Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
All staff members encountered were helpful and friendly. They work very hard and we noticed. The hotel is a great location to be able to walk to Royal Mile and down Princes Street. When everything closes early than expected in Edinburgh being able to hang out in the lounge area was great. At first glance, there are some run-down shops nearby, but I felt safe and it was easy to get to two different tram stops without worry.

Front desk people were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Building is old but fairly well maintained. Definitely not handicap accessible. Unfortunately they are doing construction on the building next door so there was noise all night. Rooms have no a/c but a fan was available. Unfortunately not many electrical outlets.

Pros: Very close to train station & old town. Delicious restaurant Spacious room Cons: our room was on the end and it was VERY noisy in the morning with large trucks You have to go up a few flights of stairs with luggage to get to the check in. Rooms are dated. Plug ins not accessible near our bed or night stand - they were across the room.

Very nice property in a central location. As they clearly advertise, there is a flight of stairs to access the lobby, so not a good choice for anyone with mobility issues. There is a lift from the lobby up to rooms.

The room had NO USB ports. Huge inconvenience in this century. The room also had an ozone smell to it that stayed even with both windows opened, not that we could open them very far. It smelled like a musty heater had been going. This was in August. WAY overpriced. Would not recommend.

The hotel is in a great location & worth the stay. The restaurant serves good food and is convenient. Staff are exceptional. However, the beds could use an upgrade -they are hard and somewhat lumpy. Other than that, I’d stay here again.

We loved the access to all the sites we wished to see. Numerous pubs and restaurants nearby as well. The hotel is well appointed and we really enjoyed the Buffett breakfast included in our stay. However the hotel is in a very part of downtown so if you are a light sleeper then perhaps look around.
