Room is lovely!! Had a big bathroom with a good bath, and the room was clean and had a good aesthetic. The staff are very kind and welcoming. Doors and reception is open all night which was really useful. They do take £100 upon checking in for safety or something which I’m waiting to get back. But other than that it was really nice, also had a bar and breakfast but we didn’t get a chance to check that out. View and area was great too.

Genuinely this hotel is a gem of a find. The staff we met were warm, friendly, welcoming and professional. The decor as you go in is wonderful as was the room and the room + bathroom were spotlessly clean. Fantastic location and despite being central was perfectly quiet inside. Will definitely be going back. Brilliant in every respect.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff were friendly, good decor throughout and very nice location close to lots of attractions. We did have a problem with the mattress being busted but to be fair to the staff when told about it in the morning they did say the room would blocked until a new mattress arrived so they were responsive. Unfortunately there was also a terrible smell in the bathroom (old urinal) which could be more difficult to sort given the age of the building - but a thorough flushing/cleaning is definitely needed.

Friendly and accommodating staff. I booked without checking lift availability. Having just started walking following an ankle replacement, I didn’t want to be climbing stairs. They were very accommodating allowing me a room on the ground floor. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Breakfast cooked fresh and great selection

New Town Old Values!

If you are looking to stay in central Edinburgh for a great price this is the hotel for you. Split over two sites the venue is clean, brigh and modern. The Scottish breakfast was very tasty and included haggis and black pudding. Other options were available. One street up from the station so good travel links. Ask for a bedroom in the second block as it includes wonderful views of the city.
