“I found this to be a charming, historically-themed boutique hotel, advantageously located for city exploration and near Edinburgh's main attractions. The full Scottish breakfast stood out for its quality and variety, while the well-stocked honesty bar and courtyard contributed to a relaxed, social atmosphere. While rooms might run small, the decor aims to reflect local cultural aesthetics.”
