Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and the staff is friendly and nice and they had great suggestions for places to eat and to visit. Just keep in mind the "ground" floor in this hotel in floor number 6 so if you like to get a good view i believe it's better to book rooms in the upper floors. Overall, the hotel have a perfect locations where you are on the famous Victoria street directly and close to Edinburgh castle and have alot of good restaurants around it. Would definitely come back again to stay here.

Great room for 2 adults and 3 kids. Hotel was totally dog friendly for our Labrador. The staff are excellent all round and made us super welcome. Breakfast was 10/10, I just can’t fault it. Oh and it’s a great location, ten min ish walk to the station (if you go the right way and avoid the steps!)

A quirky hotel. Friendly staff, comfortable modern room. Really good breakfast. Great location in the old town. The lounge area at the Eve restaurant was comfortable for a glass of wine and we even observed the pasta making group which looked very interesting! We shall definately be back!
