A traditional B&B that felt very homely with a bar in for good measure. The breakfast room was very spacious too.

The Hotels location is perfect a short walk to either the city centre or up Holyrood. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating, and the value for money was phenomenal. Highly recommend the hotel for anyone visiting Edinburgh.
