Great location, the hotel has been totally renovated and has very spacious and will appointed rooms. Staff was very friendly. It is a new hotel so they are still working on improvements to service. Tram to the city and airport is a two minute walk. Ten minute walk to the royal mile. Plenty of Cafe and pubs near by. Next time in Edinburgh we will definitely stay here.

Stay away

One of the worst hotels I’ve stayed in ever. First of all, my room was smelling of paint, I couldn’t open the window. I asked to be moved and they moved me to a different room. The staff was aware of the smell, so I wonder why I wasn’t given that room from the beginning. I asked to clean the room and bring me some water, and that wasn’t organized. Only the bed was made. And finally on my last night a fire alarm went off at 1:30 in the morning because one of the clients smoked in their room. When I was going down barefoot in my pyjamas, one of the hotel managers ran past me without notifying me that I can safely return to my room and not wait outside. Horrible treatment!

Great old property. Our room had 12ft ceilings and was large and comfortable. Just far enough from Old Town to get away from main crowds. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. There’s a private on-site restaurant that was incredible for breakfast! All the sites are in walking distance. They were in the process of doing a remodel (late September) which is looking great. Otherwise they would’ve gotten 5 stars. Staff was available and attentive. I just reserve the 5 for the above and beyond stuff.

Lovely weekend in Edinburgh!

The hotel is in a good location within walking distance of Princes Street. It is well decorated, clean and the staff are very helpful. Although a bar is advertised, this is not in service.

Very good location and ideal for getting into town. However there was a bug on the bed which put us off, then found one of the pillows had loads of stains on. Our room was right next to public toilets in the hotel which means you can hear the doors and flushes. The shower did not feel private as there was no blinds in the bathroom and the shower was opposite other buildings. You could also hear staff and guests talking and coming up and down the stairs all night.

Centrally located. Close to both bus and train station. Most Edfringe venues are within a 20min walk. Staff kindly facilitated a move to the sister hotel The Albany as there was a noise issue in the booked room. The staff at the albany were great and many thanks to the gentleman who helped with the move. Would def recommend.
