1886 Restaurant

We were visiting for afternoon tea which was enjoyable. The downside was that we were early and were the only folk in the restaurant. For our taste, we would have preferred less of the very sweet cakes. The staff were lovely, extremely attentive, well we were the only guests there! Lovely situation, bright but cold day in early March. Recommended.

Lovely hotel, great atmosphere, clean loos. We had afternoon tea and it was very tasty. 3 types of sandwich on different bread. A different savoury bite would have been good e.g. quiche, sausage roll. Scone with cream and jam, cake, macaron, cupcake and eclair - all lovely. We couldn't finish the food so took some away. Staff were great, friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

The place is located in the calm area and is great for short and long stays. It has spacious car parking and a bus stop next to the hotel. So you can leave your car and explore Edinburgh by public transport. There is also a park next to the hotel where you can spent some time enjoying morning walk. The hotel has lounge, bar and restaurant where you can relax if the weather is not friendly enough. We had the room for two that was clean and comfortable. We had everything we need. However, sometimes we heard our neighbors speaking in the other room, so sound proof could be better. But it's not critical as long as there is no party next door.
