Great location in the heart of the old town . Minutes walk to Castle , Princes Street Gardens . Big plus is the car park next to the hotel with loft and direct entry to hotel . £15 per day as a hotel guest seems very reasonable .

Overall great. Hair dryer, pillow fragrance, earplugs, and many other facilities are provided. Not sure if the bath was leaking or not designed to be used while standing, but the mat gets completely soaked after showering. After room cleaning, the bin was left without a rubbish bag. Other than that, excellent quality and service.

Great position
This hotel is ideally positioned, right on the Royal Mile. Close to all the attractions, restaurants, shops and more! This was more important than little bits and pieces, like no slippers, room service which closed early etc. Overall I strongly recommend!

Hotel is not bad i just expected more. Paid a little more to have spa area but it was more of a kiddy pool while we stayed. I discribe the hotel as "functional" not an experience to remember. The location and quitness remain the most attractive part of our stay. 👍
