The hotel is in an ideal location for attractions. The hotel was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly.
The room temperature was too warm.

Great location, very friendly staff, rooms were very comfortable and clean.
My only complaint would be that I’d paid to add some balloons and banners to the room for my friends birthday and these were missed.

Great selection for breakfast - both cooked and continental Location was very central - easy for the old town, castle, shopping, Edinburgh Playhouse, bus stop for city tours and train station Room was quiet for a city centre hotel - number 617 Luggage storage facility available as we arrived before our room was ready, and the receptionist Yitting, was superb upon arrival. Managers , please note this. Exceptional stay and would return.
