The location is absolutely fantastic – just a few minutes’ walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station and within easy walking distance of all the major attractions. It really doesn’t get more convenient than this for sightseeing. The reception team were very friendly and helpful, which made a great first impression. My room was very clean and, importantly, warm, which was much appreciated. After checking out, the staff were also kind enough to store my luggage, which was very helpful.
There are a few steps to reach the reception on the first floor, so this may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues. My room was on the 5th floor, and unfortunately I discovered the next morning that there was building work going on above my room. On top of that, the building next door was also under construction. The noise started early, which could be quite disruptive. I personally had an early schedule so it didn’t affect me too much, but I can imagine other guests would not be very happy being woken up by construction noise.

Pleasant
Clean cofortable room. Pleasant evening meal however, unbelievably, both first course and main course were brought to the table at the same time. I sent the main course back and it was replaced with a freshly cooked one later.
Typical buffet style breakfast. rather cold and somewhat tasteless. No fried egg option
