Pleasant find
Posted: Mon, Jun 15 2009
Stayed 3 nites while in Edinburgh. Located within 10 min walk of Dean Bridge bus route. Old row houses that were tastefully converted into charming, quiet hotel. Wonderful staff, nice bar/cafe, clean room w/comfy bed, huge bathroom and they had washcloths. Scott, concierge most helpful in booking us coach tour thru Timberbush to Glencoe, Lochness, Highlands. Would highly recommend them as well. Breakfast buffet included cereals, pastries, sliced meats/cheeses, fruit, juices, breads.

Cozy and Great Location

My in-laws had stayed here twice before us. The beds were very comfortable and the bar in the basement was nice. We also were able to walk to town from the hotel yet there didn't seem to be a lot of traffic around the hotel.

A Wonderful Hotel!!

Large, clean!!, beautiful room with a large very modern bath. This hotel was more than you could ask for. The staff was suberb!! Only a 5 min. walk to the bus to get to downtown Edinburgh. Very safe neighborhood. The breakfast was excellent, book your room with it included. The bar downstairs stayed open as long as there were guest to be served. It was a great place to top off a day of sightseeing. We would highly reccommend this hotel to our friends and would definately stay here again.

What a Great Find

This hotel is about a 15 minute walk into the city and in a very leafy and quiet area. There are several buses into town. The hotel was originally several large town houses elegantly refurbished into one large premise. There are fascinating photos of Shackleton, the explorer who apparently lived in the house. The staff are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. The buffet breakfast is huge and the food in the restaurant is absolutely delicious. We would certainly use this hotel again.
