Lying on a main bus route, access to all major attractions is easy. Private car park, free of charge.

The decor is outstanding, with original ornate plasterwork. The House is the ideal base for those either touring or on business. 'In Britain' magazine has rated The International as their 'find' in all Edinburgh. The full Scottish breakfasts, served on the finest bone china, are a delight, and a return to a bygone age. The bedrooms are equally a haven of luxury, all are beautifully furnished and in addition to full en-suite facilities, are equipped with colour TV, direct dial telephone, and tea/coffee hospitality tray. Some rooms enjoy magnificent views across to the extinct volcano of Arther's Seat. Bedrooms are Served daily. Guests have their own front door key, to come and go as they please.
