Really clean and comfortable. Good walk to royal mile. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Stayed here first, little did we know it was the last decent shower we would find in Scotland and London 😂

The room was very nice, updated. The bathroom was modern, spa-like with a great walk-in shower that had plenty of water power. The large television was also a plus. Location was a little bit of a walk uphill to the central area of the Royal Mile, but still in a good area. Overall, a very pleasant stay for us and would definitely go back again.
