The location is prime, it's just a short walk from the Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The hotel is just off the main road so it's a bit quieter and away from the noises that come with a highly populated city. Also, the Airlink and city bus services are nearby, rather inexpensive, and very efficient. Housekeeping was more relaxed in the rooms than I like, but the common areas were well maintained. The staff also seemed short-handed for the amount of work required for a hotel this busy.

I liked the modern decor of the hotel as it made it look and feel very upmarket. The staff were very inviting and the atmosphere was very nice. Food was lovely and great value for money and the drink prices where amazing. really enjoyed the 20% discount on food and drink for being a hotel guest. My whole experience at the hotel was positive and the only thing that I would say was negative was that we were at the top landing and there where about 8 flights of stairs, however they did say that on the website to make you fully aware, just exhausting when you had been walking all over edinburgh then you had to climb stairs to access your room. Only thing I would change is request a room on a lower level. Apart from that i would highly recommend the place and will use again.

I got a really nice room just for me and my friend for a good price. The room was kept clean at all times and we even got a coffee maker in the room which was definitely a plus. The breakfast they offered was actually quite nice too and included in the price. Close to the train station and a 20 minute walk from the Royal Mile, a little far, but close enough. I would certainly stay at this hotel again. There were no lifts. We stayed at the last floor and nobody helped us carry our bags, which were very heavy. It wouldn't be a problem if there was a lift.

The staff couldnt do enough to help they were fantastic. The bar is very reasonable too and you get 20% off the prices! The value for money was the main pull for us here but the location was good (about 10 mins walk to Princes street) and comfortable accommodation.

Staff helpful and friendly - we had a problem with water pressure in our shower and this was dealt with straight away. Australian girl, called Dee, especially friendly and efficient. Relaxed atmosphere. Good location for Book festival, modern art art gallery and water of Leith walk (all of which we sampled). Room very small and lacking in storage - nowhere to put shower products or hang towels. Seemed a bit pricey for its size - festival rates I assume. Room could have done with a bit more 'deep cleaning' E.G. skirting boards dusty as were drawers inside wardrobe and behind bed. More healthy options for breakfast would have been good E.G. muesli, yoghurt, fruit but maybe I am in minority!

Close to Prince Street. You don't spend even 10 minutes walking. There is no elevators. 4 or 5th floors with long staird steps. Also there is no reception of the hotel. Check in, out and anything else you have to treat at the "bar" of the hotel.

La chambre Le booking est Excecrable. Malgré le fait d'avoir donner toutes les informations lors de la réservation par le net, il faut lors de l'arrivée, passer au check-in, un ecran sur lequel il faut à nouveau tout réinscrire et sur lequel il faut valider des chambres pour 2 adultes et 0 enfants en priant qu'il y ait bien 4 lits dans la chambre. De plus, le systè prétend accepter les cartes Mastercard mais il n'en es rien. L'arrivée en famille peut friser le cauchemar.

I enjoyed the hotel's position, the room was clean and the breakfast was good Unfortunately, the room is not supposed to be serviced every day unless customers specifically ask for it! Nobody gave me any info about that either when I booked or when I checked in and I think this is quite unfair for £80 a night hotel!
