Perfect distance to everything we wanted to do. A short walk to the Royal Mile, easy access to the airlink route and lots of restaurants and cafes very close! Very quiet and comfortable room with plenty of space. Staff were lovely also.
Beautiful hotel, clean and comfortable rooms, well furnished with necessary amenities, very helpful friendly staff, great location with easy access to the city, bars, restaurants and coffee shops.

Quick and easily shown to the room, clean environment
This hotel room went beyond my expectations, the room was very spacious and clean. The toilet was amazing including a bath and a shower which definitely made my stay even better. I was very impressed with the quality of the hotel for the price paid. It was only 10 mins walk from the train station. I will definitely recommend and I will be booking here soon again. Only thing to improve: there was no fridge and there was a missing piece in our toilet sink but none of this affected our stay
