My granddaughter valued the breakfast while staying with you. It was all we could ask for, to begin our day in Edinburgh. The staff war friendly and accommodating. What we liked very much, was the authenticity of the boat and the staff was forthcoming all the time. We loved your uniforms.

I loved the property, it's a beautiful place. Food was amazing, room was comfortable. Most importantly one of the best team of staff members I have ever encountered. It was my wife's birthday; staff made sure her day was special even when we were vacationing away from friends and family.

Perfect place to stay in Edinburgh. You can see the castle from the hotel but you're far enough away to not get caught in all the touristy hustle and bustle. We loved the location. Breakfast was a la carte and really fantastic - best breakfast we had during our whole trip! We also visited the steak restaurant located in the hotel and I can tell you, it deserves it's reputation as one of the best steak restaurants in all of Edinburgh. If you're looking to try some amazing local steaks, then it's the place to go. Pricing was a little on the higher end but we were satisfied with all the services and amenities available. Overall, we would 100% return and stay here again!

Stunning apartments!! The room was immaculate, great amenities, so clean and bright, the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in!! The staff were fantastic, so friendly, welcoming and accomodating. The location was just great too, central, right at a tram stop but tucked away off the main road. Would 100% recommend and come back to in the future. Lovely added extra with a little gift bag for their opening of the apartments, thanks so much.
