Great mid priced property. Location for sightseeing is super. Well maintained and decent size rooms. Bar and lounge area on site and close to restaurants in old town. I didn't mind there was no air conditioning but it will be noisy especially with open windows. The bar goers will yell and construction starts early. Loud bangs that go on very early. Bring earplugs to stay here.

It's a great location for food, transportation and entertainment. However, the room was a disappointing - it was very stuffy hot and the bed was not comfortable. Also, I could not figure out the staff... at times they acted like they are bothered by answering basic questions. If this does not bother you, it's a great place.

Excellent location, simple check in and a small cafe/bar in the lobby. If you’ve arrived by train the location Is so convenient (taking the market street exit there will be stairs). Location is also perfect for all the sights! Wifi was strong, A few steps to the room…but it’s Edinburgh and nothing is flat!

Clean and comfy room. Many attractions within walking distance. Lots of food options close by. A little noisy when the bars closed down, but too tired from sight seeing to really notice. Staff was phenomenal!!! Really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend. Only negative was parking was quite a ways away.

Hotel was in a great location for walking to all the tourists attractions. Clean room and just the right size for a couple for three nights. Only downfall is the room didn’t have good ventilation and the air conditioner didn’t work. Room seemed to get hotter at night and only relief was to leave the window open, but it can only open a couple inches. This made for early morning wake ups since the construction noises started at 5-6 AM. Besides that the staff was great. Bar stayed open until 4 in the morning. Had a breakfast buffet, but we didn’t eat there. They do give 5 pound vouchers that can be used by towards drinks if you choose to not have your room cleaned daily. We did enjoy the room. It’s not fancy, but was efficient for our short stay. The location is truly the crown jewel on this one.
