Liked: Staff & service
I booked 2 separate consecutive one night’s stays. Night 1 was excellent with a nice room but a long walk up 4 or 5 floors (without an elevator). Night two was a trip down 2 floors underground and I encountered dust and various flying insects … not a pleasing room. The rooms were functional and the entire place had new carpet. I didn’t like being moved from the penthouse to the dungeon, but I did make 2 separate reservations and they must have run out of good rooms for my second night … although I did request (twice) at check in to not be moved … they just smiled and nodded … and then ignored my request. In conclusion, I might stay here again but it would require me knowing what room I’m getting and I don’t think that’s possible to know that in advance.

Excellent hotel option

Very comfortable, spacious and modern room just a few blocks from restaurants, shops and the train. Easy check in and kind staff. Aside from having no lift (we were on the 3rd floor), it was perfect for our stay.

Other than the shower's water pressure being very low, everything was perfect. Good and clean room, comfortable bed, nice view (from fourth floor in my case), and St Andrew's Square with bus station (and Waverley train station shortly behind that) is right around the corner.
