The is very friendly and helpful. The location (just north of Waverly train station) can be beat. It is a quick walk to the Royal Mile and all the tourist sites. It's also surprisingly quiet for a hotel in the city centre.

Great location. Comfortable room. Helpful and efficient staff. Lack of storage in rooms is only downside for people like me staying several nights. Drawers would be welcome.

I would highly recommend staying here. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The lounge/bar area is super cute and cozy. Our room was adorable, with a comfy bed. The location was ideal for all our adventures and walking around. With great views from the lounge. We didn't have a "view" from our room but that was one thing that we done care about as we were only ever there to sleep.

Location was excellent! Room on the smaller side but did not feel cramped. A/c can be improved, we needed to open the windows to cool the room. Overall satisfied with our stay.

10/10 Exceptional

The location of the hotel is perfect! Opposite the station in the centre of the city, close to the old town and near all the shopping on George Street and Princess Street. The hotel staff were welcoming and helpful, giving us directions to the concert venue even though the trams were not running from Princess street. The hotel bar is the perfect spot to relax after a busy day. The room was clean and comfortable with everything you need for a short visit to Edinburgh. I would definitely recommend and we will be back next time we visit Edinburgh. Thanks to all the team who made the weekend special!
