The bed was superb - probably the best night's sleep we've had in a hotel. It's in a great location for shopping, tourism and good eateries. Only slight negative was, we weren't told about needing £100 refundable deposit (which some people may not have to hand) and expected to produce photo ID, so keep those in mind if you decide to visit. We will be staying again!

Fantastic accommodation just near the main centre of Edinburgh (OmniCentre, Playhouse, St James Shopping Centre). Plenty of amenities within 5 mins walk amd nice location. Reception staff very friendly and Georgian design hotel was impressive... a bit like the Tardis (bigger on the inside). Room was spacious and had everyone you needed for a stay.
