Overall the hotel was ok. We only had bath towels and used them for hand towels as well. I thought that the hotel missed basic travelers needs. Perhaps that was my experience. Given same circumstances, I would stay somewhere else.

Perfect place to stay close to the Royal Mile

The rooms were nice and the hotel was literally a 30 second walk from the royal mile. There is a pub right close to the hotel called the Piper’s Rest that was so much fun. My daughter’s had everything they needed and enjoyed the location. The staff made things very easy for us and arranged taxi pickup for both my girls on different days. Taxi pickup was at the front door.

Stayed 6 nights. Perfect location. Quiet room. Friendly staff. But there was a strong sewage smell in some of the hallways all week. Fortunately our room wasn’t in one of them, but we could smell it in the hallway on the way to and from the elevator. Felt sorry for the people in those rooms.

The hotel is comfortable, and right in the middle of the Royal Mile! We had window open, and there was some noise from the alley, but this was expected. It was interesting hearing all the different things going on 😀. Breakfast was good, but no meat. They ran out and apparently never brought more out while we were there...

The shower leaked out of the stall after each shower. The room was too warm, but the fans provided helped a lot!

Excellent location but a bit pricey. Chose to not have our room cleaned everyday and got £5 reward each day.
