Modern and artsy hotel with stunning views
Black Ivy is a lovely hotel in the center of Edinburgh right next to the Meadows. Its interior and exterior design is wonderful and artsy, with photography in the hallways and rooms. It's really a gem. Our room had a gorgeous park view out to the Meadows and onto the lovely skyline of Edinburgh. The room was clean and modern and had all the amenities (shampoo, shower gel, hair dryer, etc) and it is ecofriendly. The staff is excellent and super helpful. We had a great stay. The Xmas decoration was quite special.

The place needs air conditioning
The staff were cheerful and friendly. Room 211, top floor, was ok but *stifflingly hot* and sleeping was near impossible. To be fair it was during a very hot period in August which I realise may be unusual for Scotland but there was no air conditioning, the window only opened a few centimetres and the fan was all but useless. Altogether it was an expensive and uncomfortable night in a very small room.

2/10 Poor

Misleading Room Information
Double Room information was misleading. The room was so small, there is no place to put my two small suitcases. I have to move some of the room furniture to outside. In order to reach so called Wardrobe, you have to walk through on the bed. Despite my complaint to staff, nothing happened. Room is not 13 sq m at all. You will have only 1sq m to move around, Do not book room 107. Your holiday will be ruin.
