“This restored Georgian townhouse provides a conveniently located base for exploring Edinburgh's historical attractions. I appreciate the automated self-check-in, especially for late arrivals, and the family-run service aims to offer a personalized stay. While the rooms are basic, the hotel's proximity to Waverley Station and the option for larger family accommodations, including a three-bedroom apartment, are definite advantages.”

Excellent Central Stay

spacious roomconvenient locationtricky stairs
the triple room was spacious and clean. comfy beds were especially welcome, and the hotel's proximity to the james quarter was convenient. i appreciated using only the tram to get to and from the airport, finding the location ideal for accessing everything.
my basement room was fine, but navigating the stairs with luggage proved a little tricky. the coded key release system seemed to have some issues during check-in. staff was present to help, thankfully.

The location allows easy access to the city center. The room had tea and coffee supplied. I even found a spare heater in my room! This was a single room with a FABULOUS bathroom.
It was very noisy. I could hear people coming in late on their phones. The kettle had to be moved to be plugged in. These were minor inconveniences though.
