    Value for money

We had a fantastic 5-night stay at this hotel. The location was perfect for exploring the city, as it was just across the road from the Edinburgh Playhouse and there was an Italian restaurant right next door. The hotel was also very close to the railway station, making it convenient for transportation. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice hot powerful shower. The breakfast provided was excellent, with plenty of options and a nice airy breakfast room. The staff were friendly and helpful, especially the tall chap with glasses at reception. this hotel had great facilities and was in a convenient location for getting around.

Nothing, all excellent.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely done. The hotel is located in the center of the city, close to transportation and attractions.

Couldn't stay longer. Blower didn't work, making it cold in the mornings.

We loved how close this hotel was to the train station, only a 5-minute walk away. The location was also great for visiting the attractions of this city, with easy access to sightseeing buses that would take us to places like Edinburgh Castle and The Playhouse. Additionally, there were plenty of dining options within easy walking distance, including pubs and a cinema across the road. The staff at the hotel were very kind, welcoming, and informative, ensuring that we made the most of our stay. The room was spacious, quiet, and well-fitted, with a comfortable bed. The breakfast was also well set out and offered a buffet option, which was amazing after not having that choice for a while.
