Right on the Royal Mile where all the old buildings, cafes, shops, diners, and castles are. 10 min downhill walk to the Edinburgh Waverly station. Excellent buffet breakfast and I recommend buying that with your hotel booking if you have that option. Confortable beds amd pillows. Bath shower could have an extendable screen as water can spill out. Overall, I'd steongly recommend this hotel during your stay at Edinburgh.

Good hotel

Overall a good hotel but some points that could be easily improved including the corridor carpets which could do with a good clean or replacing, not a great first impression when your going to your room as they are pretty dirty and smelly in contrast to the rooms which are very clean and well presented. Sauna was out of order, Breakfast generally very good but the one thing that I have a particular issue with at this hotel is the bacon, why they cook one side only leaving to other to broil in steam is off putting, it leaves it with pale uncooked fat and wet on one side, very unappetising.

Perfect location. Room was very clean and comfortable. Very busy hotel and cleaning for and lobby area and lobby access washrooms wasn’t very good. Wifi was terrible. When I inquired I was told there was no issues, it was my phone. When I inquired again, a woman apologized and confirmed there are frequent issues.
