Clean, comfortable, and great location.
We had pretty good communication with the hotel and coordinating our arrival. We got to the door and someone met us at the door and carried our bags up the two flights to our room and coached us on the electronic locks. He was very friendly and then he left. Perfect. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was modern and clean. There were plenty of towels. There were some fun snacks and tea, coffee, and milk packets to use with the hot water carafe. The location is just a couple of blocks off of Princes street at the castle end of the historic center. We walked to Dean Village one evening and Circus Lane the next. We spent the day walking the Royal Mile and taking the tram to HRY Britannia. The Tram stop was half a block up from Frederick Street on Prince's Street which made getting back easy from a long day of walking and quick to get to the airport. There are plenty of restaurants within a few blocks of the hotel though we did not take advantage of restaurant the hotel has a deal with. The app to use it did not work.

I loved the room, and the location. The only drawback for me, is that there was no lift, and it was 3 flights up with all our luggage. But other than that, it was very very nice. Loved the room! Very clean and comfortable!

Very nice stay. The property is VERY close to a bus stop. The stay was quiet and clean. The water is VERY HOT with decent water pressure. The people in the hotel and the restaurant next door are very friendly and helpful. Our room personally had a cute view of a back alley. The only thing we would say is after walking thru the city and staying 3 floors up was a bit tuff. Worth it but tuff.

It was in a good area easily within walking distance of central part of Edinburgh, shops and restaurants. The room was clean and roomy, however it was on the 4th floor and there was no elevator or someone to help with our bags. My son was starting college and we had a lot of luggage. Noone seemed to be around for most of our stay. Also, I stayed at another B&B in Edinburgh and they had a beautiful breakfast and could not have been more gracious. There was no breakfast at this bed and breakfast. When we arrived, they told me we would get a discount on the restaurant below their B&B. When I received the check and asked about the discount, I received $5 off a $50 bill. I would never stay here again.

The room was incredibly spacious! Great shower as well! Well located to walk around the city and lots of nearby dining options. The breakfast at Rabble was delicious and easy. The only thing that wasn’t great was the mattress. And they could use more counter space in the bathroom, I used one of the ottomans to hold my toiletries. Overall a nice stay, I would come back to this property.

We had a nice stay. There is a lot that appears to be done automatically, like questions about how easy to check in, etc. and I had responded mid day that we had a flight cancellation and would arrive Wednesday am instead of Tuesday mid day. Also I might have missed this, but didn't know u til we brought our bags all the way up that a porter might have been available. It was clean & had all we needed. Fan was especially nice fur sleeping. The bed was also very comfortable

3 star B&B with no breakfast
Great location, but we were in a room with a separate (but private) bathroom across the corridor which we hadn't expected. I got locked into the bathroom first night and although I managed to get hold of the porter on the phone who sorted it quickly, the whole bolt had broken and I really was locked in. Checkout is at 10am. At 10.01 there was a knock at the door so don’t be late - I was nearly out the door anyway. There will always be a premium paid for Fringe accommodation but this really was top dollar for mediocrity. If the price is better at other times of the year it may be better vfm.

The room was clean and comfortable but not what I expected for a luxury double room. The bath was private but not in the room. If that is important to you I would check with the hotel to check where the bath would be for the room provided you.
