Very nice, comfortable, and clean. Rooms located above the pub. Only issue was the room entrance was outside and required climbing several stairs. Persons with limited mobility would find it challenging.

A hidden gem

Wanted convenient hotel..not in the heart of the city and not at the airport.. with restaurant to spend our last 2 days in Scotland. Room was well appointed…large rain shower. Restaurant and bar were busy with locals…great food, service, selection at reasonable prices. Thanks to Mike for a warm welcome and help in getting around

It was a great one-night stay and accessible to public transportation and less than 15mins. drive to the airport and downtown. The staff were wonderful and friendly. The area was clean and safe. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends.

Great spot in Edinburgh

Perfect spot for our last night in Scotland. Small hotel above a great local restaurant/pub. Room was clean and comfortable and the staff very helpful before and during our stay. Friendly staff at the pub, too. Primary reason for booking this location was easy access to the airport for an early morning flight and so for that reason: mission accomplished. Easy access from Haymarket Station when arriving and 10-minute morning cab ride to the airport.

Lovely room and so dog friendly

I had a friendly welcome on arrival and the dogs got a lovely welcome pack for their stay. This was a lovely touch. The room was clean, nicely decorated and had everything I needed. I slept very well even though it's on a main road there was little noise. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you are travelling with dogs.

Nice room not much else. Quite pricey for what it is. A little out of town but frequent buses. Staff friendly but not always on hand when you need them as they are working in the bar.

This property is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, both the B and B and the restaurant down stairs. We used Uber to get around. About 10 min. In to town or out to the airport. The only thing I would change are the bed pillows. They are very thin and offer no support.

There are a lot of steps to room. Maybe go for a room at back.. we got less than 2 hours sleep in room at front, not ideal when we’ve got a 5 hour journey ahead. Parking is at Toby inn, ok. Room was clean and well stocked. No where to hang clothes except back of door. Sorry wouldn’t stay again, bI cause of noise from road (not double glazed) and the green exit light above door. Too light.

Emma was our host to check in, and our waitress in the restaurant. A lovely young woman, very polite and helpful. The room was very clean and decent size. Hotel right on main road from Airport to Downtown making it very convenient to access and then go a bus into town. Restaurant for was decent and a good value. Met the owner when we checked out, and kind man with travel tips for our next destination. We'd certainly stay again if coming back to Edinburgh.

Rooms were great. Staff were great. Pub/restaurant downstairs was great. Food was tasty. Only issue is that the room was quite warm. It was a battle between a hot room (can’t sleep) and road noise with the window open (can’t sleep).

Annorlunda o mysigt boende.

Det var trevligt på på ett så litet boende. Var en bit in till Edinburgh men vi har varit där så mycket så det var inte det viktigaste för oss denna gång. Personalen var trevlig. Nära trafikerad väg, men bra isolering när man stängde.

While it was on a busy street and difficult to find where to park, the manager was amazing and helped us with our suitcases. The rooms are located above the restaurant and there is no elevator but it was only one flight of stairs. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. There is no A/C so it was a little hot because we couldn't open the window.
