This was exactly the twin room I wanted in Edinburgh. The location was great and amazing, very close to city centre, and the bed exceptionally comfortable.

The room of this place was tidy with tv. The hotel's position was marvellous and perfect, not far from restaurants as well as the centre of Edinburgh.
Unfortunately Wi-Fi was average, and the bed was dirty.

Thanks for the good stay for two nights. The setting is decent, it's so close to shops, pubs and restaurants, and a very nice area close to the playhouse and nice restaurants. In fact, it's approx 10-15 minutes' walk from Collective Gallery, one of the tourist spots.

Accommodating room, good sized, with large double bed, modern bathroom and nice decor. Magnificent and amazing location in nice little area, close to bars and food, and the center. Again, not far from a towering monument.
Breakfast basic.

Loved our time here. Our accommodation was set in a very central location very close to the playhouse, waverly railway station and the old town. One of the advantages - cosy and warm rooms; they included a hair dryer, a walk-in shower and fresh towels.
