This property was in a great location next to the park and main shopping and dining area. A little separated from the busier area, but still walking distance from everything. Check in was easy. Paid £16 for parking. Luckily, we didn’t have any issues finding a parking spot in their busy parking lot in front of their hotel. The room was clean and updated. Only complaint was that the faucet had two different nozzles; very hot or very cold water, nothing in between. Provided waters and traditional Scottish snacks in the room, which was nice. Espresso maker was a plus. Only complaint we had was that we had to take stairs from the elevator to get to our room, which was difficult with our very heavy bags. It was a strange Alice in Wonderland stairs situation. Other than that, it was a great stay!

The hotel itself is charming and well done and clean. The breakfast available is great. Our only complaint is there is no refrigerator or microwave in any rooms. It’s a good walk to the Royal Mile (a mile maybe) but it is not a difficult walk and we did it many times in the course of our 12 day trip.

The property location is great for exploring the city centre by foot or bus. The negative aspects were, for my room, bad plumbing such that we were offered another room, but the lack of soundproofing in the new room meant early morning traffic was very notable.

Poor performance!

Hotel was quite basic. Draughty window in the room, milk sachets out of date (including the replacement ones I got at reception.) Breakfast was not worth the money - much nicer cafés/bistros minutes walk away.
