The room was spacious and I loved the cooking facilities (modern and well equipped). Staff were very helpful and friendly. Sadly, I did notice that some of the other guests weren’t polite to them. I recommend bringing your manners to Edinburgh and you will receive a great Scottish welcome. I was visiting Edinburgh University and this location is exactly what I wanted - right in the heart of the University. It was close to the tourist sites with the benefits of not being surrounded by tourists. Bed and pillows were very comfy, too. Shower was hot. Breakfast was more than I expected but I don’t eat much for breakfast. Shops, restaurants and transport is all close by. I would stay here again.
The room was fairly clean and staff were very polite and accommodating. The only reason I will not give 5 stars is that the temperature was not controllable in the room, and the bathroom had a very odd window in it that let a draft in. As well as that, the bathroom sink was located in the main living area which was a bit inconvenient with 2 guests in the space and not very private/practical.

Great service snd location. Hotel under refurbishment so our room as a little tired and not yet refurbished or as clean as I would have liked. But overall acceptable.
The staff was very kind and helpful. The room was clean and everything worked great. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful and never disappointed! The location was great, as we could easily walk to each end of the city in a matter of minutes and see all that we wanted to see. You will not be disappointed by staying here!
I greatly enjoyed my stay here. Friendly staff, clean room, decent breakfast options and ideal location to walk to tons of shopping, dining and tour locations. I would stay here again.
Dropped our daughter at University of Edinburgh. We couldn’t have gotten closer to the main campus. Great location. All major sights were walkable. WONDERFUL buffet breakfast each morning very quiet and clean. 2-room suite type hotel with kitchenette and sitting area in separate room with tv. Highly recommend. Will stay again when visiting our daughter.
