This is an old-fashioned but charming place to stay. It is well located for a quick walk to the sights, and close to bus stops. Breakfast was excellent. The hotel has a comfortable bar. Our room was spotless and spacious (room 8), with a great view to the Firth of Forth. The bed was comfortable and the linens were of excellent quality. We definitely recommend this accommodation.

This is a wonderful place, a bit old fashioned but harks back to the older age of comfort and quality. The room was comfortable, spacious and meticulous prepared. The staff were impeccable and the location is just a couple blocks back from Princess Street with good local restaurants, bars, shopping and sightseeing not far away. Recommended. Definitely a place to comp
