Great time at the Canny Man’s

Excellent rooms with a great pub and restaurant downstairs. This is the second time I have stayed here and my third visit will be next week. So handy for local shopping in Morningside and Bruntsfield and on good bus routes for the rest of Edinburgh

Great place to stay. Recommend mentioning that if guests wish to have evening meal in the Canny Man pub it is advisable to book in advance. We didn't but although we eventually got a table, had to be squeezed in between existing tables after a 10 minute uncertain wait.

We enjoyed our stay, staff were so helpful. We did have concerns about parking, but it turned out ok. Hopefully in the future we will be back again, and we would'nt hesitate to recommend it.

Facilities were nice but bed was very uncomfortable and it’s a little ways away from the center of town. Pretty expensive for what it is

Keys had to be collected from the Canny Man pub next door, very welcoming and invited us back after getting settled in our room for a complimentary drink. The Chandelier Room (with modern Chandelier) had a very large bathroom, possibly suitable for wheelchair though access at the front is stairs (maybe another entrance?). Breakfast was superb, Scottish, Continental and Vegetarian options. Warm friendly atmosphere with quirky decor covering the time periods of the pub.

Cute hotel, parking available and a pub next door. Clean and comfortable. I would have liked a chair in the room. Not really comfortable for hanging out in the room.

Very friendly welcome on arrival and room was super…comfortable, spacious, clean and huge! We had the Watson suite. Great base for getting in and out of Edinburgh by bus or taxi, and lots of cafes and small shops if you want to stay local. Canny Mans is a fabulous pub…very popular, but no issue for us with noise at night either. Will happily stay again.
