This is an excellent located hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Very accommodating with early arrival and breakfast was delicious. Thank you for the stay.
For the price, this was a clean hotel room, and comfortable. Breakfast was good, as well. Having to carry my suitcase down two flights of stairs was really the only drawback.
Within 5 mins away from this place ,
You will find anything you need.
And walk the 15 mins to get bus to airport , worth the savings .
Safe was amazing at this place .
It was a wonderful place to stay. The room was full of character with modern amenities and suited our family well. The staff were incredibly helpful, considerate and accommodating. The breakfast was included with our booking and was amazing. Hope to visit again!
What a wonderful room. We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. We were thrilled with the location and the standards of both the room and service given.

Large room with lots of space. However, very basic breakfast, disappointing room amenities and not a warm welcome on arrival. Business model seems to be to take advantage of one-off visitors with as little outlay as possible, not to get repeat business.
Great location for sightseeing, restaurants, and transportation. Comfortable beds, spacious room, superior bathroom. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Would stay at the hotel again.
The room, which was in the back on the ground level, was large and very quiet. Hotel is centrally located and even has a very convenient Tesco Express grocery store just a short distance down the street. Mass transit is close. Hotel staff gave us exactly what we requested. We highly recommend this hotel!
Breakfast was cooked fresh to order, lovely staff and excellent accommodation, within easy walking distance to all the main attractions, would recommend.
Loved the Location. Room was spacious, clean and bathroom also.Breakfast not really good. Room oriented on the street and could hear the noise from the traffic outside. But other options seemed available. Bed comfortable. No fridge in the room and no safety box. Staff very nice. No water available in the evening except sparkling water. But overall we had a good short stay.
Everything about this hotel was perfect: the central location, the beautiful historic building, the friendly staff and the really comfortable room. Oh, and the view was the BEST too! Thank you for a great stay, only wish it could’ve been longer!
