Fabulous from start to finish ! We booked the romantic suite jacuzzi package with breakfast and it was a brilliant night we also had dinner in the restaurant Blackwoods Bar & Grill which was perfect (highly recommend the chateaubriand for 2 ! ) the room was turndown left with rose petals champagne dipped strawberries and candles and the jacuzzi is fab very relaxing (loved the little bath bomb cube) Breakfast arrived at our room the next morning which was also perfect and all fresh as you can get with a good choice from continental to full cooked Scottish breakfast. This was a perfect getaway for the night perfect room on the ground floor with small Garden area, decor is gorgeous ,excellent staff ,quite central location for shops beautiful building with a lot of history and charm. Thank you for making our night special and at such short notice!

Hotel is unusual in that it's spread over two buildings that aren't attached. We were upgraded to a lovely suite with a small garden. Bed was comfortable. However, the bathroom for being in such a large accommodation was tiny. The smallest bathroom sink I have ever encountered in a hotel. And the shower stall - almost impossibly small and with the most difficult shower door to use. With such a nice hotel, more attention should have been given to providing a larger and more suitable bath area. The breakfast was first rate albeit maybe a bit understaffed. The hotel is located away from the main "tourist" areas by a 10-15 walk. The area is quite quiet, which is a plus.

This is my favourite hotel in Edinburgh. The rooms are spacious and extremely comfortable, bathrooms are also wonderful. The staff are lovely & nothing is too much trouble But favourite bit (& a real treat) is breakfast. Whilst a hot breakfast is available I usually opt for continental there is a wide variety of different breads, fresh fruit, yogurts. It is always nice to have home made jam, I particularly like the whisky marmalade and lemon curd. I stay fairly regularly & would recommend the hotel for singles, couples and friends.

The hotel is in a very nice part of town far enough away from the noise and hustle and bustle but only a 15 min walk into the centre of town. My wife had difficulty walking too far so we would get a cab into town which came in 5 mins then had a leisurely walk down hill back to the hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and the room was fabulous. The food in the restaurant was very good but unfortunately we didn't get a chance to sample the Chateaubriand which looked amazing. I would throughly recommend this hotel.

Do not book this hotel. We were allocated a room the size of a shoe box at the top of three flights of narrow twisting stairs. My wife had great difficulty getting up the stairs and when we asked for an alternate room we were denied. The room was so small there was no where to lay out a suitecase except on the bed. There was nowhere to sit except on the bed. The ceiling was very low. The window could only be opened a few inches and it was stifling hot. The bathroom door frame was crooked and there was a great gap at one end. The bathroom floor tiles were cracked and broken and there were large black scars in the bottom of the bath where the enamal has been broken off. Part of the barhroom ceiling was not painted. Coffee was provided with cups that could have come out of a childrens tea set. The bed was less than regulation Queen size and both I and my wife's legs hung over the end. This was undoubtedly the most uncomfortable night I've ever spent in a hotel. The chairs in the dining room were too low and were chipped with frayed upholstry. This hotel was advertised as 'Small Boutique' and the room was a 'Petite Suite'. The Small and Petite were understatements and the only luxurious bit was the price. There is no second egress from the building so if you're caught in a fire you have little chance. I'd rate this hotel a Zero if I could.
