The hotel is situated right in the heart of the Old Town, overlooking the Grassmarket Square with many cafés and restaurants. The Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, the University Campus, and the Holyrood Park are all only a short walk away. The hotel offers parking in the back yard which is very convenient when travelling by car. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

Very kind, very friendly, offered my daughter a complementary breakfast, the room is clean and comfy.

Great staff. Everyone could not do enough for you especially with the covid virus regulations. Had my grandaughter who was four and they were all so nice to her. Lovely pool. Only suggestion was if they could leave one seat around the pool as had to stand for one hour just to make sure my wee grandaughter was ok in the pool with her papa. Found it very difficult standing for an hour as I have back troubles.

The location to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile are perfect! We had a castle view from our room I included. It’s close enough without being in the hustle and bustle of it. It has fun restaurants located in front and a fun market on the weekends. The breakfast was delicious and a perfect way to start each day.

The Staff were very attentive. The room was clean. The en-suite was superb, with a deep bath and huge shower.

Breakfast was a good variety of choice and well presented. Staff we very helpful.

The location of the hotel is perfect, in the centre of the Old Town with lots of shops, bars and restaurants opposite the hotel. The hotel is clean, great and helpful staff, who are friendly and do help to make your stay a pleasant one. I cant recommend this hotel enough, I will certainly return

The location was great, within easy reach of the castle, Royal Mile and other attractions. Room had view of castle. Located next to Grassmarket, with nice shops and restaurants (may be busy at night at weekend). Hotel had pool, which was good to come back to after day in Edinburgh. Breakfast was included in deal and was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room good for family with two double beds. Perfect for a family night away in this lovely city.

Location was great, near enough to the train station and lovely little bars and cafes opposite the hotel. Hotel offers good value for money. Bonus was overlooking the castle.

Great location, parking on site and a good breakfast!
