Incredible location and very clean, comfortable rooms. Main lobby area was under construction which made it slightly less accessible, but still a great place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is very convienent for the Royal mile and Edinburgh Waverly. Breakfast was good (continental with more options) but slightly pricey since we added it on. We were lucky that we were able to get right into our room at 9 am (which we didn’t expect but they had one open), It is clean and pretty with a comfortable bed. I would stay again.

Friendly staff and very clean. Is well located next to necessary amenities and things to see. Very lovely location. Only complaint is that there is no fridge in the rooms. Would have at least loved a ice dispenser on the floors to accommodate that.

Staff were so friendly and helpful, location was amazing. Room was very basic (though nicely finished), and there were renovations going on so the floor seemed like a bit of a building site at times. Seemed very expensive for what it was - but I guess that’s Edinburgh in July for you.
