Beautiful hotel and location was superb! We were right in the middle of the city center and we were able to walk everywhere. We only had two days in Edinburgh but very happy we picked this hotel! Check in and checkout was fast. We arrived at the hotel at 9am and we were able to check in beforehand. Rooms were clean and quiet. Definitely recommend for anyone staying in Edinburgh!

Great location but ver simple accomodations
This hotel has a GREAT location. Situated in a nice old building, right across from the train station, it is perfect for visiting Edinburgh. But the rooms are small and very basic. Bathrooms are simple to a minimum. Not enough space for cupboards, hanging clothes or hooks. We used the small table for our suitcase (add racks maybe). No fridge. The AC is not like American standards. Okay choice for the value.

Brown carpet just too sad
I don’t know why this is rated a 9/10. The lobby is nice enough but our room was old and run down. The brown dingy carpet just felt gross! I wouldn’t stay here again.

Good option for a short stay
Overall we had a pretty good stay. Pros: great location for sightseeing, friendly and helpful staff, very convenient connection by Airlink bus from the airport (a 3 min walk from Waverly stop), cozy lobby. Cons: room felt bare - not a single shelf in the bathroom or in the room; lack of recycling containers. Felt a bit overpriced for what it offered. But I guess that‘s Edinburgh in July.

Bit like a Premier Inn
Good location for work or pleasure. Hotel is fine but room was a bit hot and not the best insulated for noise. 1 night was fine for one person but wouldn’t want to be here as a couple or for longer than 1 night. Fair value.

Decent
Bathroon was a bit dirty, dust on the floor which looked like it had been there a while. View was poor as it looked over to a youth hostel and pub, so noise was loud, even though i was with a child.
