Beautiful king room with a great view. Out of the crowds while being only a short walk away from the Royal Mile. Beautiful views from Carlton Hill reight behind the hotel and a very short walk to hike and scramble up to the to of Arthur’s Seat. Our only suggestion would be that the room be cleaned a little better. There was quite a bit of filth on and under the glass cover on the desk. We will book here again!

From the minute we entered the hotel, we were met with friendly, kind and approachable staff (who were actually able to let us into our room early). We had a great room, with fantastic facilities and a comfortable bed. The restaurant and outdoor area were well designed and we made use of, with a glass of wine, because the weather was so good during our stay. I didn’t make it to the gym, but it looked like it was good, if I had. Also, fantastic breakfast. We just wish we could have stayed longer!

Very nice spot and out of the hustle of the old city. Walking was fine if you are in shape. It was a good workout. Very kind staff. Room was nice with a lovely view. Hot water in the bath was a little tricky. Beds were on the hard side if that is what you want.

Had a wonderful stay. Amazing buffet breakfast. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. About a 10 minute walk into town and the tram stop is just around the corner for getting to and from the airport. Would definitely stay again and recommend to other people.
