Cute and quirky little place

Very quirky entrance and you go through the restaurant and bar to get to the hotel rooms, which felt a little strange but super friendly staff. Corridors and stairwells felt a bit too dark and smelt a bit damp but room was nicely equipped and clean enough. Floor was very uneven and creaky and upstairs above us was very loud, you could hear every footstep. We were room 7. Breakfast was really nice and overall we would recommend as the price was very good and location was only 15 mins walk to the main streets and Waverley train station.

Lovely boutique hotel, clean fresh rooms, the staff were wonderful, great breakfast and a lovely relaxed vibe in the evening for cocktails. Very central. The only reason I’ve given them a 4 for facilities and not 5 is that our room was on the third floor, 6 flights of steps with no lift. Difficult at 65 with a bad hip. The room overlooked the back alley, and you heard the loud noise of empty bottles being emptied into the skip. But that aside I would stay here again….but would ask for a lower floor. The manager and staff were great

Fint men väldigt varmt rum

Fint rum, bra läge. Mycket att välja på till frukost. Men det tar tid att äta frukost. Tips! Fyll på kaffet. Istället för nya koppar. Låt gästerna ta kaffe själva.

For what was effectively a room above a pub, what it lacked in finesse it more than made up for with the following: big fluffy white towels, hairdryer straighteners, big bed & coffee machine. Well stocked fridge, if required

The atmosphere of the hotel was excellent, the restaurant and bar had very good food options. There was no lift and there was no extractor in the bathroom, so the room felt quite humid.
