This is a cute property with excellent staff. The price is very reasonable for being in the downtown area of the city. For being on a busy road right by the bus station, it wa surprisingly quiet. Easy access to shopping and dining options and within walking distance to Edinburgh castle. 10/10 I would gladly stay there again.

The hotel was across the street from the bus station and handy to catch our Rabbies tour. Having no elevator is a tough climb with suitcases, but the staff did lend a hand.

Hotel is clean and in easy walking distance of attractions in central Edinburgh. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Be advised: there is no lift and most of the hotel is above the ground floor, so if you have mobility issues or heavy luggage you should choose a different hotel.

Comfortable stay in Edinburgh!

A comfortable and clean hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Very nice and helpful staff. Good location, about a 5 minutes walk away from Princes Street, and around a 15 minutes walk to the Royal Mile.
