Warm and welcoming stay for New Year
The hotel is warm, traditional and comfortable. Our chosen room sadly flooded the night before we arrived but the staff were more than attentive in offering us an alternative and refunding the difference. The breakfast was superb also. The location is a little outside the old town but if you don’t mind a mile walk it’s no problem at all

Fabulous hotel
The building itself is stunning with beautiful furnishings in the reception room. Our room was great and even had steps up to a wee turret. The shower room was lovely, spacious and light with a great shower. The bedding was really sumptuous, we went home wanting to buy it for our own bed. Both members of staff at check in and check out we're efficient and friendly.

Wonderful weekend
We arrived late and it was difficult to work out how to get to the hotel There is no lift so you have to take the stairs The room had just been refurbished and was beautiful especially the shower and bathroom The staff where amazing and the breakfast was good. Vegetarian options available The one down side is there is no bar ! In the hotel, you have to go out and get a drink either at the hotel next door before 22:00 or off campus ( the hotel is in Edinburgh university
