Louis, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

As I was travelling solo I was allocated a room on the lower level and the only source of light and ventilation was via the sky light, not an issue until bed time as you could not block out any light. The mattress was also of a poor quality. The staff were very friendly and location was good. Would I choose to stay here again, sadly no.
Sonia, 2-night trip

Good value of money to stay in a lovely city

Excellent location and WiFi access. We are on the top floor which was quite warm, No air condition but a fan is provided. We found a tiny spider on the pillow, but overall are good and clean. No complaint :-)

Friendly staff, pretty space and good view. Wish there had been a fridge and quieter doors; the stairwell got quite loud with fellow guests coming and going.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Hotel good for a reasonably priced stay. On a busy road though, with trams and buses going by, so try to get room away from the front of the Hotel.

Style. Helpfulness. Class. Closeness to amenities
Jeremy, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Great, maybe a little less accessible which wasn't a problem for me, it seemed like the hotel has air-conditioning for only half the rooms, which I thought was odd.
Jensen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly and helpful staff. Close to old town. Nice little shops and cafes close by. Room was nice but you can hear your neighbours. Not very soundproof.
Anne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Room was amazing and location was close to everything.
Kelly, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great staff!

We had a great stay. The staff was excellent and even helped with our bags!
Janet, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location in the center of Edinburgh, ver convenient. Rooms were nice, comfortable and the one towards the back had a great view on the sea. NB: there is no escalator and the floors are high. Only issue — but quite serious one — both our rooms on the last floor had issues with the shower, greeting barely any hot water. Would recommend — but only if the shower issue gets fixed.
Guillaume, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nicely appointed and staff were excellent. Lots of easy close shopping and dining.
