Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Was the perfect location for us to explore Edinburgh. Room was clean and tidy and spacious. We were also able to leave our luggage after we checked out which meant we could continue to explore the city on our final day.

Clean , quiet, and spacious rooms. Excellent location. Friendly staff. I stayed in an Edinburgh hotel before, and this is definitely a better experience. Will definitely stay here again. Having a washer , a dishwasher, and a kitchen was very handy.TV needs attention as channels mostly not working. A/C is not straightforward to operate. But these are minor issues.

Had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath and it was so nice to come home walking Edinburgh to a larger space and get to relax for our next adventure. The space would work for two couples or family of four. Conveniently located for touring Edinburgh castle and the royal mile. Also 5-10 minute walk to numerous pubs.

Absolutely flawless. Excellent location. Excellent rooms. Excellent service. The price was higher than we usually afford, but ended up being good value. We will definitely book again next time we come to Edinburgh.The supplied instant coffee was so nice we thought about switching brands. There was even a bottle of milk in the fridge.No complaints, everything provided was of excellent standard; even the toilet paper was excellent quality. Our only suggestion was the addition of a magnifying mirror in the bathroom.
