I had extremely spacious room here with a bathroom as well as windows to the back yard. The staff was willing to help all the time. The location was great, for example, The Cavern Club was at a short distance from the hotel.

I enjoyed the stay here. This place was top quality and the staff was fantastically friendly. Unbeatable central location not far from the town center as well as many Attractions and restaurants of all kinds. Had lunch/dinner at The Stables, which I found at a medium distance from the hotel. The staff was willing to help, easy check-in and the room was modern and well heated.

Clean and high quality place with extraordinarily friendly and amiable staff. All in all particularly good setting close to the centre of Edinburgh's Old as well as buses to the train station. Again, walking distance to a victorian museum.
