Great Location

This was the perfect location for a quick visit to Edinburgh. Very easy access to the Waverly train station + perfect location to head up to the high street. (The next-door Advocate's Close stair way brings you directly to St. Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile.) I'd happily book here again!

Great position, yet really quiet and comfortable - can’t find a fault, great place to stay and explore Edinburgh.
Fiona, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Stay near the rail station

Overall a great location. Cumbersome to maneuver through the twists and turns and stairs with elderly parents to get to the elevator or reception restrooms. Breakfast was OK. Nice reception & bar area to hang out, have a drink or read. But the best part of this hotel is its location.
Nolan, 5-night trip
