I had a wonderful stay at this hotel!

Liked:The receptionist is a very nice young man who speaks very good English and who is willing to help any issue I have during my stay. The room is spacious compare to most of the hotel rooms in UK and Europe. The bath room is very clean. They do not provide breakfast but they have a Cafe room providing multiple snacks and Cafe free of charge.

A Cozy Home Away from Home in Edinburgh

Liked:Our stay was wonderful. The hotel combines the charm of a beautiful Victorian house with all the modern comforts needed for a comfortable stay. Everything was spotless, well maintained, and very cozy. The location was perfect for us: about a 30-minute walk from Edinburgh’s Old Town, and with bus stops directly across the street if you prefer not to walk. Being slightly outside the busiest areas also makes it a quiet and peaceful place to rest after a day of sightseeing. We especially loved the daily Tunnock’s Tea Cakes left in our room—a small touch that made us smile every day. This hotel truly felt like a home away from home, and we would happily stay here again. Pura vida from Costa Rica!

Disliked:If we had to mention one thing, it would be that having breakfast included would have been a lovely addition. However, we understand that this is not the concept of the hotel, and there are several nice cafés and restaurants nearby. It certainly did not detract from an otherwise excellent stay.
