A 2 minutes walk from Waverley train station with excellent public transport links at the doorstep. Quick & smooth check-in and all the team members are 5 star! Especially Lewis & Daliya. Also - the internet/wifi was the best I have experienced in any hotel.

Best location. Staff welcoming and very helpful in all areas. Could do with a bit of a refurb. Some areas are a bit tired. Breakfast was great, full Scottish. Had dinner one night which was lovely. Prices in restaurant reasonable except even if you just have a drink, a service charge is added which was a bit annoying. Bathroom in our room was a bit claustrophobic and the glass shower door needed to be wider as a bit useless. Floor was always completely soaked by the time you finished. Great aircon. Overall a good experience but needs a bit of attention in some areas, and price point is a bit high for what it is.

A 3-night stay away from London. Hotel in superb location for entertainment and shopping. however, it was a little noisy but not diminishing the overall satisfaction of the mini-break. Room a little warm with premises not advertised with AC, later advised to us upon check-out.

Hotel gives you everything you need

Really pleased with the hotel. Great communication pre arrival. Staff on reception were very helpful, we had 3 rooms and they put us all next to each other. We had the standard queen room the bed were very comfortable and clean, good shower too. Nice bathroom products. The breakfast was excellent great hot variety, haggis and additional bits were really tasty. Hotel location brilliant, very central for all the Edinburgh sites, shops, buses. Hotel was value for money, overall it added to our great weekend.
