Stayed for two nights. Two rooms for five people. Hotel very conveniently located just off the royal mile. Arrived at 8am and were able to safely store our bags until check in time. We were also given a map and some recommendations of places to visit. The rooms were spotless and had a large bathroom. The bathroom door could be... more

Good location, close to everything, Walking distance from airport bus is 5-10 mins max. Just of royal mile close to pubs and restaurants. 10 min walk to princes street for shopping. Good breakfast. Clean comfortable room, pleasant staff. Would stay here again if visiting Edinburgh. more

Had a long weekend free and decided to visit Edinburgh for a staycation. We usually have gone to Europe but with the Euro at an all time high against the £ we decided to stay in UK. I must say that we chose this hotel for two reasons, firstly I had a free night and some points from my loyalty... more

We stayed here as part of a larger party and we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel for the modest price. The staff were all unfailing pleasant, whatever time of the day or night, and went out of their way to offer assistance. Both the bedrooms and public rooms were always spotlessly clean and the breakfasts fresh... more

Staff went out of their way to take care of any problem or question we had. Nice breakfast, I really liked the coffee machine,a perfect cup every time. I would recommend this location to anyone wanting to be near The Royal Mile. more

One of the best features of this hotel is the location...just a block away from the Royal Mile on a partially pedestrianized lane. Be sure to take note of the entrance to the lane, as it doesn't look like a street from the Royal Mile--it's the archway next to the Childhood Museum. Our quiet room overlooked the church next door... more

Great location in Edinburgh. Literally minutes from most of the main sites. The staff were immaculate and most helpful. The room was clean and well equipped if just alittle small. The free internet via ethernet cable was a god send! The breakfast was continental and ample situated in a fresh basement room. Other people staying were a little noisy but... more

This was my first time to Edinburgh and I found this hotel online just by chance. This hotel was actually mentioned in one of the travel magazines on KLM. It was a great find. The location is great as it wasn't that far from the airport and it's just a block down from the Royal Mile. The staff were always... more
