Great location for our purposes. We were just passing through Edinburgh this time. Within easy walking distance from the Bus Station which we came into. Then, right next to the tram line for our trip to the airport. very handy. Our room was good - comfy bed and modern bathroom. Breakfast was adequate.

United States of AmericaLocation was great, walking distance to the airport tram, the bus station and downtown. Not very far from Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle and other attractions. It was nice having a hot breakfast every morning. Staff gave us a map and told us about local attractions
United States of Americastaff friendly, helpful, breakfast excellent, close to city center, walking distance but lots of walking, I thank Robert fixed my walker, one wheel fell off and helped, front desk staff very helpful, definitely will be back
United States of AmericaVery nice hotel in a good location. Walkable to train station. Good breakfast.
United States of AmericaThe staff were always very helpful, and told me that you can easily take the tram from the airport to St. Andrew's Square, which is a 5-minute walk approximately (even inexpensive return ticket is possible at airport). Location is also close to the bus terminal where I took a couple of Rabbie's tours to various cities. Glad that the accessible room had a pull cord and telephone in case I needed to telephone the reception for any reason. Lots of restaurants around the corner from which to choose. Convenient central location.
