People are so nice, helpful and sweet. We had the best time there. The room was nice, it was lovely to have a bathtub after a day of visiting the city. You have a lot of good restaurant around and it’s very close to the shopping center and to the old city. If we come back to Edinburgh we will come back here.

Perfect in every way, except don’t trust your GPS to find it. Search for “Rosa’s Thai”. The hotel entrance is right across the street.

Great location to explore both the old and new town of Edinburgh. Lots of shops and restaurants close by. Very walkable and safe. I'd recommend a room off the main street as it was a little noisy at night. This is not a fancy hotel, but is a good value. Staff were excellent.

The hotel was in a great location just off the main road that takes you down to the Scott Monument and beyond. I had a single room which was perfect for just me. The staff were really kind and polite and helpful also. I would definitely stay here again.
