Loved staying here. Large room, large very comfortable bed. Great breakfast options. Staff very nice and helpful. Enjoyed the pool and sauna after long day of walking around Edinburgh. Can walk to Waverley station with luggage (15min). Slightly out of the heavy tourist area (next to uni campus) but only minutes walk to Royal mile etc. lots of great meal options close by. Definitely would stay here again.

It was in a perfect location - close enough to walk everywhere but far enough from the hubbub of the Royal Mile to be able to enjoy a quiet nights sleep. The service was unparalleled and everything was extremely clean. A great stay!

Nice but 1 small problem
T.Vs did not work in any of the rooms the weekend we went. Not a drama and didnt effect our stay but all we got was a "sorry" on check out and not even a discount on the overall bill or even a drink at the bar when reporting it.

Previously stayed at this hotel when it was under different ownership. Has been refurbished and was clean , modern and beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming- hot food was luke warm and not a great choice and it was self service coffee from a flask , a self servi e coffee machine woukd be nicer

We had a deluxe king room, the room itself was great however the room was dusty and didn’t seem to be cleaned as part of the daily turndown. I think this is highlighted more through there being black fixtures in the room, eg the lights and switches by the bed. The location of the hotel was really good to see all sides of Edinburgh.
