Location was perfect

I will say that location wise it was excellent. It was about 300 feer walk from the Royal Mile. Tram from airport was great as a station was about 10 minute walk as was Waverly train station. So many tourist spots nearby but you do need.to be able to walk. Only problem with room was almost no area for putting clothes. No drawers just a table and pullout bed top. There was an area for hanging a few things up. Bed was very comfortable after long days of activities. Security seemed a top proiority for entering property which was great. Other than room storage we recommend this hotel.

Everyone and everything were great. Only suggestion would be if you were to book it is to ask for a room not overlooking the back alley: lots of late night noise and partying.

The only negative was check-in. There were many guests to check-in, and only a couple staff members to handle the crowd. This is a huge hotel with approximately 10 check-in lanes. Not sure why they were not in use.?
