We have been travelling for more than 40 years, and my wife and I both agree, that this is possibly the best place we've stayed. Modern and clean rooms, and a short walk to the Royal Mile. There is also a great bar/restaurant downstairs.

Great location, okay hotel
The location here was great, pretty much walking distance to everywhere. The room was burning hot but the thermostat was locked and we couldn’t lower it at all. Bathroom was nice with lots of hot water. The WiFi was out out entire three night stay which was really inconvenient.

This place is a short walk from the castle which is a plus. But it feels like an upscale hostel.

We stayed for 1 night, our room was big, however very cold….
Breakfast was a bit of a farce menu with 6 choices and we were told only 2 available, don’t leave a menu and then tell guests there are only 2 choices

Great area and well appointed rooms. We liked the fact they offer rooms with multiple beds, but bathroom ventilation was poor and the glass door on the bathroom does not work well with the family
