Mari

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were friendly, good decor throughout and very nice location close to lots of attractions. We did have a problem with the mattress being busted but to be fair to the staff when told about it in the morning they did say the room would blocked until a new mattress arrived so they were responsive. Unfortunately there was also a terrible smell in the bathroom (old urinal) which could be more difficult to sort given the age of the building - but a thorough flushing/cleaning is definitely needed.

Friendly and accommodating staff. I booked without checking lift availability. Having just started walking following an ankle replacement, I didn’t want to be climbing stairs. They were very accommodating allowing me a room on the ground floor. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Breakfast cooked fresh and great selection

New Town Old Values!

If you are looking to stay in central Edinburgh for a great price this is the hotel for you. Split over two sites the venue is clean, brigh and modern. The Scottish breakfast was very tasty and included haggis and black pudding. Other options were available. One street up from the station so good travel links. Ask for a bedroom in the second block as it includes wonderful views of the city.

Great location, the hotel has been totally renovated and has very spacious and will appointed rooms. Staff was very friendly. It is a new hotel so they are still working on improvements to service. Tram to the city and airport is a two minute walk. Ten minute walk to the royal mile. Plenty of Cafe and pubs near by. Next time in Edinburgh we will definitely stay here.
