I would commend this hotel to anyone visiting Edinburgh. Brilliant location, Corner room(5031) on top floor, Brilliant Castle view. Food was excellent and staff went out of their way to help. Will definitely book again.

I found the staff excellent, the check in girl was super, restaurant staff very helpful and the cleaning staff which I met in the corridors all smiled and said hello. These qualities are very often lacking in big cities nowadays but Edinburgh was a great experience and the hotel was the icing on the cake. Highly recommended

We reserved a room with a balcony and castle view, which was definitely worth it. It was nice to be able to step out onto the balcony and watch the activity in the square below and the view... More

Location is fantastic, no denying it, but the minute we arrived I had my doubts about how things would go... Checked in around 3.30pm, (check in is... More

We loved this hotel when we stayed just before Christmas, and I have raved about it ever since. The location is fantastic, the only problem you might encounter is which of the excellent restaurants and bars to choose-all of which were excellent! The room was a little pokey, but tbf we completely over looked this as soon as we spotted... More
