The hotel location was excellent and very relaxed. Amenities are ok; however, if there was shower curtain, it’s easy to take a shower.

Pros: Good sized rooms and amenities with a generous breakfast hamper of assorted items (cereal, jam, milk, bread, biscuits, yoghurt, juice). Bathrooms and kitchen were clean and kitchen included dishwasher & washing machine. Room has good A/C. 24 hr ATM, Tescos & some restaurants located 3 min walk away.
A Planetarium/Science Museum is located 5-7 min walk and is great for families with kids. Arthur's Seat/Holyrood park is a very scenic area that is great for nature walks and picnics located 10-12 min walk away.
Cons: Some front desk were not friendly (junior), room needed maintenance in some areas e.g. kitchen cupboard doors not closing properly, leaking in apartment beneath ours etc).

The space and staff were helpful. Unfortunately, the washing machine leaked so we had to wash our clothes in the bathtub.

The room we had was clean and refurbished but the rest of the hotel could be doing with an update. Didn’t feel safe at night getting to property.

A bit outdated but real clean. And also a bit far from dinning options if you want to stay up late. But it's a good place for money a d clean which it's important to us.

Tucked off a "close" in the back of Canongate Street, it is in a great quiet location, near many interesting sites and restaurants. The room was large and comfortable. We made good use of the kitchen.
