Staying at the hotel in this beautifully decorated townhouse was exceptional with great attentive hosts and a varied selection at breakfast. However, the cost of breakfast included made it seem much nicer and cheaper; although having a separate bathroom was a downside, I won't choose that option again.

The hotel had a book containing all handwritten information about things to do in Edinburgh and a hand-written welcome letter for us with our names, which was lovely. The rooms were very comfy, not too far from the city to walk, and the hosts were very informative about using buses as an alternative. However, the rooms lacked terribly in storage space.
