I would highly recommend staying here. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The lounge/bar area is super cute and cozy. Our room was adorable, with a comfy bed. The location was ideal for all our adventures and walking around. With great views from the lounge. We didn't have a "view" from our room but that was one thing that we done care about as we were only ever there to sleep.

Very, very good find. Hotel staff was superb, coordinating rooms with our large group and finding a way for early check in. Rooms are very clean and efficient. Lounge area is large, comfortable and quiet. Close to everything: the train station, the airport bus, and of course the Royal Mile. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

I was so impressed with the staff! After the longest day of travel we got there way too early for check in assuming we would have to drop our bags and try to stay awake all afternoon. The front desk got us in early and saved our bodies. The breakfast was amazing the location could not be more ideal and I will absolutely be back!

The breakfast was awesome! Lots of selection for lower cost. No room refrigerator !!! Central location across from Waverley station and big red bus pick up. In central Centre near all attractions. You pay too much for the room in my opinion. Spent over $1500 US dollars for 4 nights…..
