Good location to train station - ok stay.
Not sure why I was put into an accessible room - meant that there was no surface space for toiletries and the sink was very low and I am only 5ft 4. The pillows were extremely thick and hard and the room was boiling hot, couldn't work the in room aircon/fan. The bathroom sink was dirty with brown stains. Disposal cups and drinks stirrers as opposed to china cups and metal spoons. Seems very un eco-friendly. Good location to the trainstation

Simple but nice.
Welcoming staff, efficient checkin. Room was nice if a little lacklustre- the plain white textured walls felt a bit dreary. No mugs only paper cups which was a shame. I had a double which was actually two twins next to each other and i did sink into the middle dip a bit but generally a comfy bed. Double window system blocked out noise very well even though on a busy street opposite train station.

You’re at the heart of it all - very easy to walk everywhere. The staff are very friendly, and the room was clean. Had all the amenities I needed - I was particularly worried about a hair dryer :)

This hotel couldn’t be more conveniently located. It’s literally within walking distance of everything… restaurants, shopping, sight seeing, Edinburgh castle, buses, etc. it was clean and quiet. We had a great view of the whole city from our room. The bar/restaurant is very nice with good views, and the staff was friendly. The only issue was that the water barely came out in the shower, and didn’t get very hot. However, I would definitely stay there again.

Lobby and lounge is lovely but the actual rooms you stay in are very small and run down. They obviously do not put any priority to the condition of the hotel room. Very disappointing. Would not recommend this hotel to friends.

Great place to stay In Edinburgh. Close to the theater, new shopping center, and North Bridge to Royal Mile. Easy access to public transportation. We have stayed in multiple places in Edinburgh and this was by far the most convenient and reasonably priced option we have found.
