Stayed for two nights with our adult children who shared a twin room in the basement. Lovely old place, very comfortable and charming. The free tea/coffee and biscuits in the library were a lovely touch and the downstairs bar was a hit. Only drawback was the very noisy trash trucks in the early morning. Good breakfast and my son was... More

Enjoyed a one night stay for a two day break in Edinburgh this April. Loved B+B. We arrived early thanks to a 6.30 flight from Dublin and they were more than happy to hold our bags and coats for the day allowing us to enjoy the city. We had a room on the top floor. Charming with a very comfortable... More

One of my team was getting married in Edinburgh and she chose to base herself and many of her friends at this boutique hotel. I was a little wary as I hadn't stayed in the city for years and the words "B&B" fill me with slight horror - way beyond those years of slumming it. HOWEVER, what a surprise, the... More

Stayed at B+B for a wedding and in Edinburgh and was really pleased with the hotel and the staff! The room was beautifully decorated and modern, and had amenities such as tea, coffee, shortbread etc in the room. It was within walking distance to various shops, restaurants and cafes which was great. Finally, we were really pleased with the cooked... More

My boyfriend booked this wee gem through a Groupon deal for my birthday. Unfortunately when we booked we were told we would need to upgrade to a family room which meant our bargain night proved a bit more expensive than we had hoped.Situates close to Haymarket Station and only 10 minutes walk from the West end city attractions.The room was...

Lovely old building right in the heart of Edinburgh. The wood panels & staircase were amazing. The dining room was beautiful with lovely views. Breakfast was the full monty, which set us up for the day. Staff were lovely. What more could you ask for ? It was a privilege to stay here.

Fantastic victorian building and amasing rooms done in a comtemporary style in a Victorian setting. Breakfats buffet is fabulous and generous. Great deal for price. It is located outside major city streets but not far. Yet it gives you the opportunity to explore the NewTown.

Stayed here for 1 night recently and was upgraded to a suite which was beautiful with lots of extra touches and a magnificent view. Breakfast was lovely. For £45 deal which I paid I am delighted with this find in Edinburgh. First class service will definitely return.
