This is a great location right on the Royal Mile. I was surprised how quiet it was even at night when people were out late just right outside. My only issues were with the size of the apartment. It’s quite small. The bed was very small. But everything was nice and convenient, the staff was helpful and friendly and it was nice to have food options onsite.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a two-night stay, and my experience was quite mixed. Upon arrival, we were given a room that was extremely disappointing. The room was incredibly small, with barely enough space to move around. To make matters worse, the bed, which they referred to as a “UK king,” was more like a standard double—definitely not suitable for two people to sleep comfortably. The bathroom was also a major letdown, positioned awkwardly right next to the bed, making the entire setup feel cramped and far from relaxing. Given the room’s size and overall layout, it certainly didn’t feel like it was worth the price we paid. The first night was honestly quite uncomfortable, and I was not looking forward to spending another night there. However, we were fortunate to be offered an upgrade for our second night, and this completely changed our experience. The new room was in a different building and was significantly larger, with much better amenities. It was exactly what we had hoped for from the start—spacious, comfortable, and with a more pleasant overall atmosphere. One more downside worth mentioning is that the floor of the original building had a noticeable fishy smell, likely due to the restaurant downstairs. Thankfully, the upgraded room in the separate building was free from this issue. In summary, our stay was a tale of two halves: the first night was uncomfortable and frustrating, but the second night in the upgraded room was perfect. If you’re staying here,

Amazing property, fantastic location. Although in the heart of the city the property was well insulated against noise and fully air conditioned. For those visiting the city for Fringe you basically step out of the hotel into the fringe! The hotel uses the restaurant next door to provide breakfast and food if needed. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

I expected high quality for this property since its price is equivalent to five star hotel. But this is not like luxury hotel. The shower water is so weak, I can barely wash my hair. There was noise outside the bedroom, like a machine running, so I couldn’t sleep well.

The actual property and the apartment had a great view and a balcony were wonderful. All the amenities were there. But, they kept encouraging me to sign up for their app to communicate my needs. On the first day i requested a sleeve of Nespresso. Four days later when we checked out we never heard from them and never received our coffee. Worse yet, we are in our 70's and asked the front desk for assistance with our luggage the next morning. The front desk said someone would be at our door at 7am to help ys with our bags. 7am came and went and no one showed up. When I went to the front desk a young woman said she had no knowledge of our request and would not help us. There are many steps between the two buildings and it was a great struggle to get our luggage to the lobby. DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU ARE OLDER AND NEED ASSISTANCE. Very disappointing. And especially for the price.
