The hotel represents good value for money. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed and linen of excellent quality.

Nice clean room, the shower is small, but I think that is typical. Great location with bus stops right out front, making it very easy to travel into the city. There were several nights we walked back and it really isn't that far. Easy check in/out. Great stay.

An excellent location to enjoy Edinburgh. An easy walk into Edinburgh (approx 30 minutes to Castle) or an easy bus ride (stop close)
Some great restaurants along the walk into Edinburgh.
Room was very spacious and even though it was on a major street it was quiet.
Easy check in and some parking in front.
Would recommend if you are in Edinburgh.

My only suggestion would be a full length mirror in the room - everything else was fine

Public transit to the property was easy and provided excellent access to Edinburgh. The room itself was very clean and well kept. No complaints whatsoever and was perfect for us!
