One night stay for visit to Festival Theatre. Ideal location, close proximity to theatre and royal mile with many places for dining.
Comfortable bed, great shower, spacious room, well appointed with sockets, mirror and good lighting. Friendly professional staff.
Thoroughly recommend this accommodation. Will return.

Interesting little hotel that is connected to a pub with a courtyard. The front desk makes a good latte. Very much a younger crowd type of hotel. The rooms are smaller, but have big beds.

Overnight staff was extremely kind and helpful. Felt safe traveling solo. I’d read of late night loud noise issues from next door bar, but I never noticed. Decent room amenities. Good room size to unpack. Great shower. Can’t beat the location.

The room was fine and the staff were courteous and friendly. However, immediately next to the hotel was a large outdoor bar with very loud music from early evening until early morning hours, making sleep difficult to impossible, despite our room being on the back side of the hotel.

Super convenient and fun environment w a table tennis table and festive bar attached. Staff super helpful (loaned us a phone cord and switched our room for bed to bed type preference). Would stay again, and very reasonable cost!

Our family (2 daughters - 20 & 17), husband and I stayed here.
The “family” room was a bunk bed and two “twins.” I’m not sure the twins were actually what we’d consider a twin in the US (they were quite narrow), but everything was comfortable enough. It was a small room, but clean and modern.
The bathroom door was glass that was frosted. That’s a little weird when you have 4 adults in the room together, but the room was fine.

Really cool place. Was great for the price. Elevator was broken for the duration of my stay (6 days) which made luggage extra difficult. Other than that a great place.

This property is so near and clean. It’s very welcoming. The walking distance to the royal mile and castle is just a few minutes away. The staff is great and friendly. They even will store your luggage for you if you checked out but have a bit more touring to do. I loved it and will stay here again. Also only a few minutes walk from train station.

We have been travelling for more than 40 years, and my wife and I both agree, that this is possibly the best place we've stayed. Modern and clean rooms, and a short walk to the Royal Mile. There is also a great bar/restaurant downstairs.
