Prime location was in the center of city, five min walk up the stairs from train station, many pubs and shops all around, breakfast all the regular fixings and the staff was very friendly,
Excellent location, simple check in and a small cafe/bar in the lobby. If you’ve arrived by train the location Is so convenient (taking the market street exit there will be stairs). Location is also perfect for all the sights! Wifi was strong, A few steps to the room…but it’s Edinburgh and nothing is flat!
Clean and comfy room. Many attractions within walking distance. Lots of food options close by. A little noisy when the bars closed down, but too tired from sight seeing to really notice. Staff was phenomenal!!! Really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend. Only negative was parking was quite a ways away.
Clean room, great breakfast, wonderful staff. If you choose to skip room cleaning everyday you get a 5 pound voucher towards drinks in the lobby. Great location.
We loved this hotel. The location was perfect, close to the Royal Mile, shopping, dining, and sight seeing. The staff was very friendly. We would recommend this hotel and woyld definitely return.
The room was nice, clean, and quiet. The staff were helpful and friendly. The best part is the location, you walk out the door into zHunters Square and then onto the Royal Mile. A great experience
Great staff, clean room, stellar location. Only downside of the location is it also seems to be a gathering space for the very drunk and disorderly right outside the hotel in the square. It didn’t feel unsafe, but was just noisy at times. Great spot though. Highly recommend.

Hotel is very conveniently located right off the Royal mile. Room was clean and comfortable.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
My only complaint is that there was construction and painting happening in the hotel and on our floor, which no one advised us about upon check in. Would be nice to know if hotel is under renovation ahead of time.

Rooms could use a little refresh. Having stayed at this hotel a couple of times inthe last 5 years the rooms are looking a little tired. Otherwise the hotel location cannot be beat. Perfect for sightseeing and late nights at the pub since there is three just outside!!
