In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Excellent central location — A minute's walk from a tram station and close to the Royal Mile and other tourist hotspots, yet quiet enough that guests report no noise disturbance.
  • Spotless, well-presented rooms — Guests repeatedly describe the property as immaculate and the rooms as brand new, with a comfortable, boutique feel.
  • Attentive service — Staff are frequently praised for being lovely, helpful, and proactive, from offering meal reservations to arranging a champagne gesture.
  • Breakfast in your room — A standout feature is breakfast served in the room, which guests call perfect and convenient.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Inconsistent hot water — At least one guest reported no hot water and noted it seems to be a recurring issue according to TripAdvisor; a rate reduction was not offered.
  • Some rooms lack a kettle and iron — While many rooms include a kettle, safe, and iron, one guest found them missing and suggested they would be a useful addition.
  • Restaurant requires pre-booking — Guests who didn't reserve ahead missed out on dinner at the on-site restaurant, so it's worth booking in advance.
