Room was clean and kept clean with daily housekeeping. The Breakfast was sumptuous with a good variety menu. Hotel location is perfect for the city sights making most walkable distance. The hotel offers umbrellas to rent @£2.00 per 48 hrs knowing Scottish weather.

It was an amazing start!
Atoussa, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

Excellent food, plenty of options. My biggest complaint is not having someone at the reception desk who doesn’t have a strong accent. I needed help with a taxi and over the phone I couldn’t understand them and I felt very stranded in a big city
Margaret, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice room and location! It will be perfect when the lobby renovation is done.
Mike, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location, friendly staff, clean and modern.
Charles, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Good hotel located on a university campus. However, there is construction at the hotel and on the nearby road, so it can be noisy during the day. There’s no on site restaurant, and breakfast is a simple grab and go option.

Stephanie, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice hotel. Unfortunately, an unknown when I booked the room, the hotel is renovating and there is construction going on around the hotel. Several things were not open like the restaurant and gym. A bit noisy. Inconvenient to meet Ubers and taxi due to road work. But overall a nice stay.
Cheryl, 2-night trip

Central, yet quiet. Hotel itself is dated

8/10 Good

The hotel is located close to some key sightseeing like the Greyfriars Bobby and kirkyard as well as shops and restaurants. It's right across from a University of Edinburgh campus and there's a Starbucks and a Sainsbury's about a block away. Breakfast items are the same every day, but there are ample options to choose from and the coffee machines are available 24/7 as is the laundry room. They even have cold cuts and a variety of breads to make to-go sandwiches for the day or to save some for an afternoon snack. The room had a mini fridge, a microwave oven, and a dishwasher. We were busy sightseeing, but we were able to have a few dinners in and save some money. There were items from previous guests left under the pull out couch, so the room didn't seem thoroughly clean, but when we brough it to their attention, they took care of it right away. The mattresses had pads that looked lumpy, but the beds were comfortable. Overall, while some things things could be improved, the casual environment made our stay comfortable. We were well fed to start our day, and we were able to wash our clothes halfway through our vacation, which was crucial when packing light.
