Hotel is in an ideal location for navigating through Edinburgh. Front staff was friendly and allowed us to have an early check in.
No air condition in the room which was very warm. I opened the windows due to this, but there were no screens so many flies/gnats came in the room.

Very good location, very close to the royal mile! The rooms were comfortable and the staff very friendly and helpful. If you get there early you can leave your luggage too which was super helpful after an early flight.
Some water in the rooms would be appreciated. Other than that everything was perfect.

Near the train station. Central to city centre. Room was clean and tidy
The bed and pillows were a bit uncomfortable. The shower temperature kept changing while showering.

Location & chic
A bit expensive. Room facing the railway is noisy. Should have a bigger table in room for placing personal belongings.

The location was absolutely perfect! Convenient to both transportation and city center. The middle of the Royal Mile was right at the top of the hill.
Frankly nothing,

Location is 10/10; plus you are into the Royal mile within 5 mins walking distance. Multiple excellent bars and restaurants close by; plus the Motel One bars never disappoint.
We got a top floor room and days were quite hot, so the room was super hot and the air conditioning didn’t work, and they didn’t manage to fix it despite we reporting it two times
