We stayed two nights at the hotel at end of May 2024 as part of a tour of Scotland. The hotel is located fairly close to most of the tourist type attractions in Edinburgh but does not have the charm of older hotels. The room was clean and comfortable and it was quiet at night even though our room looked over the street on which the hotel was located. We ate breakfast at the hotel one morning (it was included with the tour we were on) and the wait staff was somewhat disorganized. The choices for breakfast (buffet or off the menu) were excellent and the off the menu dishes were fine. The one dinner (again, part of the tour) was just ok.
Super helpful front desk and amazing housekeeping. Beware of the hostess with the angry face at breakfast. She is the gatekeeper of guests and angrily stops anyone who enters without her permission. She seated my party of two at a narrow table with no place to set our luggage. I put it behind another table and was told I could not leave it there as the table was needed for other guests. There was nobody even waiting to be seated and there were many extra tables. She just didn’t want me to have my suitcase where I put it. Other than the stern-faced breakfast hostess, every other staff member was welcoming and kind.

Disappointing
Tiny rooms small bathroom good for 1 person not 2, disorganized poor use of facility
Great location to explore Edinburgh. The rooms felt a little clinical with not much character, but were very comfortable. Great choice of breakfast.
Good choice of restaurants and bars around and really close to Edinburgj castle. We chose the hotel partly becuase of the sky bar with the view, but this was only open on weekends, and children are not allowed, which had we known we may have chosen a different hotel. Overall a comfortable stay and lovely hotel.
The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The room was immaculate and a generous size. We only had breakfasts but they were plentiful and offered a wide selection.
Situated in a great location near the castle for exploring the city centre. I would absolutely stay again.

Short city break
The hotels room was quite basic and fairly small for a family with two young adults with us.
It felt more like a premier inn.
Music from the sky bar was quite loud on one of the nights which stopped us all sleeping.
Breakfast was very nice.
Overall we had a good stay but it was disappointing to find the room had not been cleaned properly. There were long blonde hairs and food crumbs on the carpet which you couldn't miss seeing. Mentioned this to reception when we went out and they had it cleaned by our return. Strangely too we'd been allocated a wheelchair accessible room which they claimed was Expedia but I didn't select that option. Not that it was a problem to us to us really but might have kept that option from someone who needed it. The only other niggle was that despite paying extra for breakfast we found they wanted more money on top for some options, like eggs benedict at £8. Really?
Other than that it's a smart, stylish hotel with nice staff in an excellent location for exploring the center of Edinburgh.
