I stayed for one night in April a couple of years ago and it was really easy to find from the main station (Waverley). It's just at the other end of Prince's street onto the road that is practically straight ahead and is probably one of the better hotels I ever stayed in when coming to Edinburgh around that time. The breakfast the next day I remember was very good, nice food and if you don't know Edinburgh well is an easy place to stay as you have the main street infront of you with all of the bus services about. The hotel itself was very pleasant, there is a really warm and comfortable feel to the lounge where all guests can go to and there is (or at the time, was) sky tv and a bar (i can't remember whether it was pricey but remember enjoying my drink). It isn't a fancy hotel, however if you're coming for a reasonably priced stay for a night or two (we booked last minute and got a cheaper price however, so i'm not sure if it is usually much more than we paid) then it is very pleasant to stay here. Especially convenient if you're travelling by train and plan to walk/use buses.

I stayed here for one night in January 2008 and can't fault it. Check in no probs, same as check out, they allowed us to store our bags in a safe place until we left. The rooms were clean and comfortable. And the breakfast in the morning was absolutely beautiful. Nothing to fault at all. And its right opposite the bus stop the take you to and from the airport and literally 2 mins from Princes Street, would def stay there again without a doubt.

This hotel was pretty anonymous, fine for a few days sightseeing but absolutely zero wow factor. If all you want is a place to rest your head and forget about while you explore Edinburgh it's fine. But if you want a place to look forward to supplying atmosphere of an evening you'll have to go somewhere somewhat more expensive. But for location this one's certainly hard to beat, you're right next to Princes Street. Parking might be a problem unless you've plenty of dosh for a meter. Still, there are multi story car parks nearby. They're pricy too mind you.

Stayed for work- it were good value for the price- room was clean thougha bit small. near to pubs and all.
