From the moment we walked in the staff was so welcoming and accommodating. Any questions we had they were ready to answer and any issues we had they were available to help. The breakfast was phenomenal, it was legit like a restaurant with full service not your typical continental breakfast. I would definitely go back!

Great little hotel just south of the main area. Buses a quick walk (2 blocks). Kevin and Susan are great hosts and go out of their way to help. I left something on a bus and Kevin made arrangements to pick it up and send it to me in the US. And the breakfast is also wonderful.

My initial impression kerbside where underwhelming - in fact I drove past the hotel twice in the dark. However when I checked out I had come to appreciate the care and attention the owners had provided. My room was small but very well equipped. The breakfast was beyond 5 star in service, choice and quality. Other than the weird council restrictions on street parking and the rather precipitous stairs the stay was memorable. Would I return there, yes absolutely. Great service and attention to detail trumps a parking hassle and steep stairs for me.

Perfect!
The hotel is a little gem, tucked away near the base of Arthur's Seat. We only stayed for one night, but we can honestly say it was a brilliant experience! The staff-member at reception was incredibly friendly (and so was his awesome dog), and he helped us get reacquainted with the ins-and-outs of Edinburgh. The room was clean and meticulously kept, with complimentary tea and biscuits, and bottled water (which was welcome after hours on the train). The cooked vegetarian breakfast was perfect, and we got a chance to meet the owner – he was incredibly friendly and helpful, and he clearly pours a lot of love and care into making sure everybody is taken care of. We will definitely be back in the future, what a great experience! (p.s. when you stay at the hotel and meet that awesome dog, throw the ball, she is deaf and that little ball is her world!)

A refreshing change from faceless chain hotels.
How refreshing to stay in a friendly, family run small hotel rather than a faceless chain hotel. We had two adjacent rooms and both were spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The shower was amazing - could have stayed in there for hours! Both rooms were very quiet with no noise from traffic or anything else. Breakfast was delicious- freshly cooked to order. The owners were lovely people - friendly and helpful. Would most definitely recommend this hotel. Location was good too- with good transport links if you didn’t have a car.

Good hosts and well maintained accommodation
Susan gave us a warm welcome. She was very helpful explaining how to get around in Edinburgh. Kevin was very cheerful and willing to meet our breakfast request. The breakfast was delicious and plenty. The room was spacious and warm enough for the winter. The breakfast area was well decorated. I like the rain drops on the door glass panel, they looked very pretty just like crystals.
