The property is old. Our room and bed a bit worn. However the bus stop was right outside with easy access to downtown so we did not have to use our car. The evenings were lively and fun and staff friendly. If you don’t mind an older hotel with a few quirks and the price is very reasonable then this is for you.

A bit of a mixed review. Room was large with good sized bathroom but was outdated and in need of some repair. Also quite stuffy with windows unable to be opened fully. Plenty of parking available and a local bus just metres away. A nice bar and the beds were comfortable

It was cute, quaint, picturesque, and smelled nice. The staff were wonderful, especially the guy at the front desk. He made me laugh a lot and he was fun to talk to. It was a super welcoming and safe feeling place. The view of Edinburgh was also very pretty. And they gave me shortbread cookies several times. And they had a hotel cat that I got to pet, it was adorable. Loved it ❤️
