"I liked that the room was clean, the service was friendly, and the hotel was on a direct bus line to the base area of Edinburgh castle. However, it was very strange to have a frosted bathroom door right in front of the toilet seat. It might have been just my room, but if you are sitting on the bed, you are looking directly at the bathroom and you can see the shadow of someone sitting on the toilet."

"Superb boutique-to-midsize hotel. Had a gym, pool, Starbucks, gastro pub, room service, luggage hold, big lobby/waiting area, and professional staff. Rooms were spotless and bed was extremely comfortable. A high-value yet affordable stay about 2-3miles from the city centre. Highly recommend."

"I was extremely pleased with this hotel. Each room has a kitchenette in it. The rooms are extremely quiet and come with blackout shades. It's located on the Royal Mile so you are surrounded by all sorts of shops, restaurants, etc. I felt very safe in this area. So many things to see -- very historic. "

"Me and my mum stayed on the ground floor in the room Grosvenor and Belford, the rooms are immaculate and spotless. There is no reception, but we didn’t find this an issue as there is plenty of information about check in and I managed to leave my bag with a local company free of charge. There was a issue overnight with our heating but this was quickly resolved and compensated. Fantastic hotel, would return! Love the choccies and tote bag!"
