They helped carry bags from the entrance to the lobby since there is a flight of stairs. The room service was great and I loved that it was available at all times because our sleep schedule from travel was really wonky. ##### Savanna Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lindsay 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel, great location.

However the lack of a lift to the ground floor is really an inconvenience. Also the rooms are small the the TVs are really outdated. Forget about any options to use a Chromecast or mirror your device. The shower is also rather poor and the rooms are quite small. On a future visit we would stay elsewhere. ##### Gerald Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen 12 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Best location in Edinburgh! ##### Kathleen Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful old building.
