    A Cozy Haven in the Heart of Edinburgh

    The breakfast spread was good, particularly the made-to-order options. I loved enjoying my morning coffee with views of the city. For a quiet evening, check out the cocktail bar-perfect for unwinding after exploring the vibrant streets nearby.

    I appreciated its outstandingly accommodating and super-friendly employees.

    Came here for 2 days, the hotel was safe and perfect, it had fantastic location really close to EDINBURGH at last once a month for work and Very close to all attractions. The standard queen room was airy and had a comfortable bathroom. The castle view here was outstanding. Overall the service was friendly! Fine check-in was a bonus. Food was outstanding and I have nothing but very nice memories from this trip.

    The hotel has a very good location (right in the city centre), from here you can start a sightseeing tour. The staff was very nice and courteous.

    The hotel's location was very good. (right in the city centre), from here you can start your sightseeing tour. The staff was very nice and courteous. But our room 306 did not meet our expectations. It was too small. A small bed, this room was rather suitable for 1 person.

    Fab and prime position, I appreciated staying in this place.

    The place was fairly clean with a lovely design and welcoming and knowledgeable staff. The rooms were spotless and stunning equipped with castle view, lovely views, for example. Plus I reached Jo Malone in 10 minutes by foot.

    Location in general and especially connection to airport bus or tram - great

    cold in the whole hotel, except in the rooms - there it was very warm :-) there is a draught everywhere, new windows are urgently needed, energy is burned senselessly, because you can't get the very high rooms warm anyway. In the rooms, on the other hand, it is pleasantly warm, although there are also leaking windows.

    Very nice hotel right in the centre of Edinburgh! Behind the small entrance at the street a great and beautiful hotel awaits you. The reception is on the 1st floor. Here is also a nice hotel bar and the breakfast room. Our room was a bit small, but nice! The breakfast was nice. We had a window seat with a view to the castle and to Old Town. Would come back.
