One of the best hotels we stayed at in Scotland. If I ever go back to Edinburgh, I would put this hotel at the top of my list.

Very nice, comfortable, and clean. Rooms located above the pub. Only issue was the room entrance was outside and required climbing several stairs. Persons with limited mobility would find it challenging.

Set on a main road to downtown Edinburgh, it is very convenient for catching the bus to town center or to the airport. Lots of restaurant options. Friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely stay, great venue. Rooms are very nicely decorated and a good size for a city hotel. Good amenities: a kettle for tea and coffee, biscuits in the room as well as an ironing board and hair drier. Pub downstairs did great food and there’s a little supermarket just across the street. Check in was very easy. Bus to the city centre took just 15 mins and then to the airport just 10.

Perfect spot for our last night in Scotland. Small hotel above a great local restaurant/pub. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff very helpful before and during our stay. Friendly staff at the pub, too. Primary reason for booking this location was easy access to the airport for an early morning flight and so for that reason: mission accomplished. Easy access from Haymarket Station when arriving and 10-minute morning cab ride to the airport.

It was a great one-night stay and accessible to public transportation and less than 15mins. drive to the airport and downtown. The staff were wonderful and friendly. The area was clean and safe. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

Cute mini hotel above a great pub! Decent access to the airport, and city transportation that goes right to city centre. Staff were great! It is a bit loud later at night, you can hear music from the pub. Otherwise, really great spot! I’d stay here again.
