The hotel is ideally located right in the heart of Edinburgh, making it convenient to explore the city. The rooms are comfortable, but a bit of cleanliness issue was noted on the walls. The service was top-notch, with parking right outside, although missing a personal touch. The dining experience offered a filling breakfast, and the facilities were decent overall with opportunities for improvement. The value for money was fair considering the central location.

The guest house offers a spotless and pretty room with a huge window and high ceilings, providing a comfortable stay. The areas in need of decoration are a downside, but the ensuite bathroom is lovely, beds are comfy, and tea/coffee facilities are available. The service was lovely and accommodating, with a host even arranging an early breakfast.

The guest house is conveniently located at the feet of Carlton Hill, offering a fantastic spot for exploring the city center. The rooms, although spacious, are a bit dilapidated, facing the street. The service provided was friendly and accommodating, and the dining experience was good. However, the location did have a downside, being decidedly average in terms of the room and en-suite. The guest house facilities were satisfactory.
