Awesome
Close to everything, especially the castle. Lots of pubs and eateries over the road. After walking around most of the city centre this is, by far, the best road to base your stay. The hotel was great and very quiet!

Brilliant Stay
We had a great stay here. Booked last minute with our 4 year old and had a great family room with plenty of space for playing and also a bath and a shower. My little boy also got a little activity pack when we checked in which was a lovely touch. Breakfast was really delicious and had such a good selection. Location was also brilliant. We were lucky to have nice weather and were within walking distance to everything we needed

Excellent all round
An excellent hotel, clean, comfortable and brilliantly located just under Edinburgh Castle (with a fabulous view of it too!) in the old town. Staff were friendly, professional and very helpful, especially the wonderful Estel. Also liked they have filtered water fountains on each floor so you can refill your water bottle for free. Can't rcommend this hotel enough, I'll definitely be back.

6/10 Good

Thought the hotel room was nice and cozy. Unfortunately they had focused the appeal for the room around a bath which in our room had no running hot water.

Very nice central hotel
Very nice hotel. We had a super clean and spacious room, the beds were very comfortable. We loved the carafe in our room that we could fill up as needed, lovely little Scottish biscuits provided along with the usual tea and coffee. Very centrally located and friendly helpful staff. And a fabulous view of Edinburgh Castle!
