Parking isnt great but the location is fantastic. Only reason i was a bit annoyed is the worls going on inside. No warning or sign to stop you walking into a corridor full of electric cabled hanging down. Had to go up a floor across the building and back down to get to our room. Reception never mentioned it. Other than that it was a fantastic stay

Loved the stay, but some things you should know before staying. Check in is at 3 and no earlier. Myself and many others were turned away until exactly 3. The shower and toilet are one. So it can get swampy if you don’t get into the shower right away. Bring a Roku or Fire stick.

I can’t think for a better hotel for Edinburgh - this is my fourth stay in the city and the first time I was happy with a hotel. Very spacious room, large bathroom, comfortable bed and there is a kettle and a nespresso coffee maker that I could start my day in a perfect way!

Great location - everything is walkable or there’s buses to attractions out with the city centre. Room was a little dated. Spacious, but a little cold, especially due to laminate flooring underfoot. Some noise from neighbouring properties, but the room was adequate for me and was reasonably priced. Very helpful and pleasant staff.

Very average, nice staff but tired hotel

Quite shabby in places, initial room had damp smell and no air conditioning working. Moved to an acceptable room. Corridor carpets worn, bedding sheets very thin/worn.

Convenient location and very clean.

Check in went smoothly, the ladies attending the reception desk were even able to accommodate a request to change our room type from a double to a twin. All areas we saw within the hotel were very clean including within our room. Very close to the Royal Mile and the Festival Theatre - only a couple minutes walk away in either direction from the hotel. Only downside was we could hear loud music late at night - a nearby pub or club maybe? Didn’t disturb us though once we were asleep. Enjoyed our 1 night stay so much, I have booked this hotel again for a short stay in the summer.
