We had a wonderful stay. The area around the hotel couldn’t be more convenient, when you walk outside you’re right by so many beautiful sights like the Princes Street gardens & Ross fountain, Scott monument, as well as the National Galleries and Calton Hill. There’s tons of shopping on Princes St and the surrounding area, as well as restaurants and cafes, and a few grocery stores. The tram is only a few minutes walk if needed - it was super convenient to take the tram to and from the airport since it was so close, and Edinburgh Waverly is right by the hotel which is convenient for anyone vacationing and travelling via train. Everything else is only a short walk away, and it’s a walk you’ll enjoy since the sights are so beautiful. Even with being so close to so many things, it was quiet inside at night time and we got a great sleep. The only downside for us was not having a minifridge in the room, would love if that was added! We got amazing service from the employees while we were there who also arranged an early check in for us which we really appreciated.

Great location and value

Very cool décor and great breakfast space. Super conveniently located to both Old Town and New Town. Close to public transit – especially airport tram and bus connections. Close walk to all of the main sights. Rooms were small but quiet with surprisingly thick doors. Breakfast spread was really nice – lots of options. Very clean and like new conditions. Good value for the cost.

Friendly staff and very clean. Is well located next to necessary amenities and things to see. Very lovely location. Only complaint is that there is no fridge in the rooms. Would have at least loved a ice dispenser on the floors to accommodate that.

Staff were so friendly and helpful, location was amazing. Room was very basic (though nicely finished), and there were renovations going on so the floor seemed like a bit of a building site at times. Seemed very expensive for what it was - but I guess that’s Edinburgh in July for you.

It toom 3 rooms before they put us in a room with everything in working order. There is no air conditioning in the hotel, only "air circulation" that does absolutely nothing. The rooms were very warm and no way to cool them off. We were told it was due to a "heat wave", but it was only like 58 degrees fahrenheit. We had a corner room, and it is a very noisy corner with street traffic, sirens, and drunks singing at 3am.

Great location but room stuffy and hot

Excellent location, nice staff. Allowed early check in at 1 pm, then held luggage at desk on day of departure. Room was small & stuffy, AC and small fan did not cool. Window tilted open only a few inches and looked out to other rooms requiring curtain to be drawn No ventilation fan in bathroom. Construction going on. For $250/night hoped for more.
