    This place suits me perfectly! With 24-hour reception, free wi-fi, and a flat-screen TV, it has everything I need. The staff once provided the best local taxi tip, which I still remember. I highly recommend this hotel for a city break!

    Can recommend for a weekend break

    Comfortable room, convenient location, with easy access to shopping and attractions nearby and excellent power shower with plenty of hot water.

    Decent size room with a powerful shower, making it a good spot to freshen up after a day out. Proximity to a nearby restaurant for breakfast means you can fuel up quickly before hitting the town.

    The noise level from the cobblestoned street can be a real issue. I ended up wrestling with heat in the room due to closed windows. The inconsistent shower temperature was a bit of a hazard too—one minute it’s scorching, and the next it’s back to lukewarm. parking is a wallet-destroyer at £8 per hour, which put a damper on the adventure. For the price, I expected a little less hassle and a lot more comfort.

    Can't recommend highly enough for a brief hiatus

    Clean room, comfortable bed, and the added bonus of early check-in made our stay delightful, as we enjoyed the convenience of free Wi-Fi and a mini fridge to keep our drinks cool.

    No complaints from me.

    Strongly recommend for a short stayover

    Clean room, comfortable bed, with helpful amenities like a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities which made our family stay enjoyable, especially with the easy access to a shuttle bus service from the airport.

    Not obvious to find without adding further information.

    Just a reliable pick for a cursory stop in Edinburgh with good price value. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed. If you’re sensitive to street noise, consider earplugs.

    The friendly staff really stood out during my check-in and the delicious breakfast at Rabble was a fantastic start to each day. The noise from the street was a bit disruptive at night, though.

    spacious room
    great location
    easy access
    lack of amenities

    We enjoyed a family stay at this hotel, which gave us easy access to all of Edinburgh’s top attractions, like Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The room was spacious and comfortable for my son's family and us, and the location was perfect. Nearby dining options were plentiful.

    In my wife’s opinion, the room could’ve used more family-friendly amenities. A mini-fridge would’ve been great for snacks and drinks, especially with kids around.

    lack of air conditioning
    limited breakfast options
    noise from the street

    The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the area. The room was clean and had everything I needed, but the lack of air conditioning made it quite warm during my stay. Breakfast options at the nearby restaurant were limited, which could be improved for a better experience.

    comfy beds
    tea and coffee
    shower temp fluctuation

    I loved lounging in the comfy beds and appreciated the thoughtful touch of having tea and coffee ready in the room. The hotel offers a lovely sitting area and a cozy lounge to unwind after exploring the town. Just a heads up, the shower temp fluctuated a bit, but it didn’t ruin my awesome stay! 😊

    comfortable room
    friendly staff
    inconvenient walk
    unpleasant carpet
    rushed check-in

    The stay included a comfy bed in a spacious, clean room, perfect for a restful night in a quiet area, despite restaurants nearby. The provided coffee and tea made mornings pleasant. Breakfast options were plentiful, and the cheese rolls stood out as a delightful touch. However, walking to the dining venue across the street wasn’t very convenient, and the carpet in the room wasn't to my liking. Also, the check-in process felt a bit rushed, which detracted from the overall experience.
