"A very ideally located hotel in Edinburgh next to the Grassmarket and the Royal mile. There is a paid parking very close to the hotel and the hotel gives a coupon which reduces the overnight charges from 38 gbp to just 18 gbp . Staff is very helpful and is available all the time . The suites and apartments are fairly spacious and well equipped. Would come and stay again if required. On the whole best choice for Edinburgh."

"The hotel was great, albeit that the rooms are small with hanging space along the wall. It has everything you would need along with a well designed bathroom. The staff are excellent and very friendly. The breakfast is fine. A mix of pastries, fruit and yoghurt along with a few hot pastry options too. Overall I’d recommend it as long as your suitcases aren’t too big for the room."

8/10 Good
"Overall, the property is well located and staff were very pleasant and helpful. I do want to preface that there was a hidden fee called “the festival service tax” which was close to $150 for a weeks stay. This tax is now disclosed on the property as being included in the price but wasn’t there prior to booking and shouldn’t have been passed onto the consumer. This was not disclosed to us prior to our stay and was apparently implemented due to the Fringe festival taking place during the month of August. Pre booking resulted in a penalty which was not appreciated. Staff were kind and helpful with questions however which was a positive to the stay."
