We loved the location of this hotel! It’s walking distance from everything and has some nice coffee shops and restaurants in the area! The rooms was tiny but clean. Excuse my lack of pictures. We didn’t have any food here but it’s an option as they have good deals with the restaurant linked downstairs.
TOP TIP- there’s no parking here but the hotel across the road offers parking at a fee. Very convenient and close. Just go ask at reception. (Expensive though)

Nice hotel apart from being on the third floor, and the lift only went to the first floor. Had two flight of stairs with a heavy suitcase.
So not practical for a disabled or older person.

One of the coziest and warmest hotel in old town of Edinburgh with the cutest small pub! Highly recommended.

Location of this place can’t be largely ignored at all. Just at the bottom of the stretch of Harry Potter restaurant! And just at the base of Edinburgh castle too. Amazing service

The location of the hotel is excellent for exploring the Old Town. The room was very clean, a little noisy at night, you are above a pub. (The hotel do provide ear plugs!)
Room size was cozy but with everything we needed. Staff were great. Breakfast next door was yummy!. Will see definitely be back.

The room was small but functional, very convenient because it's super central. Breakfast was limited to a buffet, but you could choose from a selection of dishes offered by the pub.

Solid ramen, appetizers were also quite tasty. Really hit the spot on a cold day.
17.12.2017
Cold restaurant, cold food, chaotic service. Very, very mediocre food compared to other Japanese restaurants in Edinburgh, including the chains. Ramen was sparse of ingredients (I counted only 4) and menu was very limited. Won’t be going back as there are far better options in town.
08.12.2017
Excellent food and great service . It's a must the ramen soup is totally out off this world.

After 3 visits, editing my previous review.
The first time we visited, the food was delicious, came quickly and was reasonably priced.
The last two times we've been, the yakitori grill has been broken, and a 4th time I phoned ahead to check if it was working, to have the woman in the kitchen tell me she didn't know what yakitori was.
The food is decent, but I've had better Japanese food in Edinburgh elsewhere. On my second and third visit, I finally saw what other reviewers have experienced with the long waits, it was an hour from when we sat down until our starters arrived. We had ordered gyoza, and karaage.
For all of the reasons above, have edited my review to be 3 stars; "It's OK"

Not the worst Japanese I have ever had and in context to being in Edinburgh, pretty good effort. We had lunch so it was empty other than us so service was fine. Food overall was authentic and fine.
About to find out if their card facilities work as we don't have any cash on us.

The menu was extensive and delicious. Table servers were attentive but not hovering and very cheerful. I had the tutto mare and it was delicious! The Gunpowder gin cocktails I ordered were also above par. For dessert we ordered the gelato and it was equally fabulous. Great views also. Bar and entertainment district is also close-by.
21.11.2017
Great food and Atmosphere. Service was very slow, staff took a long time to take our orders but food and drinks arrived quickly when they had been taken. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy at the time either.
A drink order was forgotten about by the waitress and a member of our group had to approach the waitress again to order. We also had a long wait for the card machine when paying our bill.
Would recommend the food and cocktails if you don't mind potentially waiting.

Booked last minute last night. Was greeted warmly and placed at the table quickly. Food order was taken but unfortunately had to wait 45 mins for our food to arrive. The manager was very apologetic and said that we did not have to pay for any of the food or drinks. This was a lovely gesture. Excellent customer service with friendly staff. Would definitely recommend visiting.
02.11.2017
One of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh. Great food and service. A little on the expensive side but it's definitely worth coming to once in a while for a good meal with friends. This is also where I get my favourite lemon sorbet dessert!
13.09.2017
Very happy with this place as they have a separate menu for dietary requirements. I am lactose intolerant and they provide a milk free cheese for pizza which I can rarely have as not many places have it. Service was good and lovely location looking out over Edinburgh

Super service!!! Thank you David for your attention all night long. Great food, fantastic service.

Relatively busy pub fairly popular with students. Good choice of beers, reasonable spirit selection
16.10.2017
A popular pub for students and staff of the University of Edinburgh. Good drinks and food selection. Part of the Taylor Walker / Greene King franchise, so you might recognise certain dishes. Good quality though.
15.09.2017
Fast friendly service from the male bartender with dark curly hair. He made our experience special as he let us try different beers so that we could decide which we would enjoy best and also provided us with some friendly banter. 5 stars! ☺ ?
29.08.2017
Lovely pub with comfy atmosphere! We tried the homemade soup which was delicious and made with fresh ingredients! The veggie burger was yummy as well! The staff is friendly and professional! We defo come back!
