We stayed on a Saturday night. It’s in the heart of Edinburgh so you would expect some noise from outside, however the sound of what seemed to bottles being tipped into glass recycling bins went on until after 1am. People singing and shouting outside went on until after 2am. The sound between rooms wasn’t great either, we could hear the voices of the couple next door to us. It is a lovely hotel and a great location and it was fine for one night, but be aware at weekends!
