The person who attended my wife and I was very. She talked to us in a very rude manner, we did not know why she was like that so we asked to talk with the manager. She was actually the manager, Nicky. Very rude person and the hotel was very expensive for what they offer. Breakfast was very poor and disgusting. Location far away from center.

I was in this hostel a couple of months ago, everything was very poorly managed, there were damages in the rooms, the breakfast was terrible and the owner (a certain Niky) was very rude to me and my companions. unfortunately it was a very bad experience and I do not recommend this site to anyone.

Located within 20 minutes walk of the Royal Mile this is a very well presented boutique hotel. The room was airy and very nice. The bed very comfortable. And a coffee pod machine. Parking on site for 8 vehicles, 18 rooms. So arrive in good time. Continental breakfast not to the standard of quality to the rest of the hotel.

I stayed here for a work trip and found it a quiet, comfortable and relaxing place to spend the evenings. The hotel is in a traditional townhouse so rooms seem large and airy with high ceilings which gives a nice ambiance. My room (meadowbank) was large and very well equipped - large tv, iron, hairdryer, fridge, coffee machine etc, and comfortable as it had a sofa and two armchairs. The bed was excellent with a fantastic soft mattress which gave a good nights sleep. The hotel is about 25 mins walk or 10 mins bus ride from the centre and public transport availability is excellent from nearby. There are however plenty of places to eat and drink within walking distance and a Lebanese kitchen on-site.

I had a booking for the 14th Feb, I wasn't able to make it, so changed the date via booking.com- I received emails and confirmation that the changes had accepted. I also received messages from the hotel. My booking was cancelled on the day of my stay and no refund given. The Hotel is blaming booking.com and have said they had no record of the changes - booking com have advised the hotel did accept the changes and it was cancelled because the hotel had requested more money- We'd agreed to pay this at the hotel. So, I lost what money I'd paid and neither company have been of any help. I'm in the process of taking this further. As I'm currently stuck in the middle and out of pocket

Lovely. Pleasant people. No breakfast but not far from good eating houses. Great for getting a bus into central Edinburgh. It was a quiet location too. Enjoyed our stay. Few parking places available.

It’s such a beautiful old building that still has the character maintained in it . It’s completely understated in its decor but offers the comfort & quality of a modern hotel.. The staff were friendly & everything from checking in to checking out was stress free .

Only here for one night. And my experience of staying here was very comfortable indeed. Morgan greeted me on my arrival and she went through my check in with a smile. She also informed me i was also booked in for breakfast which i was unaware off as my stay was booked by another. An added bonus. Check in was quick and simple. My room was called Newington. On entering i was greeted by a very stylish view. I love grandeur and this suited me down to a t. Great big double bed all to myself, and very comfortable too. The room was cold when i went in as the window had been left open but once the shutters were in place and heating put on my room was toasty in no time. Free wifi which again is an added bonus. I didn’t spend time watching TV so it’s placing wasn’t an issue for me. A lovely walk in shower too which was just awesome. I’m easily pleased to be honest. The view from my window gave me the impression of a lovely secret garden, unfortunately i didn’t have time to explore. Breakfast was served from 8.30am onwards and there was a choice of cooked or continental. I chose the latter this time. The bearded guy who greeted me was pleasant and attended to my needs as and when. Overall i was very pleased with my first experience visiting this family run hotel, and would definitely stay again.…

Where do you start? Well I looked at the ratings, which were very high. How they are so hi based on my experience is quite unbelievable. When I got the hotel the check in was average, when I enquired breakfast it didn’t start until 07:30 too late for but no problem I thought. Then the real problems started. The room “Abbey Hill’ is a basement room and quite frankly not very nice. On arrival the heating was turned off, which is fair enough to save costs at this time of high energy prices, surely turn it on a couple of hours before your customer arrives (I did inform the hotel when I was going to check in). Then there was the wardrobe, small but fair enough I didn’t need much room,. It was packed full of two large air conditioning units and a fan heater that didn’t work. The iron board was also stuffed in there. All very dirty and dusty. Where do the clothes go? Next was the hygiene, this was appalling, dust everywhere a radiator covered in substances I’d rather not think about and then the tv remote (which didn’t work) was disgusting. Dust wars everywhere, there was even a dead spider hanging from the wall that had gone crunchy when I cleaned it from the wall, it had been there for some time. On the TV, it was hung on the wall 8 feet up, I presume so no one could steal it. This also means no one can clean it. There were little handmade laminated signs around everywhere telling what you were not allowed to do. The best was the toilet notice which explained only toilet paper and human waste be flushed, there is a story there for sure, in old building the drains can often be small and easy to block, but is that the best you can do? An old chair was left outside the room as I entered the room which had a used towel or other piece of laundry on top. It was still there in the morning when I left. When I left there was no one at reception to explain why I had been given such a bad room, so it would be great to hear from the management directly here to explain the sorry state of their hotel and why they think they can charge any amount of money for an absolute disgrace!…
