In a quiet seemingly residential area but just a short walk from a busy intersection where one can pick up the tram to the airport! So, one can also get the tram FROM the airport and walk a short distance to the hotel.

A really well done conversion into a hotel. The lobby was clean and modern the staff was reserved but friendly. Great touches, but a little impersonal.

Very comfortable, with everything required for a weekend stay EXCEPT we would have liked a full length mirror in our room. The reception staff were lovely, & 1 gentleman in particular was extremely helpful, which we really appreciated.

The aesthetic of the rooms was very nice. The property is odd in that it a conversion of several rowhouses, so you had to go up and down various stairs to access the rooms. My only complaint is the lack of amenities. There is no laundry service, no iron in the room, and the bathrooms are very tiny. I am over 6 ft. tall, and the sink was halfway up my thighs. The staff was very nice and accommodating. They will hold your room key (old fashioned solid metal key, and you had to manually lock your room door when you left for the day.

Everything was perfect. Clean, ammenities and mostly all the staff was amicable. The only thing was a bolnde woman who "recieved" us at our arrival. She was a chating with a coworker and ignored us until she finished her gossips. After that a lot of nastiness. Hopefully we bever saw her again in the remianing days. Another thing is that most doors in hotel creak the whole time. Some oil in the hinges solves this. The hotel is in a good location, although a bit far from attractions. Room was big and clean, wifi was OK and the rest of the staff very friendly

It is a wonderful place to stay. There is no elevator. The staff did carry my luggage up to the fourth floor, but obviously they do not carry it down when you check out (maybe if asked?) I found the old building wonderful, but this is not a typical hotel. It is a boutique hotel. It is very close to several places to eat or drink, but off the tourist/beaten path. It is still very walkable to so many tourist places though. Any walk in Edinburgh is hilly. Know you will be walking up & down wherever you stay. It was an easy (uphill) walk to Waverly Station. The room was large for UK standards for sure. I would stay here again, even though I wish breakfast were available.

A rat sneaked into the room on the first night of my stay. Horrified, it woke my mum up as she quickly attempted to trap it in the cupboard as to not damage our clothes or the luggage in the room. The next morning, i complained about this to the hotel staff, who at the reception, were very kind and helpful. They said the rat probably came from a small crack within the outside walls, and they switched our rooms. They also agreed to provide a refund for the first night, which was now ruined. However, the problem amplified within the upper management. The receptionist told me my complaint would be "forwarded to the person handling refunds" in order to provide me with one. Let me be clear, as i'm writing this I stayed in the hotel 2 weeks ago and i have YET to be approached or contacted. I asked the reception again and again for any updates on my case and they kept saying i'd be contacted "soon". Now one of the 2 things are probably happening here. 1) Either the process of refunding one night really takes this hotel more than 2 weeks (very unlikely), or 2) The management in charge of it is stalling on purpose, not contacting me in the hopes of me just forgetting about it and moving on so that they wouldn't have to reach into their pockets to pay a fair night's refund. I don't know about you, but the latter seems what's happening to me right now. The reception is really friendly, it's just the management that seems to be the problem here.
