    We had a lovely stay at this luxurious 4-star guesthouse. The location was great for where we were going and there was a bus stop right outside if we planned on going anywhere. The nearest set of shops weren't too far away, and the hotel itself was in a quiet area, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The room was comfortable and clean, and we loved the high ceilings, adding a touch of elegance to the space. The staff were friendly and the room was made up beautifully each day. The breakfast selection was fantastic, with a great choice of dishes to start the day off right.

    We would definitely recommend this hotel to friends.

    The location of the guest house was excellent, with convenient access to the center of the city. Our room was spacious and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The WiFi worked well throughout our stay. The private off-road parking was a bonus, and we appreciated the regular bus service into the city center. The morning manager, Odette, was attentive, we had everything we needed for breakfast. The tea and coffee bar on the landing was a nice touch, especially after a rainy day.

    We had a fantastic stay at this charming B&B. The location was perfect, within walking distance of all the major sights. The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, which made us feel at home. Our room was spotless and beautifully decorated, with high ceilings and a comfortable bed. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. it was a wonderful experience.

    The parking situation was a bit inconvenient, as we had to park around the corner and pay for it.

    The room was small but had its own sink and was on the sunny side. The staff were friendly. The hotel was near a big road with good transportation links to the city center. Holyrood Park was within walking distance and there was a business/shopping center just 10 minutes away.

    Can't fault anything about it.
