Gorgeous hotel with very helpful staff. Clean and very quiet, had a very nice stay. Not a city center hotel- you will have to take a taxi anywhere you want to go. Nothing is walking distance.

Cozy, clean and well appointed room, and surprisingly good food and wine at the grill. The airport transfer service was the cherry on top which made this a perfect place to stay overnight before we caught a morning flight.

Amazing staff in a fantastic hotel! Quality of the building and furnishings are excellent. The room was superbly clean and like the rest of the hotel really luxurious. Also the breakfast was tremendous.

10/10 Exceptional

This is a wonderful hotel with all modern amenities and modern decor. We only stayed one night and went to the airport the next day but I would stay again. Keep in mind the property is not “close” to any downtown area so you would need a car to get into Old Edinburgh or plan to take taxis. It is kind of nice to be more secluded though.

Great hotel that gathers you up from the outside world and helps you to switch off. Nice presented rooms and very reasonably priced given the location. Transport is easy into the city centre. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff.

Fantastic stay at a beautiful hotel. My room was spectacular and the staff were amazing. My only issue was several guests had doubled parked making parking in the car park difficult. Not the fault of the hotel or staff.
