Fantastic accommodation just near the main centre of Edinburgh (OmniCentre, Playhouse, St James Shopping Centre). Plenty of amenities within 5 mins walk amd nice location. Reception staff very friendly and Georgian design hotel was impressive... a bit like the Tardis (bigger on the inside). Room was spacious and had everyone you needed for a stay.

The room was clean, spacious and staff were helpful. The bed was comfortable. The hotel was quiet and there was a small occasional noise from the street but it didn’t bother me. I stayed for 4 nights and the only change I’d recommend is to have a mini fridge so that people can store their water etc. After all the walking I liked that there was a bathtub in the bathroom.

Good location for getting to the main attractions. The property itself is in need of some repair and the room floor was very creaky and the shower was quite poor.
