This was a lovely hotel. The fund was superb & well priced. There was no lift so not very accessible. Cases had to be carried up the stairs & staff didn’t volunteer to help. The hotel ground floor looked good but as you went up the stairs it began to look more worn & threadbare.

Disliked: Amenities
The room we had was very small and dark. It had all it should have but not what we were expecting. There was no room service, no refreshing of tea/coffee mugs and tea/coffee selection. If we had a view from our room - we did not it was on the lower/ground floor- it would have been wonderful, sadly not for us. Would not stay here again.

Good area for the hotel . Bus right into center is easy and parking is nice . The rooms are nosy and not worth the money . Our wardrobe had dirt in it which made our clothes dirty. Breakfast was average and did not have much selection . Staff were helpful and nice .

From the outside the hotel is charming but the rooms are very tired with bubbling wallpaper and paint chipping off the base boards, the shower base also flooded and had to be stopped half way through. The staff were exceptional

Cosy, comfortable, pleasant

Lovely room with view over park. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Breakfast was good - plenty of choice. Dinner was excellent and staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel is looking a bit tired and could do with a bit of a freshen up but otherwise everything was fine. Good transport links into Edinburgh and handy for the bypass if travelling further afield. Would definitely come back again.

Unique hotel with old world charm. Friendly staff...our only issue was the broken heater in our bathroom that was on both days and scalding hot which radiated into the room.beautiful view from the terrace not so much from our room which faced the garbage bins...but overall a pleasant enough stay.

Great Hotel for accessing Edinburgh

The staff at reception and the whole hotel, were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The breakfeast was excellent and the hotel is well postioned for good walks at the hermitage and with a bus stop just across the road making the city easily accessible.
