Séjour de 2 nuits à l’hôtel, nous étions 2 adultes et 3 ados. Nous logions dans un lodge a côté du bâtiment principale au rez de chaussé. La chambre était spacieuse et agréable. Nous avons très bien dormi. Nous avons garé gratuitement notre voiture sur le parking de l’hôtel et avons tout fait à pied (environ 40mn de marche de la vielle ville).

Nice, clean and safe hotel. Far from city center and food/sight seeing options. If you stay here be prepared to walk, take a bus or cab to main parts of town. The room was really hot and ventilation could have been better.

The lodge was nice, check in was easy and the lounge had cold drinks and bar service available. The room was comfortable but smelled a bit. Complimentary in room coffee, biscuits and a bit of sherry was a nice touch. Bus stop right out front.

Absolutely delightful. Check-in was smooth. We arrived earlier than the check-in time at 11am and got into our room by 1.30pm which was much appreciated. Due to the redeye flight, we were so tired that the staff prioritized getting our room ready. The property is conveniently located, not far from the downtown core we wanted to visit. It’s nestled in a quite neighborhood and our garden suite was lovely and peaceful at night.

Very good value for Edinburgh

About the only decent hotel in Edinburgh which seems to offer rooms at anything like normal UK prices. Rooms are very well equipped and comfortable if a tiny bit dowdy. There's a big free off-street private car park and an excellent bus service into the centre of town (we never waited more than a minute or two and journey only about 20 minutes) and to other parts of the city. The free bottle of wine for OneKey members was surprisingly decent though I did need to mention it at checkout to get it. I'd certainly stay again if back in town.

What a great find!

Excellent room, friendly and very attentive staff. We stayed for a long weekend with the kids and what an excellent find this was, the room was clean, very large and within a stones throw of Edinburgh city centre via regularly running buses which stopped right outside the hotel.

Amazing, small but well maintained Victorian building/lodge in a pleasant area, 10/15min drive from the city. Lots of buses to get in and out of the city in front of the lodge & reasonably cheap Uber/taxi ride. Friendly and helpful staff but be aware there’s no lift being an old building, but extremely lovely and helpful staff to help you with the luggage, just ask.. We stayed at the very top (so not suitable if you’re tall), well designed, clean, great fluffy linen/bed to come to, from all days walk around Edinburgh! Highly recommended. Thank you xo
