I had a fantastic stay at this hotel located right in the center of this beautiful city. It was just minutes away from all the best spots to eat, the historic Edinburgh Castle, and all the beautiful touristic sights. I loved that it was nestled in both the New or Old Town, away from the main tourist areas, giving me a chance to explore the local bars and cafes. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with a gym and a pool that I thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made sure everything was spotless clean. I cannot wait to return and see the newly refurbished leisure facilities. Highly recommended.

Nothing, everything was great.

Excellent location, close to central places of interest. Short walk to main attractions. Near a late night supermarket. Fantastic breakfast with lots of choice. Friendly and helpful staff

It was all superb.

The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The hotel had a convenient location, close to the castle and many other attractions. The room was clean and modern, with a comfortable bed and a nice, big shower. The in-house restaurant had a limited menu, but the food was great.

Nothing, it was perfect.
