A little gem in a fantastic area. Yes, this property is located in a historic building, so there are no elevators and no a/c, but... My room was very bright, spacious, extremely clean and beautiful, the bathroom was great, amenities were wonderful, service was excellent. The bed (mattress, pillows, blankets) was so very comfortable that I didn't want to wake up. Breakfast was delicious. Everyone who works at this property is absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Every single person went above and beyond to please me. The hotel is located in a high end residential area with lots of restaurants and bars around. Also, great shopping is nearby. It's a leisurely 20 minutes walk to all the hustle and bustle of the old city center. I fell in love with this hotel and definitely will stay there again Thank you, Nira Caledonia, for taking such good care of me!

We reserved, and paid in advance, two rooms - one with two adults and one with three adults. The rooms they assigned to us were literally in the basement of one of their structures. The room they provided for the three adults had one bed and a couch. Granted the coach folded out but the mattress was embarrassingly worn out. They said that we did not reserve a room for three adults. Showing them the confirmation for three adults had no impact on the individual checking us in. The rooms were very tired, cracks in the walls, peeling wall paper and stained carpets. It looks like the bathrooms were updated but that was the only updated aspect of this property. We also had to carry the luggage down into our basement rooms, no lifts in the building. We were in Ireland and Scotland for 10 days and this was clearly the worst property we visited. I do not understand how there are so many good ratings, perhaps they simply put us in the worst rooms in the hotel. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

This is a very nice hotel that we enjoyed staying in for 3 nights. Stairs are not our favourite and this was the main downfall. The restaurant not being open at night was another issues and when you ordered a drink at the bar there were no crispy or nuts on offering either free or to be purchased. The bed was super comfy and the wifi was great. It's is a good healthy uphill walk from the town where you can partake on tours or just enjoy Edinburgh. There are some restaurants behind the hotel - the Porter will give great directions. Room cleanliness was superb and the room was centrally heated. We would stay there again.

Best part is the warm welcome from superstar Kyle - made us feel at home - away from home. Great location. Quiet. Super clean. Awesome big Scottish breakfast + friendly staff. So nice to be in the new town, close to Stockbridge and all the action.

We paid a lot of money for this room and on arrival were led down a dingy basement stair to a room with a view of a below-stairs wall. It was opposite the public hotel toilet do every time someone went in that our door rattled loudly. The rooms on the website looked so much nicer. Bathroom nicely finished but very cramped - toilet squashed up against bath. Couldn’t leave fast enough in the morning! We have stayed in much nicer boutique hotels in other expensive cities (like York) for less money. If you are booking here, check what you are getting!! We know Edinburgh is expensive but expected much nicer than this for what we paid. Very disappointed.
