This proved an ideal base for our family to have an Edinburgh experience in excellent comfort. Friendly staff made us very welcome. Only annoyance was an eccentric bathroom with a shower that part-flooded the... More

Great place for easy acess to Edinburgh city centre by bus or walk in 30 minutes. Continental breakfast was good. Only critisism was the shower was unable to maintain a stable temperature, scalding to cold randomly. Room was comfortable.

Lovely, spacious hotel with a nice big bed. The breakfast was nice and the staff were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. The only down side were the stairs, carrying a large suitcase wasn't very practical, but I mainly blame my girlfriend for taking too much ;-)
