We arrived on the sleeper from London at 7am (by far the best way to arrive in Scotland) and walked through the post-party streets to see if the hotel would store our bags until check-in time.
Not only would they store our bags, but they sorted out a room for us while we ate breakfast; we were all showered and upacked by 9am.
Great service, a nice, clean hotel, nothing posh. Convenient for the castle and Royal Mile - we had a castle view, which was an unexpected treat.
Just up the hill are a couple of great restaurants, so you don't need to walk far - a bonus after we had run the marathon.
We got a good price booking early on the hotel's own website, cheaper than the 'discount' websites.

Every thing about this hotel was first rate. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is disabled. The bedroom was ideal with a wet floor shower. I have stayed in hotels that have rooms suitable for the disabled and the bathroom has only a bath. The staff were more than helpful and the breakfast was great. It is your own fault if you leave breakfast hungry.

This is a great modern hotel to stay in. It was reasonable value for money and in a good location for the caste and the old part of city. There are plenty of places to eat and drink nearby and it isn't too far to walk to Princes Street for shopping.

The rooms are a good size with a nice walk in shower. Breakfast is good with plenty of choice.


We would definately stay there again.

I travelled to Edinburgh for work, and this hotel was great because it had fast free Wi-fi, as well as being in a convenient location, right on Grassmarket. There is a gym in their sister hotel down the road. The staff are polite and helpful, the restaurant is of a good quality, and the rooms are better than you might expect. For a big hotel, it felt quite homely, although of course it was a business hotel and it can't ever quite feel like a B&B.

Got a discount rate of £80 a night, which was pretty good value for a hotel right in town.
