Came to Edinburgh for our anniversary but didn’t want to stay in a chain hotel or in the middle of the tourist area. We wanted something that had the charm of the city but also convenient to the tram and rail station as well as walkable too. This hotel checked all of those boxes. It is in the West End and about a 10 minute walk to the tram and Haymarket train station. Even though our day trip tickets were from Waverly, we were easily allowed to board at Haymarket instead. Much closer than Waverly. Deans Village is literally just behind the hotel and was a nice area to walk around. The hotel itself was amazing. Old school elegance, charm even with umbrellas available for the day if you need one. There was even one in our room. There is a lift but we preferred using the beautiful staircase when we didn’t have luggage. The towels are big and fluffy. They do provide wash cloths, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion. They have a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, a Dyson floor fan if you get hot, almost instant hot water at the sink and shower, robes, towel warmer, daily housekeeping service (something US hotels don’t all offer especially after COVID). The nespresso machine and coffees were great. They provided a bag of shortbread cookies on arrival and a small chocolate on our pillows each night. The bedding had a nice thick duvet unlike the super flat ones used in US hotels. There was an extra blanket in the closet too. We used both as we slept with the window cracked.
