Great older hotel near everything
Great older hotel near everything. Bed was comfortable, the room average size for an older downtown hotel. Breakfast was a good, typical, UK hotel breakfast.

Excellent location
Our third time staying at this hotel. It cannot be beat for location, has an excellent breakfast buffet, and a well-stocked and well-priced bar/lounge area for afternoons and evenings.

One of the best in Edinburgh.
This is quite an old hotel but it has a certain homely cosy charm to it. The rooms are pleasant and inviting. Staff are very helpful and polite.

Acceptable for the price
For the price it was perfectly acceptable. Really well located. Bedroom was bigger than expected. Its an old building so had old building problems but every hotel in Edinburgh has the same issues. If on a budget would stay again.

Christmas trip
Lovely hotel. However, rooms are a little dated, this wouldn't stop me going back. We opted for breakfast and this was very nice, plenty options and very fresh. This was priced at £15 per person, on reflection a very reasonable price.

3 night stay.
The hotel and staff were excellent - I cannot fault anyone at all. However, when I booked I thought I was getting a room with a view of Princes Street - maybe I made a mistake? Apart from that, all was great. Thank you.

Reasonable hotel
Convenient location for public transport but noisy due to room overlooking Xmas fair and noise from trams. Staff were helpful. Breakfast buffet was good with a number of options.

Great location and view of Old Town
I've stayed here multiple times now. It's an older hotel, but it's clean, the staff is super friendly, and the views of the Scott memorial, the gardens and Old Town are amazing. And it's just a short walk to anything you'd want to see. Next time in Edinburgh, I'll be staying here again.
