We didn't know there would be live music downstairs until 11:30pm, preventing us from getting a good night's sleep on a Friday. Not sure if this is an issue weekday nights- ask the property. Too bad, since room was large, modern, and clean. Had a Nepresso as well as the usual tea kettle, etc., which was nice. Our room had the water closet (toilet) separate from the shower/tub which was nice, but neither had an exhaust fan. There is no lift, but the staff will help bring luggage upstairs. Food in the bar was convenient, fairly priced for being on The Mile, and was good (not great, but good).

This is the best place to stay in old town. The rooms are spacey, very comfortable bed, the bathrooms are modern, great shower pressure, heated towel rack. Love everything about. The staff were very helpful and kind. However if you’re not able to do stairs, this would be a problem. We were in room 5 and there were 60 stairs. But there are landings so you can rest. Worth the climb though.

This is a beautiful old building right on the Royal Mile but with beautifully renovated bathroom and spotless linens on a very comfortable bed. My window looked out on a vista of Edinburgh but the room was amazingly quiet given the Fringe Festival taking place out on the street. Restaurant on ground floor had breakfast and pub drinks and food, with live guitar music in the evenings. I was out all day everyday with friends at the Festival and came back quite late in the evenings. Key card got me in if staff was not still there. And no worries at all about safety. The only drawback was no lift and these old homes had hugely high ceilings, meaning that the climb up to my room was long. So, this would not work for people with disabilities, but the whole city of Edinburgh is FULL of steps and hills, so not a wise choice to visit for people who cannot climb up and down. I really loved this hotel and would recommend it highly.

A great location for the fringe

Overall a great stay however the room wasn’t serviced even though we had requested it and the room was noisy at night. To be fair though the location is amazing and due to location it will be rowdy at night

Nice exclusive room in a 9 room boutique hotel. The staff could accommodate our needs (early check in, help with luggage). Located on the main tourist street of Edinburgh. Most attractions are accessible by foot. Rooms are on 3 floors above street level. No elevator (could be problematic for some customers; just be aware of that). Bar-restaurant with singer on site. Highly recommended.

Above-and-Beyond Service!

The inn is beautiful and quiet despite being right in the middle of the Royal Mile historic district. That alone would have been worth five stars, but on the morning of check-out, my wife wasn’t feeling well, and while the inn was fully committed, Jayne at the front desk arranged for us to stay in the room as long as possible, connected us with a sister hotel for an early check-in, and assisted us with our bags. This was our first international trip, and we were so appreciative of Jayne’s kindness and dedication to great service. We can’t recommend this stay enough!

It was a wonderful room and staff was attentive. Cleanliness was great. We didnt read closely enough to realize that having a room on the first floor meant the luve music from the restaurant rtea waa quite noticeable. Our mistake.
