We had a comfortable stay. The room was a bit smaller to what I thought I would be getting. The WiFi was not secured. We parked at St James Quarter for 3 days and it was £45 with the discount. The staff there were friendly.

Right across from the train station so it was incredibly convenient. Within a reasonable walk to Edinburgh Castle and some main shopping streets. The rooms were average, and the hotel was under renovation.
