Fantastic accommodation just near the main centre of Edinburgh (OmniCentre, Playhouse, St James Shopping Centre). Plenty of amenities within 5 mins walk amd nice location. Reception staff very friendly and Georgian design hotel was impressive... a bit like the Tardis (bigger on the inside). Room was spacious and had everyone you needed for a stay.

The room was clean, spacious and staff were helpful. The bed was comfortable. The hotel was quiet and there was a small occasional noise from the street but it didn’t bother me. I stayed for 4 nights and the only change I’d recommend is to have a mini fridge so that people can store their water etc. After all the walking I liked that there was a bathtub in the bathroom.

The rooms are spacious, clean and quiet. The staff is extremely helpful. The gentleman ( wish i had gotten his name)manning the reception desk when i checked in was so nice and took my suitcases to the room. Top floor in a walk up! Above and beyond! There are so many places to shop and eat within walking distance.
