    This place suits me perfectly! With 24-hour reception, free wi-fi, and a 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!

    Reasonably clean and pleasant place, has great views of the Edinburgh castle. It offers an incredible and stunning location and has adorable staff. There's The Queens Arms with nice shots close to the venue.

    I was very impressed indeed with the lovely, airy, spacious room I had, especially as a single traveller who usually ends up in the dingy small room at the back!! I loved having breakfast in the Cafe Rouge where the staff were very welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere was great.

    Good hotel. Location is great. Near everything, shopping streets, old town. Lot of restaurants nearby. Spacious rooms, very tidy. The bathroom is great, it has a great bath tub and shower. Very tidy. Staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good; served in the restaurant across the street, easy to go there. Hotel is really worth the money. On my next visit to Edinburgh I'll definitely stay in this hotel again. I recommend this hotel, it is a very good choice.

    Enjoyed the fact that travelling in a party where we required 3 rooms that they were all together with city facilities on the doorstep.

    The breakfast being served across the road in the cafe was fine but we did feel that the service on our visit was very poor but food good.

    The location of the hotel was very convenient for visiting places of interest in Edinburgh, not too far from shops or the train station; the Staff on the reception desk were extremely pleasant and helpful, the room comfortable and the bathroom in particular was very clean.

    If I visit Edinburgh again, I hope to stay at this hotel again but I will request another room, as I found it difficult to sleep because of what sounded like a generator pounding away all night, outside my window which I had to keep closed.
