Great room and Breakfast

We enjoyed our stay at Masson House and would recommend this Hotel to anyone wishing to visit Edinburgh. The breakfast was one of the best we have had in many of the places we have been to

Ediburgh Fringe base

This is the 6th visit. The room is basic but we spend our time at the festival so only sleep there. The breakfast is excellent. The bus stop is immediately outside the gate but it takes only about 20 minutes to walk to the city centre.

Weekend Break

Booked on spec, really impressed, room clean and comfortable a bit on the small side, but hey! you are only sleeping there. Breakfast was excellent very good choice of hot and cold buffets, plus fantastic staff who could not have been more helpful.
