Frommer's "The Club Floor is geared toward luxury-minded guests: It has a dedicated elevator, butler service, lounge, and library, along with a champagne and canapé reception every night." Full review
Star Service "This modern, yet unpretentious hotel is similar in quality to the Carlton and bears an equally precious downtown locale although without the views of the castle-facing rooms in the Apex International." Full review

Fodor's "Standing out along an elegant and tranquil West End terrace, this imposing Victorian mansion combines grand public spaces with affordable modern accommodation." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"It is worth staying here just to see the galleried library lounge, not to mention the eccentric atmosphere, period features, generous breakfasts and excellent value for money." Full review
Independent "27-room boutique B&B: it’s away from the city buzz on a purely residential street of Georgian townhouses. But it far exceeds the expectations of a regular B&B with a full complement of quirks."
Frommer's "Each floor has a different color scheme, beds are comfy, furniture funky, and some have freestanding baths...views at the back—of pretty Dean Village to the Forth and hills of Fife—are equally good. " Full review
