Staff was friendly and helpful. Location met my traveling needs. There were ample areas to sit and relax in the lobby, with bar service. The room was a good size and comfortable. I appreciated having a tea and coffee service tray in the room.

Located at the bottom of the cobbled streets of Old Town, with a view of a lovely garden and quick access to the train station. The room was on the smaller side but clean and comfortable to support our first nights in Scotland. The staff were friendly and helpful and while busy (I believe they may have been fully booked), never felt rushed or short of time. The ground floor of the hotel is laid out to provide room for a glass of wine with a book, with friends, a breakfast meeting, or simply a quiet place to ease jet lag along. The location couldn't have been better for us as we arrived by train and wanted to let our feet transport us all around Edinburgh. We were near Princes Street Gardens which gave us a very nice way to walk to destinations, and the Royal Mile also began right outside the hotel door. We were in proximity to many good restaurants, both traditional and trendy, and any other amenities we might need.

We stayed at the Market Street location. It was a perfect stay. Great location, helpful staff, nice breakfast. This small hotel had wonderful atmosphere especially in the evening sitting in the lobby for a before dinner or after dinner cocktail. Very close to the train station the Royal Mile and large variety of restaurants. Highly recommend.

the location are close to everything walking distance to the castle and market

the staff was awesome! very helpful and friendly! one of the staff stopped in the middle of something to help us move our bags.

This hotel is a good value, excellent location right on Cockburn near Waverly Station. We had a nice large, clean, modern room, well appointed. The staff was friendly and helpful and the lobby/bar was very comfortable.

Beautiful hotel, centrally located to everything. Very nice lounge and breakfast.

it would be hard to beat this location in Edinburgh. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Room was comfortable and fairly roomy by European standards. Amenities in the room were good.

Our room was very nice and spacious. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was large and well equipped. The location is amazing. We walked from the train station a few blocks to the hotel and then you are just a few blocks off the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle is just up the hill. They have a very large breakfast buffet that we didn't choose, but it did look like there were lots of options.

The hotel is centrally located; really close to Edinburgh Waverly Station, the Mound, Princess Gardens, etc. Friendly, helpful staff. Quite comfy room.
