Modern and best location in Edinburgh. Located in NewTown, attached to a new shopping center, very convenient. The main Bus station is also 1 block away. Everything is within walking distance. Just book it wont regret it.
I absolutely loved my stay here.
The hotel was beautiful and the staff were really wonderful.
I had been asked in advance if I was celebrating a special occasion and I explained that it was my Ruby wedding anniversary although I had been widowed for many years.
When I checked in there was a beautiful bouquet of roses in my room with a card from the staff.
This was such a lovely gesture and I really appreciated it..
I will definitely return here.
Super located hotel, helpful and friendly staff where nothing is too much trouble - from arranging taxi’s / local knowledge / extra tea bags! The room was perfect, really clean and modern. Highly recommended.
From the moment we arrived, the staff were excellent! Offering a very warm welcome, arranging a birthday treat for my partner and going out their way to assist us. The room itself was beautiful and we can’t wait to visit again.
