Summary. Typical business market style hotel with little soul. Great location for tourists, right on Royal Mile. Only average value-for-money at this level. If you are a tourist and get a good deal, then it might be do better in Edinburgh. Staff. Very helpful and friendly - very high standard of service. Rooms. Bog standard amenities. Typical expensive fridge/bar. Comfortable.... More

I had a hot buffet breakfast included and it was very yummy- had everything you could ask for at breakfast including smoked salmon, haggis and black pudding.The location of the... More

This is a nice hotel in a great location that deserves 4/5 but beware of possible noise disturbance from the club near-by. It doesn't close until 3AM, including week days, and the clubbers are hardly quiet when they leave.The music is constant and clear. The Hotel have put up secondary glazing but if you are a light sleeper this is... More

Centrally situated on on Royal Mile close to most of the attractions. We stayed 2 nights and had a comfortable room on 5th floor. Did not eat in hotel so can't comment on the dinning facilities. Would definitely stay here again. More

This hotel is perfectly located. It is set amongst the cobbled streets close to the castle, pubs and many of the attractions of this lovely city. The rooms are fairly small but modern and comfortable. The service was attentive and the bar, restaurant and informal areas were great for sitting reading the newspaper or having meetings. Breakfast was excellent. More
