Nice size rooms, staff responsive and courteous. Nice location.
Lynn, 1-night trip with friends
Verified Hotels.com guest review

8/10 Very good

Great location, but room for improvement

I stayed here two weekends in a row, and both times I was assigned room #4, which is downstairs in the 'staff only' area (which can get really warm, likely due to the laundry). The room technically had a window, but there is no view. While I was still able to get a good night's sleep, this is one of the hardest beds I've ever slept on. Everything else about the room was fine -- it was nice having a mini-fridge since my other Scotland hotels did not. Both times I checked in, I was not told about the discounts at the restaurants across the street. Fortunately I overheard it being told to another guest, and I actually took advantage of the discount multiple times at the Thai restaurant. Location is fantastic as it's walkable from both the train station (Waverly) and the bus station. There are also incredible castle views at the end of the street as you walk towards the Old Town. Overall, it wasn't my favorite hotel, but wouldn't necessarily rule it out in a return trip if the price is right.

Got a bit loud at 3 am when the bars let out as our room overlooked the street. This died down pretty quick though.

Fabulous location to explore Edinburgh. Breakfast at Rabble was brilliant; we include a family of 3 Ceoliac and lots of options for us. The room was a great size for the 4 of us. Would stay here again

Loved! Would recommend. We arrived early so it was no issue putting our luggage in the luggage room so we could explore the city. Staff was very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable.

6/10 Good

Reasonable location just off Princess St. Facilities fine. Room a bit on the warm side with no obvious thermostat and TV a bit far away from the bed for ideal viewing. However I'm only there to drop my bags off and to sleep.

This property has multiples beds if necessary so it was great for the 3 of us. Plenty of room, tea and coffee and cookies provided daily. Clean and comfortable. Beds were great. Would love to have had more time there. Great place to stay.

Central and Comfy!

Great location! Very comfortable! Nice staff! Highly recommend. There are pubs nearby, as there are near all hotels in Edinburgh, so you will hear some night owls outside on the weekends. This is normal. Just be prepared, bring ear plugs or noise machine if its going to bug you. Also, the shower/tub is on a platform. Be aware & careful when stepping out.
