Lovely homely hotel in a beautiful period property, very comfortable! Close to plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants, and not forgetting The Canny Man's next door, which is a cracky pub with lots of character. There are loads of buses in and out of the centre, or to Leith if you wish to explore there too, so this is a great neighbourhood to stay in the city. We highly recommend this place, and we're hoping to return again in the not-so-distant future.

What a night out. Beers in the pub, then dinner with wine, then upstairs to bed. Everything in one place and all of it really enjoyable from the first complimentary drink to the final dessert. Don’t forget to try the world famous Bloody Mary, it’s one of your five a day 😂

The staff was remarkable. Every effort was made for us to have a perfect stay. The food and bar were great. 3/4 of us do not drink alcohol and the bartender had certification in non alcohol drinks! It was so fun for us to be able have fun drinks along with our friends!

We stayed here for our last night before flying back to Canada. It is a cute boutique hotel, but is seeing some wear and tear. The attached pub is fantastic and has a great authentic neighborhood feel. The staff are excellent.
