It was the perfect location for us — near everything we wanted to see at walking distance. The only downside was the construction happening which we know is necessary at times. There was also a day where there was no hot water so we couldn’t shower but it sounds like that was an unexpected issue — it would’ve been nice to have been notified of that issue that it sounds like they had known about it all day and we found out at night. Staff was nice, location was great, and the heater was nice to have in the chilly nights.

Rooms could use a little refresh. Having stayed at this hotel a couple of times inthe last 5 years the rooms are looking a little tired. Otherwise the hotel location cannot be beat. Perfect for sightseeing and late nights at the pub since there is three just outside!!

We decided while on holiday to stay overnight in Edinburgh. I was looking for a hotel close to the Royal Mile. This hotel was literally one block away (Starbucks is up on the corner for those who need a little taste of home. PLUS there is a cute coffee shop right next door). It was actually the closest hotel to where our tour for the Harry Potter and Edinburgh castle tour met up. The staff was amazing! We arrived just after midnight...which unfortunately made it impossible for us to get into the car park (though there was a number you could call...but I forgot to add +44 to the beginning). Luckily, we were able to park just down the street. The entry to the hotel was by key only, but you needed a key to get from the lobby to the rooms. It was a tiny hotel from the part we saw. Our room was just off the dining area. You have to use your key to keep the lights on (it took us a minute to figure that out). The mattress was firm with a thin topper on top. Pillows were too hard for my taste. I just need to remember to bring a travel pillow for comfort. We didn't get a chance to stay for breakfast, but there were several people eating and looking very happy and well rested. Overall, I would stay there again. It's very convenient and I felt safe.

It should be made more clear that there is no air, and our room was completely free of phone service (in SOS mode) which feels not good.

Service was good, it was a clean hotel in a great location. However, room and bathroom were extremely small. The biggest issue was the beds. The mattress was about 3inches thick and hard as a rock. If you are ok with a very poor nights sleep for a great location this would be a good option for you.

The breakfast was excellent. The location can't be beat in Edinburgh you can walk to all the sights, restaurants, shopping. However, the rooms were extremely small but livable. If you're planning on renting a car to see Scotland like we did, you might want to land. Take a taxi to the front door and walk or take buses or trim during your stay in Edinburgh. You can then take a taxi back out to the airport to the rental car area and leave from there to unbelievable sites. I recommend going up through the highlands as a starter. We are now on the Orkney Islands and there are tremendous things to see and experience. Be aware that drive-in in Scotland is somewhat of a challenge not only being on the left side of the road and roundabouts everywhere. But the roads are very narrow so I recommend renting a smaller car! Good luck! You're going to need it!
