Spacious clean rooms, good location, freindly staff

Soomro, United Kingdom

What a fantastic location. Half a block from trains and bus station. Right at the bottom of the hill leading up to the Royal Mile. It can't be any more central than this. Add a modern and clean building with friendly staff and you have a winner. Loved my stay.

Daniel, United States of America

Great location and very friendly staff. Clean and conmfortable.

Renu, United States of America

Location! Right in the middle of town, across the street from Waverly Station, and down the street from so many shops and restaurants. The room was small but all we needed. A clean bed and bathroom for a night in town.

Nina, United States of America

“Our trip to Edinburgh was great because we had such a great place to stay.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
there wasn't much space to leave belongings in the bedroom - I realise the style is minmalist but bedside space and the table were a bit small I felt especially if you were there for more than a couple of days.
The location was superb. Being so near the airport bus and the station and many of the famous sights in Edinburgh made it a really stress free break for us

There was a strong smell of possibly paint or some other chemical in my room and out in the corridor. It was only a 2 night stay so I didn't ask for room change but it wasn't pleasant and made relaxing in my room difficult. Really only used it to sleep in. Continental breakfast quite expensive. No hot breakfast served.
Position excellent. Royal Mile and airport bus on your doorstep. Very clean hotel. Nice bar to have a drink and relax in. Staff at reception very warm and welcoming.
