Location was excellent for walking to everything! Staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful with information and setting us up with airport transport. Upon arrival we were able to check in early. Breakfast was great with many options!
The room was a bit warm and with the window open we could hear the noise from the street all night. We liked the location. The staff is great. They have a secure building, which we appreciate. We enjoyed our stay.
Extremely helpful staff. We had an issue with our toilet and the maintenance man was so kind and helpful. We also needed extra bedding and they were quick to accommodate. The room was very clean.
Location was fantastic right off Royal Mile, across from Tron Kirk market. Breakfast was decent (extra cost) good restaurants nearby, including a pub behind that keeps loud and late hours!
Had the two twin beds room. It was as described. Didn’t take advantage of the breakfast.
Cons: Water pressure in the shower was not very good and no mini fridge in the room. A bit noisy outside in the evenings.
Pros: Very central location to everything, just a short walk to most places in Old town Edinburgh! Welcoming staff. Clean and safe.
Perfect location nearby the Royal Mile (old town). Personnel was really helpful and friendly. Room was clean; only thing missing was a toilet brush.

Prime location was in the center of city, five min walk up the stairs from train station, many pubs and shops all around, breakfast all the regular fixings and the staff was very friendly,
Hotel is centrally located. Close to train station. It is decent hotel. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Couple of things I want to point out, 1. Even if we close all windows, there is noise from the Hunter Square. 2. The breakfast items not so good. 3. Lobby smells of breakfast in the morning.
