Great hotel in a perfect location for exploring Edinburgh. Right by a tram stop so easy to get to from the airport, also close to the train station. Lots of shops nearby and great restaurant options. Our room was huge, bed comfy, staff friendly. Would recommend for a long weekend in Edinburgh

Very welcoming and helpful staff. Comfortable and clean room, although several stairs to negotiate (up to 3 floor and no lift.) We requested a room with least no. of stairs and they were very accommodating. Great breakfast (extra cost). Within 5 minutes walk of several excellent restaurants and large shopping mall.

Beautiful Georgian building that has received LIMITED updates, too limited for what they charge. I was put in a top floor room, 4 flights of steep stairs and no elevator. The room sat directly under the roof and with the window closed (and the cleaning staff always closed it) and no AC the room would be very hot and stuffy by the end of the day and would not fully cool down until the wee hours of the morning; and this was in September so one can imagine the heat in summer. Also, with the windows open sounds of the traffic and street cars down below Kept me awake. The hot water was tepid, with very low water pressure, not much more than a trickle, and the bed killed my back. Not what one would expect at this price point.
