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😍
