8/10 Good

The staff at the hotel were really nice, and the facilites are well maintained. The area around the hotel is quiet, and there are some places to have a decent meal. The location is just 10 minutes from the central station, a big plus!! Price worthy.

The hotel eas in a great location however the room was small and hot. Only a fan to keep Cool. Had a hard time sleeping because of it.
Susan, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice location. Quiet but easy to walk to everything. Room was very small and hot. I had to shuffle sideways to get past the bed. Window only opened a few inches. The fan made it tolerable, but it was still pretty warm.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The two-bedroom apartment was wonderful! Comfortable beds, nice and clean, and a beautiful view onto a quiet neighborhood but still within easy walking distance to everything you’d need in Edinburgh. It’s a great place to stay with very friendly staff.
Renee, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Large room & Pleasant Staff

The room was large and updated. The check in and out processes were smooth and staff was pleasant. It was walking distance to restaurants and we’d recommend Edinburgh Street Food. We’d stay here again.
Tara, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We loved the location, the room was wonderful, big with a great layout. We had one issue with the bathroom garbage having not been emptied from the previous guests and the bathroom was quite pungent. When we made the staff aware they dealt with it promptly. Parking was tricky as the area is busy and there are reserved spots during the weekdays but we did find space while we were there.
Megan, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent service, professional and very friendly!
Cecilia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Clean comfortable room. Bus stop nearby, but we just walked to town/Royal Mile and it was fine. Staff was very friendly. Parking was around the block and safe and locked up.
