Boutique hotel in a historic Victorian townhouse near Edinburgh Castle
Common Areas & Amenities
The hotel offers a library with a diverse book collection and a bar serving cocktails, beers, and wines. Guests have access to a shared lounge/TV area and complimentary tea and coffee available 24/7. A small lift provides access to upper floors, though some mid-level rooms require stairs due to the building's 19th-century structure.
Rooms & Accommodations
Each room is individually styled and includes a tiled private bathroom along with tea and coffee making facilities. Upper-floor rooms offer views of the Dean Village or Edinburgh Castle, while some rooms feature high ceilings and ample natural light. The hotel provides family rooms with sofa beds, though the historic building means some rooms have sloped ceilings on the fourth floor.
Dining & Breakfast
A full cooked breakfast is served in a restored dining room with a large fireplace, using locally sourced ingredients. The breakfast menu includes options like a full Scottish breakfast, eggs Royale, and a vegetarian choice, all prepared fresh to order. Afternoon tea is offered in a picturesque setting within the hotel.
Pet-Friendly Services
The hotel welcomes pets with specific amenities including a bed, bowl, and treats provided in the room upon arrival. A special breakfast menu for dogs is available, prepared with the same care as the human menu. Dogs are treated as guests rather than tolerated, with staff trained to accommodate their needs.
Location & Surroundings
The hotel sits on a quiet residential street within a 15-minute walk of Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. Haymarket Rail Station is a 10-minute walk away, providing access to tram and bus services. Dean Village and the Water of Leith riverside walk are directly accessible from the hotel.
