“Meh”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

We stayed here on Saturday night after seeing a show in the Playhouse. Firstly, it is incredibly difficult to navigate your way to this hotel as every other street in Edinburgh seems to be closed at the moment, which isn't the hotel's fault, in fairness, but it's something you might want to consider when choosing whether or not to drive....

“Alright if you can't find anything better!”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW via mobile

The location of this hotel is great, directly opposite the Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre and within walking distant to all the major tourist attractions (the castle is about 20-25 minutes away). The room I was allocated was of a good standard with a well appointed bathroom, a choice of pillows and free basic WiFi (it is incredibly slow but does the... More

“Nice little hotel”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

We spent three nights in this hotel while visiting Edinburg. Totally modern interior. Smallish room, with unique bathroom: door hinged to either close off just area with toilet, or entire bathroom. Good buffet breakfast. very convenient to all tourist sights in Edinburgh.

“Great location”

This hotel is ideally situated for exploring the city, and what a beautiful city it is. We stayed for two nights and found the hotel very comfortable with nice clean rooms. We had a lower floor and windows overlooking the main road, but it was quite. Very friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast is good, with a good selection (except bacon) Parking... More

“Why is there no restaurant?”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

In a great position to catch all the people coming out of the Playhouse Theatre production "Ghost"this hotel always has an empty restaurant. They don't really have food they said . What they have is a poor choice of dreary bar snacks. We opted for very dry garlic bread and watched the weary tourists come in to ask for food... More

Only one side of bar only which is not enough for amount of people having breakfast. There were no bananas available, the scrambled egg was out of a packet and the juice... More

“Terrible breakfast”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Great central location with generally helpful staff. Breakfast is "free" but at £129 for the room it should be. It was however terrible and totally chaotic. Breakfast staff were totally incompetant. They closed down half the serving area whilst breakfast was in full swing. This caused queues at the one remaining toaster, I was told the guests were to blame... More
