"10/10 all round. Staff pleasant Room clean Food great. Well done to everyone "

"Edinburgh hotel prices are notoriously expensive and poor value in my opinion after 50 years of staying there - but this was an exception. February meant a comfy stay for 54 quid for my wife & I. The price and location were the clinchers - the AirPort Express bus stop is right outside the hotel entrance and so is the tram stop. Haymarket rail station is right across the street. So is Ryries - one of the Scottish capital’s historic pubs - others are on the hotel’s doorstep, including its own Platform 5 bar n restaurant. Princes St is just along the road and the Royal Mile & castle are not far either. Stairs up to reception are a hassle with heavy luggage but our receptionist was good at her job & welcoming. Her offer of a room upgrade was a surprise - so instead of a windowless room we got a view of the car park - hardly the majestic castle but better than a blank wall. Our room was small for two with carryon luggage - so cramped with bigger suitcases no doubt, although there is storage under the bed. The double bed mattress was remarkably good and we had a sound night’s sleep which is top result for any hotel. As others have mentioned, the lack of a kettle to make a cuppa is a glaring omission - I’d rather have that than the complimentary hairdryer. Late checkout was complimentary with my IHG points. Skipped breakfast in the hotel cos an Italian cafe almost next door does super omelette rolls and all sorts of other goodies. A highly enjoyable stay in every way. "

"Friendly welcoming staff, very convenient and good value for an early flight."

"Room was updated, very clean and comfortable. We had one night where an alarm went off but after that we really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is walkable to all the old town sights and the Castle. We would stay here again!"

"Beautiful room and lovely and clean. All staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough to help us. We felt very welcome and loved our stay. Breakfast and breakfast staff were also brilliant and the pool was a bonus. Well supervised and again friendly and helpful staff. "
