Good stay, we were assigned the front room by reception and it was amazing! Great sized rooms, cosy vibe throughout hotel. Quite a lot of stairs if you’re on a higher floor but beautiful hotel would definitely stay again! Close enough to everything in town centre but also quieter than main areas like princes street.

The location of this hotel is excellent, just a few minutes walking to the city center. Our room was big and spacious, just the location of the bathroom a little weird, but also big too. It was a nice a nice hotel, just a thing, it gets a little hot and stuffy and you can open the window just al little, maybe a fan or a portable AC would be better

We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our time here. The hotel was very clean, the room was spacious and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The only small thing we missed was having slippers in the room. Other than that, everything was excellent. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel!

The bed was superb - probably the best night's sleep we've had in a hotel. It's in a great location for shopping, tourism and good eateries. Only slight negative was, we weren't told about needing £100 refundable deposit (which some people may not have to hand) and expected to produce photo ID, so keep those in mind if you decide to visit. We will be staying again!
