"The four-floor, 27-room B B Edinburgh is a modern boutique take on the traditional bed-and-breakfast inn." 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

"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

Independent "It’s a short walk to Princes Street Gardens and the Old Town, and the onsite restaurant, BABA, is dog-friendly and serves the best blackened sweet potato with pomegranate molasses you’ll ever taste."
Independent "Right in the centre of Edinburgh’s New Town, Kimpton’s Charlotte Square property has one core asset above every other city-centre property: its own enclosed, private garden"
Independent "City-centre hotels don’t get more dog-friendly than this. “If it fits in the lift, it’s allowed in” is the policy...it’s a short walk to Princes Street Gardens and the Old Town"
