We were going to a concert at La Belle Angele, just across the road. I booked it as a budget, nearby hotel, worked out so much better. Great, very quiet room, fab breakfast (included).
No problems at all

I liked the overall location very handy for the royal mile and shops and bars. The hotel was very modern and staff were very friendly.
Can't think of anything apart from the location of the hotel saying it was on the royal mile but 5 mins walk from there. Apart from that spot on.

The hotel's location was good. The room was large enough. The reception staff was attentive.
The room and bathroom were old. The breakfast was really poor.

Everything is great, good value. The staff is smiley and helpful. They informed us about hotel, edinburgh and touristic activities around. Breakfast is okey. They have a locker room to leave the luggages. Room is really clean and large. If i go to Edinburgh again, i will definitely choose to stay. :)

Very Good
The staff were really lovely – friendly, helpful, and quick to assist whenever we needed something. The hotel was very clean, and the location is fantastic. It’s also quiet and calm, which we really appreciated.
However, the beds were extremely hard, which made it quite uncomfortable to sleep. We had to ask for extra blankets to put on top just to soften them a bit. Thankfully, the staff handled that very kindly and promptly.
The breakfast was honestly quite disappointing. There were no basic items like cheese, cold cuts, or any fresh bread – only dry toast. It really felt below the usual standard for a hotel of this level.
