Perfect location for Old Town.
Quiet and clean room with a friendly, impeccable staff made the is holiday a true treat. Will be my first choice on our return trips.
Staff absolutely brilliant - enabled an early check in to let me leave bags in room before a concert. Room great - cracking view but maybe a little more detailed cleaning needed eg door to bathroom and skirting in room. But comfortable bed. Great location. Good value.
This was a great choice for our stay in Edinburgh. The breakfast was great as well!

The best thing about this hotel is the location. The hotel itself is old and tired and
The location was perfect. We were close to many restaurants and the Edinburgh Castle. Everything was so close to walk. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and professional. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely stay here!!!
We were only there for one night but loved the location . There were lots of restaurants within walking distance for dinner . The hotel was clean , the staff both cordial and helpful and the breakfast was bountiful . The spaces for the breakfast and the bar were upscale and nicely decorated . I think this hotel would work for families , couples and solo travelers . I would stay here again .
