They took time to show on a map their favorite places and were very considerate about our luggage and kept it safe until our room was ready. The front office staff also seemed almost excited to help and to me that was amazing. Highly recommend. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7ed1217-c23e-4f9f-8620-2c3a6bb3a3db-1764516643919.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0946c758-54e8-46ef-915b-e0c6373a7038-1764516646370.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bd9d55cf-662e-4377-8447-2b1daf17a20b-1764516645552.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8a6496e1-f8d5-4e97-870c-4cb8a1a6696a-1764516645384.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Shana Amanda Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara Nov 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s a beautiful hotel in every way. However, the carpet throughout the hotel needed to be cleaned which I suppose was a challenge during the very rainy weather Edinburgh was experiencing. ##### Barbara Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shane Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great property and great rooms at the center of downtown. ##### Shane Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Margareth Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved our room and the character.

There was a young blonde waitress in the breakfast room that looked like she had just woken up, not brushed her hair and her white shirt looked like she had slept in it, it was so creased and tatty. She also has a bad work ethic standing at the toaster to keep warm and not lifting dish!! ##### Sheila Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela Oct 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Edinburgh Very friendly staff.
