Great room, but know one on site. Response with WhatsApp was a little too slow. If traveling in summer please no A/c anywhere. Not enough fans provided

The hotel was in a good location, parking available over the weekend outside the hotel so easy to access (restrictions midweek). The room was spacious, clean and cutely decorated. Not a criticism but just a recommendation: still water available as opposed to sparkling. Another mirror in the room (preferably full length) as there were 4 of us in the room. Would definitely recommend to others and would consider coming back. Despite it being a self check in service, the process was straightforward and we had no issues.

We really enjoyed our stay here; clean, quiet, beautiful decor, beds were comfortable. Water pressure out of the shower was great! The decor was elegant but unique and not overdone. Location was great, just enough outside of city center to be quiet. Check in process was smooth and easy; the host was so available and so quick to respond with any questions! If I come back to Edinburgh, I’d definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay. The room was clean with comfortable beds. The bathroom had been redone at some point and was nice. There was a slight problem with our room before we got there, but the staff had it all worked out before we arrived. It was also right on the bus route which was convenient.

Muy bien todo… Lo único es que no se si no lo leí antes o no lo aclaran. El servicio de limpieza a las habitaciones cada 2 días, esto no lo sabía. Entonces nosotros estuvimos solo 2 noches y no tuvimos servicio. Todo lo demás! Muy bien! Vuelvo a llegar ahí feliz!

Very clean, spacious room set in a grand home on the outskirts of the city. Very convenient to the local bus stop. As long as you are comfortable with technology it’s a great place to stay - no staff on site, so you check in on the iPad in the foyer and create your own room key.

This was my first time checking in to this kind of independent hotel service, so I was nervous about how it would play out. The instructions were very clear and concise, and everything went smoothly and stress-free. Great experience!

Danny • Couple Trip

Room and bathroom were very clean. One staff member was there when we checked in. He was helpful and friendly. Location was good but parking is limited around the building. We stayed in the smaller room which was a tight fit for 2 people and luggage. We would stay again but get a bigger room.

Good location with an enjoyable walk into the centre. Staff answered my many questions beforehand and were very courteous. We stayed in a family room, which was big enough and very clean. Would recommend highly. Thanks
