Perfectly fine hotel close to Princes street.

Nice enough room (& I loved that the closet w/the ironing board had its own window), clean, quiet. Will definitely stay there again next time I'm in Edinburgh.

Reasonable location just off Princess St. Facilities fine. Room a bit on the warm side with no obvious thermostat and TV a bit far away from the bed for ideal viewing. However I'm only there to drop my bags off and to sleep.
