Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Hotel is very conveniently located right off the Royal mile. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. My only complaint is that there was construction and painting happening in the hotel and on our floor, which no one advised us about upon check in. Would be nice to know if hotel is under renovation ahead of time.

Perfect place to stay close to the Royal Mile

The rooms were nice and the hotel was literally a 30 second walk from the royal mile. There is a pub right close to the hotel called the Piper’s Rest that was so much fun. My daughter’s had everything they needed and enjoyed the location. The staff made things very easy for us and arranged taxi pickup for both my girls on different days. Taxi pickup was at the front door.

Nice place to stay

I stayed at this hotel by myself and felt very safe. It is in the middle of everything, but my room was not loud at night. The hotel is well kept, the staff was friendly and their bar stays open late, which was great!

Service was good, it was a clean hotel in a great location. However, room and bathroom were extremely small. The biggest issue was the beds. The mattress was about 3inches thick and hard as a rock. If you are ok with a very poor nights sleep for a great location this would be a good option for you.
