The staff at the desk were very welcoming, helpful and kind. Our room was well sized and in a good location, we also appreciated the help with parking. Will definitely be staying here again when we come back.

Close to major attractions
Small and not lit rooms. They didnt make the bed-dust it but just made it. No vacuuming.

Very close to all attractions
They didn’t clean the room every day. Or dust the bed before making it. The second bed was a sofa pulled out as bed very uncomfortable.

Very nice and enthusiastic staff.
Cleanliness of the room wasn’t what i expected. The room was tidy but looked more like the clean up crew went past everything with one towel and that’s it. Bought our own bleach to clean otherwise it was impossible.

Good location, near old town and near to train station. Good breakfast.
I asked for a calm room, they gave us a connecting room with a kid in it. we could barely sleep due to baby crying all night and waking up super early. it was terrible experience.

Central location. Great breakfast. Clean.
First night on ground floor where window looked out to people feet. Had to keep curtains drawn. Also Double room dimensions on first floor smaller than shown on booking site.
2nd and third night much better when moved to fourth floor.

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. :)
