    comfortable room

    fantastic access to main attractions and beautiful parks

    I loved wandering to the nearby Edinburgh Castle, just a 15-minute stroll away, and enjoying the scenic views at Princes Street Gardens, which was only a peaceful 10-minute walk from the hotel, making my weekend city strolls a delightful experience. plus, the staff were super friendly and always ready to help throughout my stay.

    low light room

    Great stay in a cozy spot!

    Had a lovely time here! The staff was super friendly, and the traditional vibe was cool. The breakfast was a highlight, especially the Scottish cooked options. Only wish our room had a bit more light since it was kinda street level, but it was comfy and clean overall.

    crowded breakfast
    voucher confusion

    A spacious and clean room made for a comfortable stay. The bed provided excellent support, and the location was conveniently close to major attractions. Breakfast was a mix of delicious options, although the service could have been swifter during busy hours. It’s worth noting the excellent hot water supply in the bathroom for a refreshing shower.

    cozy bed
    delicious breakfast
    dated decor

    Had a fantastic time here, especially enjoying the cozy bed and delicious breakfast options. The hotel also had a nice relaxation area and a small bar to unwind after a busy day. Just a heads up, some of the decor seemed a bit dated, but overall, it didn't take away from our stay at all! 😊

    cozy lounge

    This hotel suits me perfectly, providing 24-hour reception, free wi-fi, and a cozy bar/lounge area. I will always remember how the staff helped me return my forgotten jewellery. They are genuinely friendly and extremely helpful. I’m coming back next year!

    Excellent historical charm with unique room features.

    The sofa bed was very uncomfortable and noisy.

    cozy room
    mint tea bags
    lounge area
    needed cleaning

    We spent three nights and really enjoyed how cozy our room was. The staff left some mint tea bags just for us, which was a sweet touch. The hotel also had a nice lounge area to relax in after exploring, and a bar for a nightcap. The only downside was that some areas could use a good clean-up to match the lovely vibe elsewhere. 😊

    entrance accessibility

    pleasant stay with some access challenges

    The staff members were warm and welcoming, making check-in a breeze. The convenient location meant we had plenty of shops and restaurants nearby for family meals.

    While the entrance was secure, accessing it could be a bit tricky, especially with luggage.

    cozy room
    great location
    poor ventilation
    bathroom discomfort

    Loved the location! It was only a 10-minute walk to the Royal Mile. The room was cozy and clean, but the bathroom ventilation could use improvement—it got steamy too fast. Overall, a great stay! 😊

    great location
    spacious rooms
    missing fridge

    We had a fantastic time exploring Edinburgh with our two teenage kids. The hotel’s location made it easy for us to visit famous spots like the Edinburgh Castle, which we all loved for its rich history. Spacious rooms added comfort too.

    In my wife’s opinion, it would be great if the hotel had fridges in the rooms for families to store snacks. My kids wished for that extra convenience during our stay.
