This is a cracking hotel, the area is smart, reception is well laid out with great staff. Rooms are large and well furnished- walk in shower with great pressure, ipod dock, tv, fridge, microwave and even a dishwasher! All appears to be brand new so cleanliness is impeccable. Beds comfy, and rooms well sound insulated as never heard a sound from elsewhere. Also love the room height windows with good views over the city.

Breakfast very adequate, excellent range and kept well stocked.

I wish all hotels could set such high standards!

I stayed here on NYE 2012 only to find myself experiencing quite a few problems. The room was an interconnecting one (the other room was being used by another couple so the door was lock) however, all we could hear was them talking (at a normal volume) all night long. It wasn't as if they were shouting or anything, they were having a "normal" conversation. Now stying there at NYE, you expect to maybe be woken by drunken customers but not this. We were not advised on check-in whether an interconnecting room was ok and having tried to ring to reception to complain various points in the early hours, the phone wouldn't work. The room was also a ridiculously hot temperature and when we finally figure out how to open the sliding door/window, it was far too noisy outside. The room did have a fan but again, was very loud although it did drown out the conversation from next door. Surely in this day and age, hotels like this one should have air conditioning? I did complain in the morning and the manager did feel that there wasn't anything really they had done wrong however, they did give me a small refund to compensate for the stay.

Stayed here for 3 nights in October.

Convenient location about 10-15 minutes walk from Waverly Station and other major spots. The surrounding area was quiet; a mixture of residential, students, small shop and a few pubs.
Hotels itself is very well appointed. New, clean and comfortable. The rooms are on the small side well designed. Rooms included a small kitchen area, which we did not use. Bathrooms are tiny but spotless. Another plus is the free wifi throughout. One minus was that walls seem very thin; we had to move on the second night due to a crying baby next door, however the staff were very accommodating in meeting our request.

Breakfast was included in the rate and proved excellent; really good selection served in the lobby bar.

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Overall, a first class experience.

A new hotel in a new development in Edinburgh. Location is excellent - ten minutes walk from the Royal Mile. The rooms are excellent in size, and fully functional, with a cooking area including a microwave and well equipped. The staff were really good, helpful and friendly. Breakfast in the morning was good, and worth having. Perhaps the dining area might be just a little small when busy, and I wasn't expecting to see guests in the dining room for breakfast in bare feet and night shorts! However, and excellent venue for a stay in Edinburgh.
