Hotel was vey nice, however with only 4 rooms to look after we were surprised and disappointed that the rooms were not serviced daily. We had to remind the staff that they had missed our room ( which was supposed to be serviced on day two of our stay ) We had to chase up fresh towels and take our rubbish out to the bin on the street. Also as residents were were also disappointed that the staff in the bar and restaurant didn’t acknowledge us, in fact on the final night we were seated in probably the worst table in the restaurant even though several better tables were free. There were a couple of issues with the room, the main light had a bulb out and the lights around the mirror did not work. Overall a good stay but could have been better

There are a lot of steps to room. Maybe go for a room at back.. we got less than 2 hours sleep in room at front, not ideal when we’ve got a 5 hour journey ahead. Parking is at Toby inn, ok. Room was clean and well stocked. No where to hang clothes except back of door. Sorry wouldn’t stay again, bI cause of noise from road (not double glazed) and the green exit light above door. Too light.

Emma was our host to check in, and our waitress in the restaurant. A lovely young woman, very polite and helpful. The room was very clean and decent size. Hotel right on main road from Airport to Downtown making it very convenient to access and then go a bus into town. Restaurant for was decent and a good value. Met the owner when we checked out, and kind man with travel tips for our next destination. We'd certainly stay again if coming back to Edinburgh.

Rooms were great. Staff were great. Pub/restaurant downstairs was great. Food was tasty. Only issue is that the room was quite warm. It was a battle between a hot room (can’t sleep) and road noise with the window open (can’t sleep).

While it was on a busy street and difficult to find where to park, the manager was amazing and helped us with our suitcases. The rooms are located above the restaurant and there is no elevator but it was only one flight of stairs. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. There is no A/C so it was a little hot because we couldn't open the window.

Beautiful setting and friendly staff. We didn’t try the food but it looked delicious. Direct route on the bus into town center, very handy - would be a great place to stay for any rugby at Murryfield (just down the road a short trip on the local bus)
