Location is amazing- straight onto Royal Mile and just up from the station. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. I specifically asked for a room with a bath beforehand and they obliged. Bags, which we left earlier to go around Edinburgh were brought up to our room for us. Room was lovely. We had a few drinks and some food from Herbie Mores. Food was lovely and staff were very polite. Overall a wonderful stay.

Room was spacious for 4 (2 adults and 2 kids), hotel itself is very clean and staff extremely helpful and friendly. The mid stay clean could have been better, room not hoovered well. It would also be ideal to have enough cups for the amount of people stopping in the room Finally the room could do with some upgrades, paint peeling on the bathroom door and warped wood frame.
