Pleasant hotel in an ideal situation 5 mins from the bottom of Princes Street. We had a double en suite basement room which was small, however we knew this when we booked and it wasn't a problem, location being more important than room size and who goes away to sit in your hotel room anyway? It had a very new... More

I was very disappointed to have been placed in the basement room for our family of four.

The basement smelt musty, the beds were very uncomfortable, you could feel the springs.(They did change the mattress for me,... More

We booked this hotel for a long weekend to attend the Tattoo. The hotel was very easy to locate, and whilst it is set in a terrace at the top of a slope, it is not so steep as to make it difficult to obtain. The welcome was very friendly and genuine and we found all the staff to be... More
