Hotel is ideally located near major attractions, easy to walk to wherever you want to go, safe, clean and great staff. It is very noisy during the school year, the university kids were loud until about 5 am and I had a hard time sleeping through the noise.

The hotel is centrally located, just off the Royal Mile, so there were many restaurants and great sight-seeing attractions close by. If you have trouble sleeping with a noisy environment, there was a fair bit of activity from people partying & road cleaning equipment late into the night…over-all, I enjoyed my stay and rate it a 4/5

The staff was courteous and helpful. I requested a quieter room and it was indeed quiet.The room was better than expected, but twin beds seemed more narrow than average twin bed. Also, pillows were too thick for neck comfort. Otherwise I thought it was a great stay.

The hotel was very nice. I would have liked to have known about parking a 5-10 minute walk away (uphill to the hotel) and the expense to park at the parkade. Even with the discount 18 pounds was shocking

I stayed here for 3 nights during the end of festival season. I had not realized that the festivals would be going on, and just know that it is noisy into the evening. It is a great location, near noisy bars, great restaurants and cafes. The room was very small (it was tight with 2 people and suitcases) and the bathroom was minuscule but both were clean. I did notice that the carpet against the outside wall was damp as if there was a leak. The staff were wonderful, they helped us get help for a medical emergency.
