The room we had was so hot with now windows. I brought it up to the front desk and It was still hot even after mentioning it to the staff. Overall, the hotel was not what I expected to be. the only good thing about it was the walkability to the train station and city center. I reserved three nights but because of the uncomfortable room temperature we have to leave after 2 nights. I was not refunded for the night I didn't stay.

The location is perfect! The hotel is in the center of all the attractions, and even walkable from the train. However, cleanliness needs to improve. We received dirty towels several times. The room should have been dusted, too.

Did not appreciate the checking in experience. Early check in $15.00 was agreed but not a word stating it would apply for all 3 nights. Scam worthy indeed and shameful.

Hotel is perfectly located on Princes Street with plenty to see and do within walking distance. The front staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast which I purchased a couple of mornings was great value with 2 kids. The room itself was disappointing- while the bed was very comfortable, the room was very basic and grubby.

Sehr schönes und ausreichend großes Zimmer, wir hatten ein Superior Zimmer. Perfekte Lage, um Edinburgh zu erkunden. Auch super vom Flughafen erreichbar, da der Airlink Bus direkt in der Nähe hält. Nur leider war es sehr stickig im Zimmer, weil die Fenster nicht aufgehen und die Klimaanlage nur so mittel gut war. Aber das war zu verschmerzen.

Das Hotel liegt gut und das Personal am Empfang sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück ist jedes Mal das gleiche. Es werden Eier, Rührei, gebratener Speck, englische Bohnen in Tomatensoße, und Würstchen angeboten. Des Weiteren gibt es Joghurt, aber nur griechischen Joghurt oder Erdbeer Joghurt. Es gibt eine Schüssel mit frischem Obst. Eine Müsliecke steht zur Verfügung mit leckerer frischen Milch. Man sollte aber hier keine Wurst oder keinen Käse erwarten. Das wird nicht angeboten, dafür aber Marmelade und Honig.
