Edinburgh Victoria St.
Great location, but difficult finding parking close to hotel. Car park at Castle Terrace was easy as long as you downloaded app.
Nice restaurants close by.

Fantastic stay, friendly and welcoming staff. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet despite being in the centre of a lot of the local attractions. Close to good food, sights and shopping. Perfect, would definitely stay again!

Location excellent, friendly staff, rooms ok. Limited space to store clothes. Fairly quiet. Recommend to book directly with the hotel. The breakfast included didn't follow through, 45£ extra a day for the three of us.

Nae Bad!
Amazing. Cozy quiet room in a five hundred some year old building at the bottom of the Diagon Alley street. Room is new- modern with great amenities. Nice bathroom, comfy bed. A rocket of an hot water kettle. Out the door and in the absolute midst of the Old town scene. Perfect place for walking about and return to the room for a break in between all of the things to see and do here. Three nights here and barely scratched the surface of museums, historic walks, gardens, side trips, foods, all the things! Can’t see a better place to stay if you’re coming to Edinburgh to see the sights. Solo low maintenance very active female traveler.

The room was small, but everything was very clean and the bed was very comfortable.
Personell was very friendly.

Unique in that it was cozy and its location in old town. Decoration and feel was nice. Whilst its an old building it was a bit of a rabbit warren. Loved that it was connected to the pub. Staff were friendly and helpful

This is a great place to stay in old town. The staff were very professional and friendly. It’s a great location but best not to have a car because there’s no place to park excellent public transportation.
