Very convenient to the Edinburgh Castle and most attractions, important for those who have never been to Edinburgh, it’s very hilly with lots of steps, this place is on a route that’s very accessible and relatively flat and you won’t smoke yourself carrying luggage.

The staff was wonderful, the confusion in reaching/ returning to room due to construction very frustrating also, it would've been great to be oriented to how the power works, ex..the entire power grid to the room was turned off everyday after cleaning. Room would be fridged upon return.. Americans do not function in this manner. Power is aways present, no steps needed.

The staff were lovely and helpful and it was a great location in the centre of Edinburgh. There was some work being done on the building (outside the establishment's control) but it couldn't be heard from our room. Would recommend and happily stay here again!

Pleasant Stay.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful on our arrival, even though we were an hour early. The gentleman who secures luggage also showed us to the restaurant area whilst we waited for our room to be ready. Very helpful and informative, explained that the hotel is being renovated enabling a direct route from the train station. Overall, everyone was helpful. Food was tasty and to a good standard however the buffet breakfast items such as bacon, sausages, eggs had cooled, not sure the hot plate was working properly. Bedroom clean, but decor becoming tired, needs revamp. Comfortable beds! Lovely overnight stay and the people who worked there were helpful, friendly and patient!

Stairs in the room corridors, difficult to manage with suitcases (consider building ramps instead, as I've experienced in other hotels). Room/bathroom was roomy & nice but noise from adjoining room was unreasonable and mattress was very hard.
