"Small rooms, but comfortable and right across from the Scott Monument. Walking distance from Edinburgh Castle, and all other local attractions. Due to its location right on a very busy street, it was almost impossible to find an area to park and offload our luggage for check in. Had to park illegally for about 20 minutes (after circling around for 20 minutes) just to drop our stuff off and check in. Actual parking garage I used was a 10 minute walk away. Other than that, no complaints. ...

"**Review:** We had an amazing stay at this hotel with Laura as our wonderful host. The location was perfectly situated in New Town, with everything comfortably close and within walking distance. On our first day, the hosts kindly circled must-visit areas on the map, making it easy for us to explore, even with our 5-year-old. The Mavyn Cafe on the first floor was a gem, opening early with fantastic coffee and pastries. I highly recommend trying the bramble and lavender loaf! Whenever we needed...

It was difficult to enter/exit the room without getting wet, especially when carrying luggage. Some maintenance (broken switch) in room, but the maintenance staff was pleasant and resolved the issue within a day. Room was large."

There are not a lot of selections and there are no other restaurants nearby. "
