Conveniently located very near a team stop so you can get to the city centre in 20 minutes. Hotel has (expensive paid) parking. It’s what you would expect from a HI Express, clean and reasonable. Food is very average and breakfast is not great, but there are many dining options locally.

We enjoyed our stay. It was super close to a tram stop, so access to downtown was very easy. Breakfast was a little crowded, but they handled it well.

Standard was as expected from hi express. Good sized modern room with all necessary facilities- good location for city centre. Hotel full and quantity of breakfast items provided not sufficient for footfall at breakfast- this should have been anticipated - staff were on the back foot to keep it stocked.

Fabulous Find
we were concerned that the hotel would be a little far out of Edinburgh but it was just 15mins on the Tram and very easy to find. We even found it a pleasant walk in to Edinburgh city centre. We have to say a big shout out to Jamie on reception who was so friendly and welcoming a real credit to the hotel. Breakfast was a little chaotic but they do warn about peak times, but what we had was fresh and delicious. We would have no hesitation to stay here again and to recommend to friends.
