The staff are excellent and very quick to respond to help. We requested extra towels and they were delivered within minutes. We also asked for a taxi to Britannia and one was ordered right away. The staff and location are excellent and the best parts of this hotel; however, those are the only real positives. The room is a bit odd since there’s only one location away from the beds to charge your phone using usb outlets. I know European rooms are small but the bathroom reminded us of a cruise ship bathroom and is tiny. The hotel bar and the food were ok but our last night there they served a very limited menu and it wasn’t advertised except for one tiny sign at the bar so we ended up leaving and going to a nearby Italian restaurant that is amazing. Overall, the staff here are amazing but I wouldn’t stay here again due to the bathroom and size of the room. But if you’re fine with very basic things and being in a great location then this hotel is probably for you. also, FYI this hotel no longer offers laundry service.

Great location. We could walk to everything including the castle and Johnny walker experience. The property is a bit dated and rooms are small but functional. Good for a budget hotel that checks the boxes but don’t expect luxuries.

Incredibly poor stay in Edinburgh

Unfortunately, our stay was not the worth money we spent on this for just one night (£300+). - The view from the bedroom window was straight on to a brick way, which made the room feel claustrophobic. - The bathroom sink was blocked, meaning the water wouldn’t drain away and causing a slight smell in the room. - The route from reception to our room went through the bar and restaurant, which was not pleasant for us moving with our bags or those who were dining there. - The breakfast was inadequate with very little selection - no fried eggs, no black pudding, no fried tomatoes, no potato scone - and the items that were offered were poor quality. - The noise on the street and within the hotel went on throughout the night until 6am, disrupting our sleep. We will not be back and will not recommend this hotel to others.

Edinburgh Fringe Visit

The hotel room provided exactly what was promised on the website, a clean, well equipped space that gave us a comfy retreat from the rigours of the fringe. It's excellently placed, never more than twenty minutes walk from most venues, and despite being in the heart of Fringeland it was quiet and peaceful inside. The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful, doing everything they could to make the stay go well.
