The staff is excellent - Rae, at the front desk could not have been more helpful and kind. My family and I were thrilled with the welcome we received, by Rae and Mike; and we were very pleased with the assistance they provided. And all staff were friendly, courteous, and professional! I intend to contact the manager to repeat this review directly. Also, great location.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The concierge was extremely helpful with dinner suggestions, making reservations for us and directing us to the bus we needed to take. Would come back to the hotel again and recommend it to friends traveling to Edinburgh.

Eleanor, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The room was very nice, updated. The bathroom was modern, spa-like with a great walk-in shower that had plenty of water power. The large television was also a plus. Location was a little bit of a walk uphill to the central area of the Royal Mile, but still in a good area. Overall, a very pleasant stay for us and would definitely go back again.
