 The room was ample in size, had a great layout and decor, and looked liked it had been recently remodeled. With the Internet rate, the value was excellent compared to other downtown hotels. I plan on staying there again the next time I'm in Edinburgh.

 Reception staff very good. I had a very early start 4am, and whilst I did advise the reception staff the night before that I would need a breakfast, it wasnt ready, however the 2 guys on Reception sprung into action and got me some refreshments within mins - which was impressive. Great location too
 
9. From: William Kelbie, United Kingdom

 Great location right in the centre of Edinburgh. Rooms were a little too warm and it was noisey with the windows open but generally a good place to stay. Had a great time in Edinburgh. Would go back here if got the chance
