"It was a somewhat comfortable room to sleep in, nothing more."

7.0

The staff were really kind and helpful. The bed was super comfortable after walking all day. My room and the whole hotel seemed very clean which was so nice.

The bathroom was very small and the water pressure could’ve been better. If you’re under 5’5 and petite I think you’d have a better chance of moving around in the shower. Also my room and bathroom were freezing. It didn’t seem like I could adjust the temperature in my room because the radiator mechanism looked like it shouldn’t be touched.

"We loved it and would definitely stay here again."

10.0

Beautiful old town house converted into a hotel. The room was spacious and luxurious with a four poster bed and a large bathroom. It appeared to have been recently renovated and the carpets appeared to be new. All decorated in an up market style with beautiful high ceilings and large windows. The staff were friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was a little way back from the main tourist areas but this was only a short walk away and for us it was nice to not be right in the middle of the tourist areas. The hotel doesn’t have breakfast facilities but this also wasn’t an issue for us as there were plenty of cafes and restaurants close by and provided a vast and diverse choice of places to go.

La chambre était jolie et spacieuse avec vue sur le jardin. L'emplacement de cet hôtel est idéal, loin du tumulte du centre ville mais suffisamment proche pour faire les visites à pied. Il y a plein de restaurants autour, pour le breakfast je recommande le Don’t Tell Mama qui est tout près et qui fait de délicieux et copieux Scottish Breakfast
