“The location, a short walk from Waverley station and Calton Hill, places you perfectly for exploring Edinburgh. I appreciate the blend of Jacobean and Georgian styles, along with the old lift. It all gives a feel of actually living in the city's history, with a whisky bar downstairs for a nightcap.”

The staff allowed an early check-in after the room had been cleaned. The room had strong WiFi. The hotel also provided yummy cookies. Breakfast was included.
The room was small considering the price paid. The shower leaked all over the floor after use. The glass screen offered little protection. This setup caused some inconvenience.
