    Delicious food, overall nice and little place.

    Sensational breakfast with a great selection of bacon, toast, fresh bread, pastries, and croissants. Tidy rooms with lovely beds and wake-up service. Exceptionally good views in a great and unbeatable location near the centre of Edinburgh. Again, walking distance to a combined museum.

    Wonderful base for a wedding ceremony, has lovely view over open gardens which I overlooked. Magnificent and perfect location as it is minute walk from monuments and a cathedral. The hotel's restaurant is astonishing for dinner.

    The place was well priced, with its very amiable staff from receptionist who explained all. The room I booked was cleaned or new towels and available for the value.

    Unfortunately, there was no restaurant.

    Fairly clean and functional place and the breakfast was savoury and free. I booked double room, thoroughly enjoyed it, and spent 4 days in it. The staff were very informative, particularly good location also close to other tourists attractions. This hotel met requirements!

    As for me, the area was very ordinary.

    Warm and savoury start of the day with toast, bread, cereal, pastries, and croissants. Incredible, perfect location in the relatively quiet area. Excellent service during our stay.

    A bit small bathroom.

    All in all, it's little place that has wonderful and fantastic staff at reception desk. The location is unbeatable, relatively close to a 16th-century palace.
