as long as you are aware that this hotel is not right in the centre it is excellent value and not a difficult walk away. more

The rooms are clean and adequate, breakfast buffet is good and plentiful, staff friendly and efficient, location fairly convenient. My 2 complaints: the staff wasn't knowledgeable about local events, but a much bigger issue was the noise from the street on the weekend nights--the closed window did nothing to block out the racket from the traffic and pedestrians talking and... more

Stayed for two nights.Clean,easy to find,5 mins from the Usher Hall (where I was going) and about 15 mins from Princes Street (walking,do NOT take your car to Edinburgh..you have been warned!).Room was small but everything was there and was nicely heated on a very cold weekend.Breakfast plentiful and while nothing special was perfectly OK.As long as you remember that... more

It took me 40 minutes to climb up the hill to reach there. In fact, the hotel is near Haymarket railway station, just 5 minutes walk. You... more

We stayed in a triple room for 3 nights in May. The hotel was clean and comfortable but don't be expecting a lot of extra facilities. However, when you're in Edinburgh there's plenty to see and do so we were only looking for a bed to sleep. Breakfast was good with plenty of food, and regularly topped up. It only... more
