We have been travelling for more than 40 years, and my wife and I both agree, that this is possibly the best place we've stayed. Modern and clean rooms, and a short walk to the Royal Mile. There is also a great bar/restaurant downstairs.

The hotel appears to be right next to a nightclub that was open till 1:30 on a Friday. We had an early train to catch the next morning and getting good sleep as we wanted to was very difficult. Aside from that the rooms were well equipped and clean.

If you’re looking for a party, this is the hotel for you! Music in the evenings, big screen watching of sports events, lots of young people hanging out. If you’re looking for a quiet night’s rest, suggest you avoid this place as the music goes late into the evening.

Great base

Perfect place to use as a base for exploring. Next door to a very lively bar so don’t expect perfect quiet. Though we managed to sleep no problem.

NOT Family Friendly thanks to Three Sisters

This hotel is NOT family friendly. The "disco" bar next to the hotel is open until 5am and has no semblance of a decent decibel to their music. No where on any website does it state that some of there rooms are directly above the bar (which ours was). The hotel has agreements with the bar so they inherently have a FLAWED business model. Their answer to the music is to "provide you earplugs". Talk about a lack of care for their patrons. I think they could easily spend a little money to completely soundproof the areas where people are trying to sleep. In addition to the music, we really "appreciated" the bar fight with the bouncers at 345am. If we would have known about the bar or the chance that we would have to compete our sleep with moronic drunk bar patrons, I would absolutely have booked elsewhere. And would recommend anyone else do so as well.

It's a very good Hotel with great location, the Very Very bad thing is that is next to a Disco-Bar with super loud music until 2 or 3 a.m.. It was so loud that our room vibrated.

Great area and well appointed rooms. We liked the fact they offer rooms with multiple beds, but bathroom ventilation was poor and the glass door on the bathroom does not work well with the family
