We stayed here for our last night before flying back to Canada. It is a cute boutique hotel, but is seeing some wear and tear. The attached pub is fantastic and has a great authentic neighborhood feel. The staff are excellent.

Great time at the Canny Man’s

Excellent rooms with a great pub and restaurant downstairs. This is the second time I have stayed here and my third visit will be next week. So handy for local shopping in Morningside and Bruntsfield and on good bus routes for the rest of Edinburgh

Great place to stay. Recommend mentioning that if guests wish to have evening meal in the Canny Man pub it is advisable to book in advance. We didn't but although we eventually got a table, had to be squeezed in between existing tables after a 10 minute uncertain wait.

Keys had to be collected from the Canny Man pub next door, very welcoming and invited us back after getting settled in our room for a complimentary drink. The Chandelier Room (with modern Chandelier) had a very large bathroom, possibly suitable for wheelchair though access at the front is stairs (maybe another entrance?). Breakfast was superb, Scottish, Continental and Vegetarian options. Warm friendly atmosphere with quirky decor covering the time periods of the pub.
