It is an absolute brilliant Hotel. I actually just wanted to stay for one night but I had to stay longer... My room was huge, beautifully designed and as thought through as a hotel room can be (It really had everything from nespresso coffee and fresh milk to nailpolish remover and hairstraightener )... The staff was very welcoming and helpful at all times and the breakfast was great.Highly recommend. One of the best Hotels I have stayed in so far.

Loved our stay at Forth House- everything was modern, spotlessly clean and new and convenient to the smallest detail- kitchen appliances, iron, hair dryer, coffee and tea and bicuits upon arrival😍🫶🏼 The location is wonderful- just a few minutes fron Tesco express and a large shopping mall. Short 5-10 min walk to Princess Street, Royal Mile, Waverly and Calton Hill. The beds and bedding were wonderful as well. Would definitely stay again😍

The property is very close to the city centre, you can easily get a bus directly to the city centre. Plus this house is ideal for families and groups. The property had pretty much everything from clean rooms to furnished kitchen. They also do provide breakfast, which is a plus amongst all the listed houses here. The host mandy were a great host and were readily available for any help or responses. I would 100% recommend this property to people travelling to Edinburgh.
