Loved the room! Although it was a bit smaller than we expected it was classy and stylish without being cold. We liked the thoughtful extras such as mineral water and cookies, and the large flat screen tv also went down well. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and excellent breakfast. Although others have praised the location for its quietness, we found it a little far out of the centre. That said, a taxi from just off Princes street only cost us £3. In summary, a great hotel perfect for a romantic getaway and as a base for seeing the sights.

Stayed there with my family. Although we had booked adjoining rooms and were confirmed, on arrival there was some confusion. However it was soon sorted out. This hotel is great value for money, well located, big well equipped rooms and a great breakfast included. The reception staff were most helpful.

Highly recommended

By far the best three star hotel I have ever stayed in and certainly the most chic! Good position, only 10 minutes walk from the Royal Mile, superb breakfast, excellent staff and we were able to leave the car there all day after checking out. A must-stay in!!

Sadly we only had 1 night at this hotel. We arrived by car on a Saturday and the place was full but we were lucky to get one of the free parking spaces directly behind the hotel.

The reception and bar area is small but functional and the staff were pleasant and helpful , sadly not always the case in Scotland. We had a room on the 3rd floor which was close to the lifts but this wasn't a problem and when the door was closed there was no noise disruption. The room was excellent and spotlessly clean. Nice furnishings and a bed that I would happily have stayed in all day if it wasn't for the kilt shopping trip that was planned. A nice flat screen telly and a big clean bathroom with a powerful shower finished the room off.

We opted not to go downstairs for breakfast as we'd read about how busy it got so we had a continental breakfast delivered to our room free of charge. It was excellent too. Croissants, grapefruit and a selection of fresh cheese.

The hotel is tucked away down a quiet side street and is only about a five/ten minute walk from the Grassmarket and castle area. We walked back from Cafe Royal (Great pub for food and booze) which is just off Princes street and it only took maybe 15 minutes. There are plenty of Thai/Indian and Chinese restaurants nearby and if you can't find a pub you like in Edinburgh then I'd give up if I were you.

I would definately stay here again. We got a discounted rate of £80 and it was worth every penny. For comfort and location you wont beat it in that price range, and I bought my Kilt....
