The staff were very friendly, helpful and I loved my stay I couldn't have wished to have met nicer people. I will visit here again. A big shout out this time to Angelica, Danilo, Yanas and the rest of the lovely staff. Thank you so much.

Location and the food
The room had a bad smell like wet dog and the carpet was awful . The vent above the door was thick with dust . This was reported and someone came to clean the dust away but was told … sorry about the room .

Super friendly reception staff. The hotel is centrally located just a 5 min walk from most things. The breakfast is good quality with choices for most tastes.
Our room (106) was located directly opposite the outdoor power supply and systems, so there was a constant buzzing/mechanical noise all night, which was still quite loud with the window closed. The pillows on the bed had seen better days, as they were lumpy and hard. Whilst I appreciate the effort towards sustainability, the bathroom amenities were quite basic (just hair wash and body wash, no body lotion, cotton buds etc)

Location was great, breakfast was good, bedding was spotless, rooms furniture was dated but clean.
I didn’t like that the rugs looked old and dirty.

Excellent location. Love the hot breakfast. Staff were so helpful and friendly (10/10) good size room and facilities
Needs a bigger sign on hotel front to stand out. Was difficult to see the hotel sign. Be proud of the hotel and put a big sign to stand out

Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice with jugs and platters being refilled timeously. Staff on hand to help with any queries - how to work toaster or coffee machine eg
Only small problem was few bits of mould in corners of shower. As far as breakfast concerned maybe some haggis or black pudding and potato scones. Purely because in centre of Edinburgh although personally I was perfectly happy with choice
