Loved by Ivy House Hotel guests
"The bed, sheets and pillows were more comfortable than my own at home and ensured a good night's sleep."
"The venue is conveniently located not too far from Haymarket train station and thus close to the city centre and Edinburgh west end."
"With a shared bathroom, I particularly liked having a sink in the room, which made life a lot easier when filling the kettle, or even just washing my hands."
