The staff was all super friendly, we felt very welcomed. This hotel is also in the middle of everything, not in a way that makes it super busy but you can easily walk to shops as it’s super close to everything. The breakfast was also amazing and reasonably priced. I would 100 percent come again!

The property was great. There’s an issue with the amenities list. There is NO on site laundry as mentioned. There is laundry service which is not the same thing. The staff were okay, did not want to help with baggage up their stairs to reception. Instead, told us to go back outside and up the outside ramp. Remove the alligator and get an inside ramp for luggage moving in and out of the hotel.

By far the best area to stay in as it’s close to everything and the facility is amazing on top! As you stand at the front door you have the most up close & amazing view of Edinburgh Castle (which is fully lit up at night). Directly across the street are the most amazing restaurants that truly you don’t need to eat anywhere else. If weather is not the best- U we is quick and reasonable. Facility pool/sauna is a nice add on when doing a lot of walking about and the breakfast add on is big and delicious (you can adjust it depending on your tastes but we did the full breakfast with it all in and it was amazing, including the haggis. You MUST let your tastebuds do the talking in haggis and NOT your mind. It is fabulous!). Staff very courteous and they do provide online options and bag storage. Overall- great spot & great value for the money!
