Great for a hen weekend

Location perfect for hen parties (although not full of hens, actually didn't see another one while there!) - perfectly located to nightlife and shopping!! Downside --- shower is not great, temp gauge not working very well... Cheap when compared to hotels on George Street despite being located at the top of the street (side entrance actually on George St). Stayed in another hotel (more expensive) previously and this one was much, much better :-)

Nightlife tip: Short walk from hotel

Just off George Street, ideal for high end shopping and watering holes and a short walk from Princes St so it's all on your door step! Taxi to Grassmarket cheap (less than £9 for a taxi of 5), although hard to get end of night - so WALK!

Great Location

Great location, lovely Hotel. The rooms were very clean. The only downfall with the hotel was the fact that there were Christmas parties on in the hotel on the saturday night and we could hear the music/disco. would be better to put guests not going to parties in rooms furthest away from functions rooms.

Great value, great location

We stayed in this hotel for almost a week during a trip to Ediburgh for a wedding. It was within walking distance of the sites we wanted to see and many restaurants. The room was spacious, the bed very comfortable, and the price was very reasonable. The only improvements I would suggest are brighter reading lamps on the bedside tables and drawers (not just a closet) for clothes. I would happily stay in this hotel again.

There is a McDonalds nearby - perfect if you're in the mood for a more casual (and cheaper) breakfast.

Perfect for weekend break

Central to all the sites in Edinburgh this hotel is perfect for a weekend break as no car is required. Staff were generally helpful and friendly. The room was a good size and very comfortable without the frills.

Quality

An exceptional experience on my first visit to Edinburgh in 40 years. I would unreservedly recommend to anyone who sets store by quality and attentiveness from the moment one steps out of the taxi.

Brilliant Hotel! Staff Very Helpful!

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, each night was perfect. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable, air con in the room was a added bonus. The staff were very helpful throughout our stay, especially when needing a late night pharmacy. Location was awesome with nearby bars and restaurants. The only little glitch was the temperature of the shower was very temperamental, although this may have only been our room. But overall we would recommend this hotel to anyone and will definitely stay there again!
