We loved our recent stay at the hotel. We were offered an upgrade to a king room before we arrived and quickly agreed to pay more. This turned out to be a great choice for us since we stayed for 6 nights. The staff were warm and friendly and we truly felt welcome. We can’t wait to go back and will book there again

The staff were super service oriented, very informative and friendly. Hotel lobby and common areas were very stylish and comfortable. Great location in Charlotte Square area. Great hotel restaurant and also nearby restaurants. Room was comfortable but we did not like the location of the room on the back side of hotel and the common areas leading to our room were not appealing and hallway outside our room had housekeeping supplies stationed there at all times.

Stunning hotel, inside & out. Very attentive staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Very comfortable room. Great location for shopping, restaurants, sights in Edinburgh & public transport. Easy walking distance too. Sadly, slept badly the 2nd night due to noise from public, in the street, until 03.30. Staff at the hotel were very apologetic but obviously it’s not their fault. We would recommend this hotel to others.
