Reasonable location just off Princess St. Facilities fine. Room a bit on the warm side with no obvious thermostat and TV a bit far away from the bed for ideal viewing. However I'm only there to drop my bags off and to sleep.

Central and Comfy!
Great location! Very comfortable! Nice staff! Highly recommend. There are pubs nearby, as there are near all hotels in Edinburgh, so you will hear some night owls outside on the weekends. This is normal. Just be prepared, bring ear plugs or noise machine if its going to bug you. Also, the shower/tub is on a platform. Be aware & careful when stepping out.

Convenient early bag drop before and after stay. Close to train station. Large room. Boarded up building next door was unappealing. Included breakfast is off site.

Property was average. Location was convenient. Breakfast was included and at a restaurant across the street - that was enjoyable. Parking was at a garage 20 minute walk away. Staff was average - not the friendliest.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is like a boutique hotel with nice amenities and cleanliness. It's also a short walk to the Princess street, and about 15-minute walk to the old town and the castle. The overall stay was good but I do have two concerns. First, our room faced the street. Even though we're at the third floor, we could still hear all kinds of noises till very late at night. It's not even the weekend. Second, the way they store the luggage is a bit unsafe. They simply asked us to bring the luggage to the basement with a key. All guests did the same with the same key. We were worried about the safety of our luggage.
