The location of this hotel is perfect for touring old town Edinburgh. Situated in the Grassmarket surrounded by shops, restaurants and pubs. Very walkable location. Hotel is small and clean. Staff are so helpful. Our room was small, but had all amenities. Highly recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was spacious and the finishings were modern and fun. It was noisy at times with music, we weren't sure if it was coming from the pub next door or another guest room, but thankfully it usually quieted down by the evening. Great location for walking the Royal Mile and near a lot of restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Good location in the touristy Grassmarket area. Simple standard rooms that mostly fit our needs. Breakfast was served in adjacent bar. Road construction while we were there threw off the vibe though.

Great location, though a small trek from the train station- plan your abilities accordingly. Staff were lovely and it was cute! You do need to be able to walk up stairs with luggage. I wouldn't recommend this for folks with physical difficiluties or little ones. For us with our teens, it was perfect! Also right by "diagon alley" should you be an HP fan.
