Established in 1880, this hotel was renovated in 2002 and comprises a total of 11 rooms spread over 3 floors. The lobby is rather small, but this is only a very small hotel, creating a friendly and intimate atmosphere.

This pleasant hotel is located in the Haymarket area of Edinburgh, near the city centre, and is the ideal starting point from which to explore Edinburgh and the many attractions in the local area. Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Princes Street, Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Murrayfield Stadium, and West Register House (for genealogical research) are all a few minutes walk from the hotel. Edinburgh's excellent bus connections bring visitors to locations throughout the city and the main station from where countless further bus and train connections offer access to places such as Glasgow and northern or western Scotland, lies only a few minutes on foot from the hotel.

A typical Scottish breakfast with pastries, fruit salad, smoked salmon and smoked herring is offered every morning.
