Disliked: Staff & service
Advertising stated double room had an ensuite and breakfast was included but this was not so. Ensuite was across the hall and breakfast was available downstairs at a cost. There were 70 steps to get to the room. Very disappointing.
The room was very nice and the porter met us in the stairwell to help us with our bags. There is no front desk everything is communicated via email of the app.

Edinburgh stay
Booked due to location. Luggage storage was around the corner and not on site. Bathroom across the hall from room. Matress was comfortable although sheets not cotton. Kept up to date with email messages. Room was warm though a fan was provided.
The room was clean and comfortable but not what I expected for a luxury double room. The bath was private but not in the room. If that is important to you I would check with the hotel to check where the bath would be for the room provided you.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Location was great. Facilities were very clean. Beds were comfortable. Stairs were a killer! Steep and many of them. Problems with the boiler and no hot water one day; was repaired by late afternoon. Wouldn't stayt here again because of the stairs.
Our room was nice sized and very clean. The view was nice too. Look out the window to the left and see the castle, look right and you can see the water. There is no reception desk, it’s a self check in room. Ours was on the 3rd floor and there is no lift but we managed it fine with just carryon luggage. Anything larger and it would have been very difficult.
Room was comfortable and spacious. Bathroom was very nice, with modern fittings. Bed was huge and comfortable, too.
If I had to be picky, it would be good to have a couple of bottles of water as well as the tea and coffee and biscuits already included.
The hinges to the door to the bathroom could do with lubricating to stop the squeaking.
Really picky, as it was a really lovely room for what we needed. Thank you.
We had a great stay here in Edinburgh for a few days. Communication was great, any questions were answered quickly. The location was good, we were able to walk or uber up the hill to the city center.
Great stay, excellent communication from the team, even though we never actually saw anyone in person they gave excellent instructions for the keys, rooms, and property. Nice and close to train station and old town and the castle.
The room was spacious and clean. The porter Ricky was very helpful and friendly. He gave us some great tips on places to viait and eat. The location was great. The only negative ia that it's a 3 story walk up without an elevator. We would stay here again.
1. It is definitely not for senior citizens. Climbing up 4 flights of steep stairs, with a bag is difficult. Even otherwise, the climb was difficult.
2. The shower installation definitely needs a safety bar to hold on to.
3. There is a pervasive smell in the toilet. Possibly the sewerage pipes need to be looked at.
4. One expected at least one housekeeping round in a 6 days stay.
5. A few hooks to hang ones clothes in the bathroom would help.
6. The room itself was cozy with subdued decor.
7. Nice view of the city
8. Comfortable bed and good pillows.
9. The kettle could do with a longer wire!
10. The sink is too small. Water spilled every time it was used.
11. One ceiling light was missing.
