Beautiful building! Location was lovely.
Eleanor, 1-night trip

Gerry, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Really enjoyed our stay here. A nice walk to all of the major sights.
Sarah, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was great. Big windows, great architecture in the hotel and in a really accessible spot. They provided fans as well for the rooms which was great because it doesn't have AC and we went in July. Can be a bit noisy at night time but it quiets down around midnight. To be expected based on the location

10/10 Excellent

Woman on evening shift was very helpful and kind.
Lindy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A great location in New Town, close to the action but just far enough away to be restful. The front desk staff were friendly, and the room was well equipped and comfortable.
Beth, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location if you want to walk around Edinburgh. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable! The room was clean and very nice. The bathroom was also exactly what you want and need. If there was one thing constructive to say, the mattress was super hard and I found it uncomfortable But I would Absolutely stay there again!
Eleanor, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Comfortable bed and good bathroom but far too hot to sleep as no air con. I was given a tiny fan which wasn’t much use. No facilities such as restaurant, lounge and bar. Location good but not worth the money.

8/10 Good

Lovely, spacious and clean hotel room with friendly, helpful staff. The room we stayed in was VERY noisy on a Friday night as it's across the street from a bar where drunken people partied outside until the wee hours and we had an early morning flight to catch.
