Very spacious, comfortable and clean. Isobel help our bags as we waited for our room. We also were treated to a pint that evening. This was our 5 th trip to Edinburgh. Morningside is a great place to stay with nice coffee shops and cafes. We would highly recommend the Lane Hotel.

Lovely homely hotel in a beautiful period property, very comfortable! Close to plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants, and not forgetting The Canny Man's next door, which is a cracky pub with lots of character. There are loads of buses in and out of the centre, or to Leith if you wish to explore there too, so this is a great neighbourhood to stay in the city. We highly recommend this place, and we're hoping to return again in the not-so-distant future.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean but could have been cleaner and didn’t smell very fresh.You couldn’t open the windows so it was very hot and stuffy.The bar was closed on the 1st night which was a bit of a surprise. All in all it was ok but we wouldn’t book to stay there again.

What a night out. Beers in the pub, then dinner with wine, then upstairs to bed. Everything in one place and all of it really enjoyable from the first complimentary drink to the final dessert. Don’t forget to try the world famous Bloody Mary, it’s one of your five a day 😂
