The room was clean and comfy. However, the bathtub was too high, making it inaccessible for one of us who has mobility issues. Also, there are steps coming into the property. This should be a consideration for others who use mobile devices.

The hotel was very neat and clean. The staff were very helpful. The position of the hotel was in easy walking distance of many major shops and restaurant. Easy and affordable ride in a taxi from the train station. Will definitely revisit this hotel again in the future.

Comfortable bed and good bathroom but far too hot to sleep as no air con. I was given a tiny fan which wasn’t much use. No facilities such as restaurant, lounge and bar. Location good but not worth the money.

The hotel was great. Big windows, great architecture in the hotel and in a really accessible spot. They provided fans as well for the rooms which was great because it doesn't have AC and we went in July. Can be a bit noisy at night time but it quiets down around midnight. To be expected based on the location

Great location but generally unimpressed with the room for the cost. Beds moderately comfortable, bathroom very small with kids sized toilet. Just didn't compare to the hotel we had earlier in the trip in London for about the same cost. They do a nice job with what they have but again for the $$ I will probably look elsewhere. Reception staff very nice and accommodating. Offered to hold our bags at check out if we wanted to explore more.

Great location if you want to walk around Edinburgh. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable! The room was clean and very nice. The bathroom was also exactly what you want and need. If there was one thing constructive to say, the mattress was super hard and I found it uncomfortable But I would Absolutely stay there again!
