Great hotel right on Princes Street. Room was very comfortable with a great view of the castle and Scott Monument. Breakfast was excellent with a great range of cereal, hot food, breads, cold meats, cheese and fresh fruit. My one caveat would be that as the rooms with castle view are right over Princes Street, th nigare not for anyone averse toni

The Hotel is perfect situated in the middle of Edinburgh Center. Direct Tram or Bus from the Airport to Basicly in front of the Hotel. Close by to the Old Town, Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Botanical garden, really really good Restaurants and lots more to reach by foot.

Excellent hotel in a great location with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was amazing and I recommend to make it included in the stay. The only thing that I have a bit of issue is the shower has only have half glass and doesn't have door to close, it cause flooding while taking shower. Sink it very high and not good for short people. these are small issues considering everything else was great.
