Great location in the heart of Edinburgh. Room was clean and tidy. The hotel lobby was also clean and calm. Staff at reception were very helpful and professional. They allowed us to leave our luggage after checking out for a few hours whilst we went to see some other sights in Edinburgh. Would happily stay here again.
