Hotel was in a great location but unfortunately our room was located next to either construction or deliveries. I’m not sure which as we could not see anything but it was very noisy every morning starting around 5am. The hotel was clean and very friendly, efficient, helpful staff.

The hotel is in a very popular area which is good and bad. Great for getting to everything, bad because it was very noisy outside and the rooms were so warm you needed to keep the windows open so you could sleep.

The staff was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was quick and tasty. But the best part was the size of the room. I was very impressed because sometimes city hotels feel cramped but this was spacious. We had some could rainy weather and enjoyed an afternoon relaxing in the room, driving coffee, and looking at the views of the castle while we warmed up

The hotel was conveniently located near Victoria St, the Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile in the historic area. My husband is gluten free and we were surprised that they made his eggs to order with gluten free toast daily. We had a pleasant stay.

We loved the large room with the balcony view of the Castle. The bathroom was large with a bathtub and separate shower and storage space above the sink. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. Very conveniently located to the city center for dining, shopping and tours. One of the best hotels we stayed at in our 3 country tour in the UK over 3 weeks.

An absolutely fabulous hotel! Five stars for everything! The room was spotless and spacious. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel provided a peaceful oasis in a busy and stunningly beautiful city. The Grassmarket area is delightful, filled with shops and restaurants, has a castle view, and is an easy walk to the Royal Mile with all it has to offer.
