This hotel is very nice. It is very conveniently located, just a block from the train and bus stations as well as old city center of Edinburgh. The staff gave me a free upgrade to a suite which was wonderful, except that this was the “ literary suite” with 3 full-size paintings of famous Scottish authors on the wall, staring at you…

Great walkable location. Staff is very friendly and effective for quick requests. Clean place. Only complaint is that our bed was very uncomfortable, lumpy and hard. Would recommend they invest in new plush mattresses.
