This is a beautiful hotel in an historic building in New Town Edinburgh. The staff was friendly and helpful. The service was impeccable. We ate at both the Le Petit Beefbar and Burr and co and enjoyed them both. The hotel is near Rose Street with tons of restaurants and Pubs. We liked that it was a relatively short walk to the noisy and busy Royal Mile, but it is in a much more quiet area. Highly recommended!

Very well situated for many of the main attractions in Edinburgh and for bus, tram and train links. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Rooms were comfortable and clean. There was a good variety of breakfast food options. Slight drawbacks were: our room was pretty noisy (lift, fridge motor, other people's doors slamming and people moving about in the room above), the bathroom is rather cramped and presents a challenge to get in and out of the bath particularly the way the shower screen operated and finally to access some areas of the hotel (eg gym) there was a very convoluted route to and from our hotel room.
