“Great location , very touristy , expected of course”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012 via mobile

Booked hotel , to be in the centre of town , and close to shops and eating houses. Definatley met the requirement , and was a good stay . Superior room , very nice , hotel clean . Spa although small , was good to visit . I know it is in the centre of Edinburgh and right for tourists , but some local staff , who know the area , would have been handy . The cost would prohibit me staying frequently , but as a treat it was nice

“Warm, contemporary, friendly, great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

If your after a hotel in an excellent location, close to the train station, and both the old and the new town your in for a treat. We stayed for 4 nights and had a fabulous nights sleep in our super comfy bed every single night. The room was great, a massive tv, huge bath, spacious shower and storage units and super clean. The friendly and helpful staff were always at hand. There is even a 'secret' underground passageway on the lower floors which provides a short cut to the rear of the train station saving time when your running to catch a train (very handy). There is also a spa and a gym (which we didnt get round to using). We did use the hotels Elliotts restaurant, it was yummy!! A little pricey but the steak was most definately worth it. I could not fault this hotel and I would definately use it again:)

“Excellent!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

Me & my partner stayed for one night in this lovely hotel, we got a free upgrade to a superior double room which was lovely! Really comfortable king size bed, 47 inch flat screen tv with freeview, choice of rental dvds (free of charge - just leave a deposit) We were asked if we wanted a room wtih a shower, bath or both (we went for both!) lovely bath & massive walk-in shower, robes & elemis toiletries!
The room was equipped with a hairdryer, kettle & goodies on the tray!!
On the morning of departure we enjoyed the spa area, with use of the pool & steam room - which was lovely, towels included so you don't need to take them from your room.
Would definately stay again, well worth the standard price. Staff lovely & helpful, and looked after our bags until 5pm until we got our train home. Location excellent as just behind the station!

“Thanks for hospitality.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

Great hotel in the city centre. 10 minutes walk to the sights, shops and old town. Room was large, clean, very comfortable and modern.There are staff, wich speak into Russian language. It was very pleasant and helped us very much. Very good choice of dishes in the restaurant. We had good rest.

Room Tip: Rooms on the south side are quieter

“Fantastic Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

person found this review helpful

Great city centre hotel, Lovely spacious clean bright room with everything you could want in it. Excellent bathroom, very clean with huge bath and amazing shower. The staff are fantastic, could not be more helpful. From dietary requirements to extra milk to newspapers to luggage storage absolutely nothing was a problem to them. Lovely modern interior, but still friendly not clinical like some can be. One minute walk to Princes Street, or The Royal Mile.
Will be certain to stop here again and recommend to others. No complaints what so ever.
