"The location is exceptional. We had a great view of Edinburgh Castle from our window, and only a few minutes walk to all the best restaurants and shops on Grassmarket and Royal Mile. Definitely one of the best hotels in Edinburgh. We received a free coffee/tea voucher upon arrival, though it would've been nice to receive two since there were two of us staying in the room. Coffee is usually complimentary at other hotels of this level."

"This hotel is chic, elegant, warm and cozy - the perfect place to come home to after a day of walking. And walk you will because the location, steps away from Edinburgh Castle on the Royal Mile, cannot be beat. Our room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable and having our own kitchenette allowed us to take our time in the mornings. Cannot recommend this gem enough. "

"Beautiful hotel - inside and outside. We were treated wonderfully well and all the staff were so welcoming and engaged with our young daughter. We loved the little Easter treats they gave her.

Excellent room - really spacious and loved the full sized toiletries in the bathroom. A truly special place that we will definitely be staying at again."
