"We stayed for 2 nights. Myself, my husband, our 20 yr old daughter and my parents. Rooms were very clean, but small. The website did make that clear due to the age of the hotel. The beds were very small if you’re booking for a 3 person room, they are small twin beds. Electrical outlets were a bit of an issue. They were 2 prong outlets by the beds, of which we didn’t have converters for and the 3 prong UK converter which we had but we’re not in close proximity to beds for charging phones or...

"**Review:** We had an amazing stay at this hotel with Laura as our wonderful host. The location was perfectly situated in New Town, with everything comfortably close and within walking distance. On our first day, the hosts kindly circled must-visit areas on the map, making it easy for us to explore, even with our 5-year-old. The Mavyn Cafe on the first floor was a gem, opening early with fantastic coffee and pastries. I highly recommend trying the bramble and lavender loaf! Whenever we needed...

"The hotel is beautiful inside . My room was lovely and spotless . The hotel was clean . Most of staff at checkout are task oriented and their attitude does not reflect the level of service I’d expect in this prestige hotel therefore I will never be back . Also a hammering noise at 10 pm that went on for a good twenty mins wasn’t welcome . The waiting staff were very polite and friendly unlike the reception staff . "
