Very welcoming and helpful staff, great breakfast, good location (15min walk from Princes Street). The room was quite small but clean and nicely decorated. Kettle and good selection of drinks and biscuits in the room. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location, a quick walk to most areas in the New City area & loads of restaurants nearby. They make a wonderful breakfast. Very accomodating staff, it was worth every penny (even with the brutal exchange rate!)

There was loud radio music at all times in the breakfast room which was most annoying. I doubt if any of the residents actually wanted it on. I was also initially charged £30 more than the quoted price, but this was swiftly and courteously corrected. Please think carefully about whether the music is necessary.

I thought the accommodation was good though the room was on the small side.

Very nice bed and breakfast. The room was spacious, the furniture and the bath were specially clean and in good condition, almost every extra you could wish (coffee, towels, books etc.) were included. There was no view from the window as it was in the basement, the en suite was pretty cool and not perfectly working. Placed in a quite area within ten minutes walking distance to the centre, it provided a safe car parking area. Breakfast time was definitely short,8.30-9.30, so did not have the pleasure of breakfast; the staff were very professional and friendly. The price was above average, anyway it was appropriate for the city and the service provided, without considering the narrow breakfast time. In conclusion I would surely come back and I would suggest it to any friend of mine.

The hotel is on a wide street (on the corner of Dundas and Cumberland - a little closer than the map shows to the Old Town). It is about a 10-15 minute walk from the hotel to Princes Street (going uphill toward the Old Town). The service provided by the proprietors was excellent. The room was reasonably sized, clean, and comfortable. There was coffee/tea and hot chocolate and cookies in the room. There were good pubs and restaurants as close as one block away. The breakfast was excellent, either the full traditional or eggs benedict, also with juice, cereal, fresh cheeses, milk, coffee/tea. They also had black pudding and haggis (excellent!). Excellent plas to stay for a visit to Edinburgh!
