Property was great. Didn’t give 5 stars as they didn’t have wash/face cloths. That was the only complaint but it kinda is a big thing if you want to stay clean.

This boutique hotel is in a quiet street close to Grassmarket and the castle area. I enjoyed my three nights there however, it is an expensive hotel for one person only. If two people stay there in the high season then I’d recommend it, otherwise, I don’t think you get anything for what you pay. No fridge, no coffee maker, no free water bottles, generic tea and instant coffee, no cable t.v., toiletries were basically soap and body cream, etc…. I wouldn’t complain if it weren’t for the cost. Having said that, the staff were very nice and accommodating and friendly. I don’t know why they call it a boutique hotel, it’s basically a small hotel that used to be a hospital and it’s in a historic building.

Nice Stay
This hotel was very nice for the price range and had everything we needed. The only complaint is that we a little farther from the Royal Mile than we wanted to be. It is still walkable but around a 15-20 minute walk.

The property served our needs. It was about a 5-7 minute walk to Grass Market…8-10 minute walk to the Royal Mile. There were shops and places to eat even closer. The area was quiet and safe. Our room was clean and roomy. I would recommend this property and stay there again.

Comfy beds, weedy shower/ tap pressure, no point attempting a bath so why not just have a shower. Didn’t need to change towels that they did as were left hanging up but should have cleared and replenished the tea/ coffee tray. Tv remote batteries almost dead . However lovely helpful and honest staff who found a shopping item I’d C left in the room and returned it ( as we left our bags after checking out to collect lster)
