Overnight Stay

Beautiful spacious room. The room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Unfortunately, I ended up in the emergency department of the hospital as I had a gallbladder attack. Spent most of the night in a hospital bed. Got back to the hotel about 4:30am and managed to get some sleep in the super comfy bed. Would love to return to be able to appreciate the stay more. Highly recommended.

We stayed here for our last night before flying back to Canada. It is a cute boutique hotel, but is seeing some wear and tear. The attached pub is fantastic and has a great authentic neighborhood feel. The staff are excellent.

Great time at the Canny Man’s

Excellent rooms with a great pub and restaurant downstairs. This is the second time I have stayed here and my third visit will be next week. So handy for local shopping in Morningside and Bruntsfield and on good bus routes for the rest of Edinburgh

Great place to stay. Recommend mentioning that if guests wish to have evening meal in the Canny Man pub it is advisable to book in advance. We didn't but although we eventually got a table, had to be squeezed in between existing tables after a 10 minute uncertain wait.
