Pros
First floor facade features significant rustication carved in Roman/Greek style
Outdoor terrace includes a retractable roof for all-weather use
Seven restaurants and bars within 0.3 miles radius
Original period features preserved throughout the property
Cons
Terrace access limited during private events
Some standard twin rooms located on lower ground floor with skylight windows only
“Behind an unassuming façade lies a hotel that successfully marries Georgian elegance with modern boutique sensibilities, particularly appealing for couples seeking a memorable vacation. The unique literary-themed rooms and the versatile outdoor terrace enhance its charm, while the quality of the Scottish breakfast underscores a commitment to local sourcing. I find its blend of historical character and tailored event spaces makes it a standout choice in Edinburgh.”

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues
convenient locationinadjustable heatingstrange menu
The location was very convenient (close to everything).
I found the room quite cold. The heating was not adjustable, and i had to wear warm clothes indoors. i found the breakfast menu quite strange as it was missing common options, such as bacon.
