to get started.

Nice clean hotel in centre of city. Close to shops bars and restaurants. I will be staying there again for fourth time next year.

Ian, United Kingdom

The hotel was in a great location, and it was spacious, clean and very good value for money. The room i shared with my parents was a big triple room that was plenty for us with a good size bathroom. The matresses were comfortable and there were amenities such as an ironing board and extra blankets in a closet.

Maggie, United Kingdom

Perfect location. Nice, cozy room (not tiny), clean - simple, but good (not poor). Great place if you’re about to explore the city. Will definitely come back next time. Lots of restaurants around, right next to the Gardens (Princess Street), Tram station is just right there. Absolutely recommended

Stephen, Australia

Central yet couldn't hear any traffic noise. Very effective heating. Good quality breakfast with a local restaurant 'Rabble' other breakfast outlets are available and were also good. All central locations easily accessible on foot from the Hotel. Excellent bus service by Lothian to anywhere else in Edinburgh.

“Great value for money right off the centre of town!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Triple Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
The decor was a bit dated, with some of the wallpaper peeling and a feeling of needing a refurbishment. This was the general tone. Everything that could be replaced (towels, bathroom supplies etc) was very nice and high quality, but the room really needs some improvements especially on the windows, as you can hear all the noise from the street.

Didn't really like the location of the room as there was no view to speak of other than it was facing the wall and piping work of another building across from the window which resulted in the the room being somewhat dark when the lights are switched off, so not much natural light available. Also the lift on the 2nd floor not working so this was inconvenient for me as I have some knee problems when climbing stairs.
I liked the location of the property. The room was warm and comfy and everything in the room was in good working order.
