Very Good
Excellent location. 15 min walk from Royal mile. 8 min walk from train station. Close to car rent companies. There is tram stop opposite the hotel, from which you can go to the airport. Responsive staff. Comfortable, clean, wide room.
There are no fresh vegetables for breakfast.

Poor
Very poor access for families with young children ie with a buggy.

Poor
The bed is very comfortable.
The floor is made of wood, and you can hear every step of anyone walking in the hotel, which makes a lot of noise and disturbs sleep. The breakfast is not good at all and is mainly suited for local guests. The breakfast needs to be improved.

Excellent location and very accommodating staff. Very easy access to the airport via tram, and there were no issues with late check-in. Our room was partially below ground level, but quiet.
The price compared to value was high, but we did book during the Fringe festival, so that applies to the whole of Edinburgh. Breakfast could use some fresh veggies.

Location was perfect, close to everything. The building was great and the rooms were spacious enough.
The only issue was the shower. It was an open shower without glass and the shower curtain was too short, so the shower would get flooded each time we used it. We had to use towels to dry it up after each shower becuase it was slipery and this was a room for disabled people and it was dangerous to non-disabled guests. I reported this to the staff upon my departure.

Disappointing
Great location, friendly staff, and right off of the EDI tram line. Very close to everything.
The hotel is a bit dated and in need of a refresh. The comforters were old and worn, there were water stains in the ceiling tiles, and the walls were quite beat up. It was quite expensive for the value.

The room was clean, very comfortable beds/pillows. Breakfast good, staff extremely helpful - ordered a taxi for us to the station, gave us a takeaway cup to take a coffee with us as the taxi was booked.

1. Air conditioned.
2. Clean and comfortable rooms.
3. Inclusive breakfast.
4. Coffee machines with cups to go.
5. Friendly and helpful staff.
6. A luggage storage room you can use after check-out.
7. Amazing location:
- opposite Picardy Place tram stop. Easy access to airport and Murrayfield stadium.
- Within walking distance to attractions like Frankenstein’s Bar and Greyfriar’s Bobby/Cemetery.
It was a bit expensive. But the price likely surged due to the Fringe Festival. Having said that, still worth it for the experience.

Very Good
Breakfast was Good
Price for 2 Nights @ £745 Not Good Just because Edinburgh had Tattoo & Fringe Festival
Should Not be a reason for increase in Room Rate
Fair Price for Hotel which should not fluctuate because of events within the City
