Great location in the very centre of Edinburgh, and a lovely period building full of quirky decorations.
The bed was very comfortable, continental breakfast excellent (à la carte), room was well equipped and carefully decorated. A great selection of tea and coffee, still and sparkling water in the room. A lovely garden at the back to enjoy, and the building overlooks a park at the front.
There's also a whiskey bar!

The Art was fab hw the thing I liked the most was the staff & how quiet it was after the hustle & bustle of Edinburgh with the festival on. Great breakfast. Lovely, welcoming bar. Amazing art.

The hotel was charming and the staff were very friendly and helpful, even showing me to my room and greeting me every time I walked into the lobby from my room or from outside the hotel. The room was also well appointed with everything I needed with a lovely view of the back garden.
My only critique (which isn't even a bad thing as it's for safety reasons!) is that I would have liked the window to open a bit more. The afternoon sun warmed up the room quite spectacularly and I couldn't cool down the room effectively as the window could only open a couple of inches. There is a portable AC unit but it could only cool things down very slowly.

The breakfast was outstanding ! The intimate service and atmosphere was so wonderful, perfect if you wanted to engage with others AND If you wanted more solitary time. The food was made to order and so special. I loved that I could smell it when I woke up in my bed each morning. Very caring for food allergies and remembered them each morning. The homemade jam was a personal highlight for me.
Loved everything about it. So much dare and thought put into every little detail.

Really friendly staff. Great breakfast options and really comfy beds !
As we were on the top floor the water was a little temperamental in the shower but tips given by the hotel on how to manage

I liked The staff, The location also nice, The art work, The breakfast, The bar and whiskey joint.
Didn’t like stairs, stairs, stairs, stairs, did i mention stairs. I did read about stairs, but didn’t appreciate the true meaning until I climbed them with my luggage or after walking for miles after a long day of sightseeing. I strongly suggest asking for a lower floor unless you’re fit with no mobility issues. I am in denial about my knee issues. Fortunately help was available when needed, mostly for the luggage. You still have to climb up the stairs.

We could see the sunset out of our balcony, right there on the Royal Terrance. A quick walk to Calton Hill, right around the corner from Arthur's Seat and the start of the Royal Mile. Tony and the whisky (not "whiskey" - Thanks for the tip Tony) were a highlight. Didn't expect to do a whisky tasting at the hotel, but now, I'd recommend doing that tasting with Tony, even if you aren't staying there. Art and decor were a fun, hip touch - will definitely be back.
Walk up to the top floor, but well worth the walk. Don't let that sway you, it wasn't that bad, but if forced to find a "thing" I didn't love.

A beautifully restored Georgian house to create a boutique hotel.
Loved the art and the whiskey tasting room.
Hotel breakfast was healthy and delicious.
No negatives.
4.5
Exactly what I needed to start a tour
of Scotland. Comfortable bed, well
appointed, and generous en-suite
facilities. Staff was attentive and
kind. Interesting art work and a
charming Georgian townhouse in a
great location to access New Town
and Leith. Wonderful views from
Calton Hill
Open doors and windows meant that smoke from anyone smoking on a fire escape or in back garden came right back into the hotel. Not a biggie, just had to close my windows when I would have preferred a breeze.

Artsy ambiance of the hotel
Friendly staff
Whisky tasting with Tony
Located in a quiet area
It's still near the city center, you can walk (maybe 10min), or take a bus (5 min walk bus stop) if you'd like to visit the central area

Not far from city center but very quiet. Very nice owners.

Excelente hotel con detalles de 10 y un desayuno excepcional
Falta de ascensor aunque entiendo que en complicado ponerlo en una casa georgina. A nosotros no nos importó
4.5
Location is superb, close to anywhere you need to get to (Royal Mile, Old Town, Leith, Stockbridge), but with enough distance that it's peaceful at night time. Received such a warm welcome from all of the team, great breakfast, filled with artwork, and a lovely vibe about the place.
Nothing to complain about but if you are not comfortable with stairs, then you might want to request a room on one of the lower levels.

Beautiful boutique hotel, excellent decor and art work throughout and many nice extra touches in the room. Funky bar, open 24hrs with a fabulous selection of Whiskey!
Quiet location and yet a short walk to restaurants.
All was perfect!

very comfortable with lovely staff, quiet and peaceful location but east to walk to main area of Edinburgh
cosy room was comfortable and well equipped. tea and coffee facilities provided but no plug easily accessible so had to boil the kettle on the floor

quirky
couldn’t really see television from bed
the kettle had a short lead only 1 plug so had to balance kettle on upside down bin and books to plug it in
4.5
A beautifully appointed room in a lovely hotel with excellent breakfast, in walking distance of many Edinburgh sites and not far from Waverley station in an historic terrace of grand townhouses.
Not the hotel’s fault but beware it is hilly around here (especially for those used to flat lands of East Anglia!)

I loved everything. Location (top of Calton Hill) was fabulous and street and property were very charming. The hotel is also an art gallery so it truly was a boutique hotel (and absolutely delightful) I enjoyed both breakfast (some of the best smoked salmon I had in Scotland) and snacks/drinks in the hotel bar. And most importantly - the staff were wonderful and welcoming. I had travel issues on my way there and they could not have been more helpful or accommodating. A very high recommend!
Nothing! I wish I could have stayed longer

A most excellent stay! Beautiful room and hotel in a quiet yet convenient location for exploring city. Breakfast was superb. Above all, the service was fantastic: knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We’d definitely recommend the whisky tasting experience, highly enjoyable.

Staff friendly and helpful. Hotel with character.
Room felt exceptionally small, even for a single. My feet were against the wall and I could barely open my suitcase. Also, the room description when I booked mentioned a bathrobe, but there was none. There was coffee and hot chocolate but I missed some teabags. Full breakfast options only began at 8am, which seems a little late for someone having to catch a flight, for example.

great staff and breakfast
a bit remote and many stairs
