Wonderful Hotel

It is always a pleasure to stay at this hotel, the interior is truly unique. I have stayed at many quality hotels in Edinburgh, but this one, is without a doubt, my favourite. Great rooms, comfortable beds, powerful showers and luxurious bath tubs. Easy on street parking. The breakfast is out of this world and must be one of the best in Britain. However best of all are the wonderful staff who are so welcoming and helpful.

We had a really lovely stay at no 24. Such a great location and the hotel was quirky and fun, and the staff were all lovely. The room (superior double) felt luxurious with a large roll top bath and comfy super king size bed.

Hidden gem in Edinburgh

This is an amazing property, with very unique features. We felt as we are staying in private apartment, with amazing art, whisky tasting room and host that possessed encyclopedic knowledge and charm. Location is excellent with close proximity to center of the town and all the tourist attractions, but at the same time very quiet and relaxed.

What a cute boutique hotel! The room is very lovely with beautiful artwork throughout the hotel and room. Bed is very comfortable and bathroom large with plenty of hot water. We didn't eat in the restaurant or use the bar, but they look lovely. Front desk is very helpful. Highly recommend and would stay again.

Utterly brilliant!

This hotel is a true gem! In fact it’s not a hotel it’s a home away from home really. It has a real personable feel which you just don’t get from chains. Staff are super friendly and I got the warmest welcome I’ve ever had when checking in. Really can’t fault it.

My sister and I stayed here for 3 nights, and it was such a memorable stay. I love the boutique style hotel with beautiful and different décor throughout. My favorite was all the artwork along the staircase up each floor. Our room was spacious and so comfortable plus the in room water was a bonus! Jonathan and all the staff were so lovely and helpful in making suggestions of where to go as well as securing transportation if needed. They pay attention to a lot of detail, and it shows with the cleanliness and appearance of the hotel. The location was perfect as this was our first experience in Edinburgh, but it was within walking distance to everywhere we needed to go while being on a quiet street.
