Stayed there with boyfriend (now ex but not because of hotel:-) Room was cute if a bit flowery. Perfectly acceptable and a pretty good price for Edinburgh. Great view from top of road and good location in the new town 2 mins off Princes Street. We were gobsmacked to find that as they didn't have a restaurant we were allowed to have breakfast at Ricks across the road which is one of the city's trendiest bars by night and serves a mean breakfast. I'd definitely go back for that alone!

Festival Time at the hotel

The location rocks on this place. It’s in New Town right in the center of upscale shopping and swanky swank. The hotel was darling. It reminded me of a Victorian Bed and Breakfast, but was a total hotel. The rooms were large and comfy, however, we were spoiled at this point and were not ready to your average size tub. But oh well. Here is to poop on the digs of this 3 star but I give it 5 star hotel:
Rooms The rooms all vary in size and are decorated in a very traditional style. The bathrooms are light and modern. The rooms are in a good condition and a few on the higher floors have a view to the Firth of Forth. Restaurant The hotel does not have a restaurant at all. Breakfast is served in an excellent new cafe which is situated opposite the hotel. Exterior It is a traditional Georgian terrace building which has been converted into a hotel. Lobby The lobby is long and narrow, leading into a small lounge which has two sofas. General A very popular hotel with an excellent location. (ML 06/03)
