Good location and friendly staff . Room was clean
I was given room 12. It was noisy with the large air conditioner outside the window and bins being moved about. The breakfast was very basic

Nice modern room with bathroom, television and comfortable beds and pillows. Full English breakfast provided in the breakfast room. Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel was close to transportation options, pubs, restaurants and a short walk to many attractions.

Good location, clean hotel, friendly staff and everything was well maintained. Overall, a very pleasant stay.
The hotel was good overall, but considering the price I paid, I felt it offered slightly less value for money.

Great location for exploring Edinburgh, quiet even though it is located in a busier area. Close to train station, trams, buses. Shopping centre, restaurants and obviously the main attractions such as the royal mile, Edinburgh castle and Holyrood palace. Staff that we dealt with were lovely, Sohail and Lochlan (think I may have spelled names wrong-sorry!)

Perfect location, great for accessing the city. Really helpful, friendly staff. The room was great for 3 adults.
Could do with a few more plug sockets near the mirror .
