ice upon request. The beds were very comfortable and I give the pillows a solid B+ rating. We travel a LOT and most hotels, even the nice ones, have garbage pillows. Housekeeping did an Excellent job keeping our room stocked and tidy. They came twice a day, which I love. It’s nice coming back after walking 20k steps to a clean room with dim lights and curtains pulled. They also have a direct line to a local cab company at the front door, so grabbing a cab is a breeze. The restaurant, Eve, was delicious! We ordered it as room service for dinner one night. Needless to say, our stay was very comfortable and I would highly recommend it for the amenities, exceptional guest service, as well as location. We will return!"
"Comfy, modern and quiet rooms. Clean and updated shower/bathroom. The property is tucked away surrounded by idyllic gardens and picturesque vistas with castle-like buildings nearby. Very convenient bus stop down the street. Top-notch staff are attentive and there's a chic bar area for a night cap."
"Excellent and friendly welcome, room was checked over before giving us the keys, answered our questions (regarding public transport to Edinburgh).
Good night’s sleep, comfortable and quiet.
Good continental breakfast in the morning was good, with good service, option of coffees which where brought to the table.
Would recommend this hotel, not large but good."
"Excellent property. No air conditioning or way to regulate room temp except a barely open window. The noise is big until 2 am because several bars across street and castle has military tattoo. Comfortable and adequate. They clean well but when we checked in the outside of our toilet had a small smear of stool. Thank goodness we had Clorox wipes"
