“This adults-only Georgian townhouse, nestled in Edinburgh's historic Old Town, immediately appealed with its serene atmosphere and coded self-entry. Its location near Edinburgh Castle and local eateries makes it ideal for leisure travel, with housekeeping and luggage storage adding to the convenience. In my opinion, it presents a cozy and well-situated retreat for couples and solo adventurers alike.”

the staff was very friendly and helpful. i wish to go again.
the room was really small with little space for personal items. the bathroom was tiny and there were no shelves, so i was moving things around from the floor to the sink. there were no bathroom outlets either.

mixed feelings about the stay
thin wallssmall bathroom
the walls were thin and I heard EVERY conversation in the hallway. the room itself felt cramped. the bathroom was small. THERE was no elevator, so lugging my suitcase up the stairs was REALLY annoying, especially after a long day of travel.

Charming Stay in a Good Location
central locationhelpful staffdaily cleaningtidy room
The location was perfect, it was very close to the city center. Many great cafés were nearby. The staff was friendly and helpful. They carried our bags up to our room because there is no elevator. The room was cleaned almost every day, so it felt tidy and comfortable.
The window did not have curtains that could completely darken the room. Blinds do not completely shut though.

The hotel's proximity to key attractions was really amazing. I found a bus stop right in front. This offered convenient transportation options. The hotel is within walking distance of many popular tourist spots.

I noticed the hotel is close to a fantastic French bakery. That was so convenient. It provided an easy way to enjoy delicious breakfasts. There were also several cafés nearby, and these offered many choices for coffee and light meals.

The staff displayed excellent politeness and friendliness . They seemed genuine. I appreciated their helpfulness and willingness to provide tips for the city. They even assisted with carrying luggage to rooms on upper floors.

the staff was friendly enough, and my room was clean.
my room had a separate bathroom down the hall, and that was not clear when i booked it. this meant i had to walk outside the room to access it, and it was inconvenient. the bathroom it self was quite small too.
