Hotel was in a great location, very near to Waverly Train Station. We were able to check in early and store our luggage upon checkout until our departure to the airport. The room was small but clean. The view wasn't great however and the hair/body combo in the shower was not ideal. We still enjoyed our stay because we were barely on the room.

This hotel is in a great location in old town Edinburgh! The lobby was a great place to relax after our long days with a drink and chat with other guests. The bed was very comfortable and the room had what you needed. The bathroom is updated as well. Definitely a great place to stay for the location.

Did not like inability to control room temperature accurately. Did not like that there wasn’t a telephone in the rooms, which required us to present to the front desk with issues or requests. Did not like that no refrigerator was in the room. A shared refrigerator off the lobby area doesn’t help if people with medications requiring refrigeration are staying at the hotel.

I loved this hotel! It was just across the street from Edinburgh Waverly station and minutes' walk from the Royal Mile. Despite being near all the touristy spots, it was quiet in the evenings and night. We didn't have a room with a view, but our room was quiet and extremely clean. The room was smaller than most standard rooms, however, we only were there for bed. We opted out of the breakfast since there were cafes nearby but the breakfast spread had a wide variety. Many staying there were German since it's a German brand hotel. It was honestly a pleasant experience and if we're back in Edinburgh, I would stay here again!

Hotel is fine. Conveniently located. Asked for a quiet room when we booked. Ended up with one above the railway line which was the opposite of quiet. Guys in reception were very helpful in getting us sorted with a quiet one as soon as we asked to move. All good.
