Friendly and accommodating staff. I booked without checking lift availability. Having just started walking following an ankle replacement, I didn’t want to be climbing stairs. They were very accommodating allowing me a room on the ground floor. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Breakfast cooked fresh and great selection

New Town Old Values!

If you are looking to stay in central Edinburgh for a great price this is the hotel for you. Split over two sites the venue is clean, brigh and modern. The Scottish breakfast was very tasty and included haggis and black pudding. Other options were available. One street up from the station so good travel links. Ask for a bedroom in the second block as it includes wonderful views of the city.

Great location, the hotel has been totally renovated and has very spacious and will appointed rooms. Staff was very friendly. It is a new hotel so they are still working on improvements to service. Tram to the city and airport is a two minute walk. Ten minute walk to the royal mile. Plenty of Cafe and pubs near by. Next time in Edinburgh we will definitely stay here.

Stay away

One of the worst hotels I’ve stayed in ever. First of all, my room was smelling of paint, I couldn’t open the window. I asked to be moved and they moved me to a different room. The staff was aware of the smell, so I wonder why I wasn’t given that room from the beginning. I asked to clean the room and bring me some water, and that wasn’t organized. Only the bed was made. And finally on my last night a fire alarm went off at 1:30 in the morning because one of the clients smoked in their room. When I was going down barefoot in my pyjamas, one of the hotel managers ran past me without notifying me that I can safely return to my room and not wait outside. Horrible treatment!

Great old property. Our room had 12ft ceilings and was large and comfortable. Just far enough from Old Town to get away from main crowds. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. There’s a private on-site restaurant that was incredible for breakfast! All the sites are in walking distance. They were in the process of doing a remodel (late September) which is looking great. Otherwise they would’ve gotten 5 stars. Staff was available and attentive. I just reserve the 5 for the above and beyond stuff.

The hotel is in a good location within walking distance of Princes Street. It is well decorated, clean and the staff are very helpful. Although a bar is advertised, this is not in service.

Very good location and ideal for getting into town. However there was a bug on the bed which put us off, then found one of the pillows had loads of stains on. Our room was right next to public toilets in the hotel which means you can hear the doors and flushes. The shower did not feel private as there was no blinds in the bathroom and the shower was opposite other buildings. You could also hear staff and guests talking and coming up and down the stairs all night.
