Breakfast was Ok, wish there were more fresh green options such as carrots, cucumbers, salads, and fresh fruits ( not canned ones). Location OK as public transport was accessible. Walking to the tourist area took a little more time.

It was clean, updated and in an amazing location, the room and bathroom and shower were very spacious, the bed was nice and comfortable and there was a nice desk/getting ready area. The breakfast buffet was so good and worth the add on. They also cook their scrambled eggs exactly how I like them and the view from the breakfast room was a cemetery (which I love). It was also affordable on top of that. The room was pretty warm as most are in Europe but the windows opened and we were able to make it cooler easily.

We packed in the Whiskey Experience, a Harry Potter tour and the Castle, with the royal mile along the way, on our one full day in the city. The expensive hotel accommodations are the biggest downside to Edinburgh, which is ancient and fascinating with many restaurants of various price points and cuisines. We found the taxis to be affordable and convenient and loved walking around the area of the Royal Mile. We were there while it was gloriously sunny, but chilly rain is apparently very common, so pack accordingly.

After travelling the world, Edinburgh remains one of my favourite cities. Especially during a sunny summer's day (few and far between!) it has a vibe all of its own. The buildings are beautiful and the green inner city spaces add an extra layer of enjoyment. So many things to see and do. It boasts many great restaurants and as a vegan, I had no problems finding something suitable and delicious.
And if you like unusual, exceptionally nice coffee, check out this small boutique cafe that roasts its own bean. The cafe is at 4 Spittal St, Edinburgh in the city. You can even see the castle from there if you stretch your neck. If you go there, say Nicki sent you ;)
Have fun in Edinburgh !

Pre book the castle, we walked up only to find it was sold out for the day!
Found out later that the tram goes all the way to the royal Yacht wish we'd got on there instead of the hop on hop off bus
Whiskey experience, amazing

Edinburgh is such a great city to visit.
Edinburgh is such a great city to visit. It's easy to get around via walking and many other modes of transport. It's a great home base for taking small bus tours into the highlands and island areas of Scotland. The Old Town can get very busy but there are many exciting shops and places to explore.

I fell in love with Edinburgh last year on a 10-day journey.
I fell in love with Edinburgh last year on a 10-day journey. The architecture is stunning, and nature seems to ease its way into the city. Visit the Old Town and the castle, enjoy the views from there, and make your way to the Grassmarket area. If you are lucky, you will find a little event there with amazing food. Don't forget about St. Giles' Cathedral, a true piece of local history. Walk along the Royal Mile, Victoria Street, Cockburn Street, but don't forget about the charming Circus Lane, Dean Village and Water of Leith, if you have the time. Edinburgh is more than a city break destination, you can loose yourself onto its streets, parks and hills. And pubs :).

Fantastic city.
Fantastic city. Have visited many times and each time manage to do things we haven’t done before. There is so much to see and do here. The Royal mile oozes with character and history. The museums are great. Visited Holyrood Palace and have previously seen the botanical gardens, the royal yacht, the real Mary Kings Close, The Whiskey experience, the castle, and so much more. It’s such a wonderful city. We never tire of it!
You have to check in at the pub, which is only around the corner from the hotel. Absolutely loved the staff! They were ever so accommodating, especially with complimentary drinks at arrival. Loved the location with it being a good walk to Edinburgh City Centre - where there was a plethora of independent cafes and bakeries selling all sorts of goodies.
When you're done exploring Edinburgh, then the bed doesn't go amiss, along with the en suite facility.
To reiterate, a great family owned establishment at a great location.
The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, not too far from Edinburgh city centre, we took a taxi into the city one day and it cost just over £20. The staff were very friendly, the room was clean and the shower was great. We didn’t use the facilities since we were out but they have a wide range of things to do, and the pool is open late. The bar staff were very friendly, and introduced me to my new favourite cocktail!
Clean, well organised hotel with great staff on the edge of Edinburgh. Nowhere in the city is cheap but it is still a good spot if you can get decent price for the rooms. The tram into the city centre is only a couple of minutes walk away. Few places to eat nearby. Nice pool, decent breakfast and all you would expect from a good hotel chain.
Excellent location noy to far from city centre very clean hotel staff were really helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for you room was fantastic would definitely book this hotel again if I was doing another overnight stay in Edinburgh been in a few hotels in Edinburgh and this was one of the best
The room was absolutely amazing. Perfect for a stay in Edinburgh. It was a beautiful hotel in a great location. Quiet but close for walks and to the city centre.
