Tired in places. But it is really old. So can allow that

Great place. Love the architecture. History. But most of all the staff.

The rooms were really cramped. Shower only had a rain head. We felt the rooms were slightly overpriced.

The staff was incredible. So friendly and helpful. Location was good for Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood. Nice breakfast. Beautiful building.

Everything was great.

A nice old Victorian house. I had a nice room with a separate small working area. The wash room with a shower was nice and clean. The double bed was big an comfortable. The staff was nice and helpful. Breakfast was served in a nice stylish restaurant. There was a buffet as well as several warm options to order, I went for the Full Scotish Breakfast. It was great. There is a nice trust bar on the ground floor.

The room was very cold - we came in October where it was sometimes as low as 2 degrees during the night and sadly the hotel has no insulation and despite trying to heat our room all our stay it was very cold during the night. We asked reception for an extra blanket, which helped a bit but it was still quite cold. The view from the room. We were given a room with a quite poor view - room 22. Perhaps we were just unlucky but the window was overlooking the passage and the sister hotel the scholar, which unfortunately isn’t very pretty to look at. We have received an attic room although I did request a non-attic room on booking.

Located in the beautiful and charming building All the common areas are absolutely gorgeous, the honesty bar is amazing to go for a drink and listen to some calming music. We didn’t have breakfast but the, room for the breakfast was great as well. A huge bonus for us was the complimentary coffee (with a quality coffee machine) and tea offered in the common areas, which you could also take-away from which was incredibly convenient for us.

The approach for taxis. Google maps don’t let taxi apps get to the right location. You need to walk 5-6 mins to get to the right location

One issue: we had an early tour and asked at check in if a boxed breakfast was possible. The young woman said, of course no problem and we agreed for 7 am. Later that evening I asked, the same clerk, if there would be water bottles with the boxed breakfast and she assured me there would be water. The next morning, at 7, the woman running reception had no idea we needed a boxed breakfast, so it seemed. She had many clients to juggle, and wanted to help us. She managed to package something, yet without water. She asked for help, and someone fetched a few water bottles. Not sure where/how this fell through the cracks. But since giving up on your beautiful breakfast is a loss, the boxed lunch concept should be quality and processed better. Thanks.

Red room. Breakfast. Our room. Grounds. Windows open. Heating. All great.

One of the most well served breakfast ever. Good selection from menu and fascinating place where to enjoy your breakfast from the dining room to the lovely close by garden you can appreciate with a window seat.

Cleaning a little bit better (chemicals smell in the room and hair in the shower). Our check in was a lil delayed because of room not being ready but it is minor.

Beautiful place, so cozy and welcoming. Amazing receptionist from England, her smile is contagious and so helpful. Breakfast was incredible. Rating in 9 only because there is always space to grow but overall perfect.

We enjoyed the warm welcome from the staff and the hotel was beautiful.
