Breakfast was really good! It had a good assortment of cold cuts, breads and spreads, croissants, as well as fruits, yoghurt and cereal. On top, you could order (incl. in the price!) eggs (poached, fried, scrambled, boiled...), sausages, bacon, mushrooms etc. Either together as English/Scottish breakfast or just the parts that you like. Staff was super nice as well! All in all a very good experience!

The room in the fourth floor (409) was huge and had a very big bathroom. The breakfast was excellent with a very big choice from the buffet as well as for the cooked breakfast. Only a ten minutes walk away from the Royal Mile.

Anita, Switzerland

Perfect location. Very pleasant and helpful receptionist. Nice and clean room - totally same as on the picture. Very good breakfast.

Eva, Czech Republic

Very comfortable beds, lovely modern shower, delicious freshly prepared breakfast and excellent central location. We were also able to check in early as our train got in before check in officially started. We were also able to leave bags somewhere after check out so we could do things before our journey home.

Bed was good. Staff very helpful. Hearty breakfast

Peter, New Zealand

What you see is what you get at this hotel. It's a great place to stay for a night or two (max), as the rooms are quite small. Comfortable bed and great shower. The best part was its proximity to town.

Mikael, Sweden

New clean rooms, very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast.

Reception was very informative. Anna was so helpful and lovely! The hotel is very central and within walking distance of town, which is brilliant considering town is very hilly! The room was clean and the shower excellent. The breakfast was wonderful, well cooked and local ingredients. There is no parking but there is a reciprocal arrangement with the local NCP car park making any 24 hour stay half price. We would stay again!

“Loud and hot”

The room was stifiling hot, even with the heat turned off and leaving the window open as far as possible. With the courtyard noise from the open window and the constant slamming of doors in the hallway, sleep was difficult even with earplugs.
The shower had good water pressure.

It got quite warm in the rooms at night, even when the window was open. Some people may also find that having to go out of one building and into another to reach the breakfast area would be a hassle. However, it didn't really bother us.

The room is extremely small (does not fit for two persons). No elevator is provided and I had to carry two heavy luggages to the third floor by stairs. No AC, it was extremely warm as the provided window is too small. It was too noisy as cargo company was working all the night next to the hotel (sound of metal boxes moving). The hotel has separate buildings so the reception was in a different place of the accommodation place.
It’s in the central vivid part of the city, we didn’t take any transportation as it was close to everything thing, all attractions and 10 minutes to the train station.
