We had an excellent stay. Staff were helpful and friendly, the room was pleasant and comfortable and breakfast had lots of options and was of a good quality.
The staff was so helpful and friendly! I would absolutely recommend this hotel to friends and family. We stayed here for our 10th anniversary and it was amazing.
Beautiful hotel in renovated historic building on the wharf in Leith. A short walk to great restaurants and pubs and the HMS Britannia. Our room was well appointed with comfortable bed, large shower and separate tub, nice sitting area. Hotel restaurants were excellent. Recommend adding breakfast to your stay. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!
Stayed here whilst on business solo. What a treat, and way better than the Mal Mason I’ve stayed in Reading. Excellent food, bedroom, staff and location. Fully recommend.
Clean and good sized room, comfortable, good facilities, ideal location for tram into town.
