The Lane Hotel Edinburgh

What guests think

Reviews describe The Lane Hotel as a charming small boutique stay with very friendly staff and comfortable, well-appointed rooms, with many guests appreciating tasteful decor, the property’s character, and the overall experience.

Guests praise spacious layouts, comfy beds and overall cleanliness, though a few report uncomfortable mattresses. The Canny Man’s pub next door is often highlighted for its food and atmosphere, while breakfast feedback ranges from excellent to limited. Set in Morningside, the area feels pleasant and safe with good bus links, but it is not right in the city center. Expect a comfortable boutique base with a lively local vibe away from downtown.

Keys had to be collected from the Canny Man pub next door, very welcoming and invited us back after getting settled in our room for a complimentary drink. The Chandelier Room (with modern Chandelier) had a very large bathroom, possibly suitable for wheelchair though access at the front is stairs (maybe another entrance?). Breakfast was superb, Scottish, Continental and Vegetarian options. Warm friendly atmosphere with quirky decor covering the time periods of the pub.

Very friendly welcome on arrival and room was super…comfortable, spacious, clean and huge! We had the Watson suite. Great base for getting in and out of Edinburgh by bus or taxi, and lots of cafes and small shops if you want to stay local. Canny Mans is a fabulous pub…very popular, but no issue for us with noise at night either. Will happily stay again.

The facilities were excellent and of a high standard. The only negative thing I would say is there is no option for breakfast which is a shame, ecpecially as the price was on the high side. Even if there are no facilities for a cooked option a continental breakfast would have been most welcome.

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.
