The room was great for our family of 5. The room was nice and warm for our arrival and was in a fantastic location for getting the tram/buses.
Plenty of eating places nearby. Would highly recommend to any families wanting to stay somewhere central.
Easy to find.Good area.We parked at omni Q car park which was easy enough to get too.Then we got tram to take us to a stop near B&B.5 minute walk from Tram.Tram took us to Princess street to Christmas market.The B&B was clean.beds where very comfortable.Had a great night sleep.thank you.
We had a great stay, reception staff was very attentive to our needs.
Place was clean, and we had quiet nights.
Would stay there again.
Breakfast was offered but we didn’t expect it to be. Price was right for our budget and that’s what was important to us.
Relatively clean and definitely quiet and walkable. About a 30 minute walk from touristy parts of Edinburgh, can’t beat the value if you just need a place to sleep.
Good location. Everything fairly clean but very tired. Easy entry. Stains on white duvet and shower went from hot to cold to hot (no in between). Just ok
This hotel is safe and very nice. Price is affordable and worth. Bus stop is nearby. Dinning room was supported and huge. I would give this hotel 5 stars.

Convenient location
The location is central to all the tourist sites. The employees are friendly. The hotel is clean. The main problem is insufficient water pressure in the shower.

Area location was perfect near trams/buses. Quiet. Room was tiny with slanted ceiling so not suitable for a tall person, but adequate for me and my daughter. Shared bathroom.
Very good place and room
It is clean and the size is enough for 2 persons
I love it ,, if i will come to Edinburgh i will back reservations in same room
Nice location, tram to the train station and airport a few minutes away, and if you like walking old town is 20 min away.
The room is nice, nothing fancy, but it was clean and had decent amenities
The room was clean, lovely and warm and had everything we needed. Cleaned daily with water, tea, coffee and biscuits replenished daily. Easy self check in and out. Great location, 2 minute walk from lots of shops, pubs and restaurants.

Close to bus and tram. No elevator. Very helpful staff!
Location is great, close to most and very close to trams, bed was comfortable.
Though the shower was a dribble, and a few bits and pieces didn’t work.
The communal area needs some work, don’t expect clean dishes to use or a breakfast included like we thought.
