This hotel was handy as we were visiting the Play House and arriving at the bus station just across the road. The rate was reasonable for the room as it was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Was glad to have a hotel where we could fully open the windows however our room looked straight into... More

Stayed here with a friend. Twin room. Quite small and very stuffy. On a positive note, could open window for fresh air. Beds comfortable, room adequate for sleeping in. Close to everything. Staff good. Brekkie great. Good value for money.

Hotel is ideal for location, receptionist was friendly. Our room was small, hot and a bit of a let down. Poor tea and coffee facilities. Great shower, small bath, small double bed. Mini fridge poorly stocked but at least it wasn't noisy. Night Porter was very grumpy, the hotel locks its doors and there is no bell or anyway other... More

We booked this purely on reviews. Staff are knowledeable and friendly. Hotel in perfect location, close enough to city centre but off the beaten track so quiet. Our room (404) overlooked Calton Hill and we were woken on the first two nights at 2.30am by people being kicked out of the bar at the bottom of the hill. Shut the... More

This will be our first choice hotel when we return to Edinburgh. We stayed Friday - Monday morning. The staff were friendly and helpful, and made early bag drop an easy option (no sense of this being an inconvenience). The hotel has a cosy "lounge" feel to the reception area which as a first impression was very welcoming. The room... More

The location of this hotel is very good and very close to the town centre. Rooms are very small and very stuffy, tea making facilities are poor. Staff very unfriendly and unhelpful. A very over priced hotel the standard of the rooms and quality of service. We will not be back.

Excellent hotel - I stayed Saturday to Monday (25-27 May 2013) and ran my first marathon on the Sunday! The hotel is ideally situated for the starts of the Edinburgh Marathon (either of the two starting streets). The hotel was very accommodating with the time of breakfast, once they realised they had a hotel full of runners (!!), all needing... More

Great location, just out of the old town and near to Princes Street but parking is limited. Room was nice and bed, large and comfortable. Shower decent and nice range of toiletries provided. Decor OK. Could do with a lick of paint to freshen the rooms up. Bistro / Restaurant was quiet on a Thursday night but the service and... More

The good points are: Great location in the centre Close to good transport links Big comfortable beds. Bad points: Free wifi is advertised, that's if you can pick up the signal (room 401 had virtually nil) and it disconnects itself after a couple of minutes The rooms badly need updating Real lack of choice for the breakfast The staff in...
