Wonderful - 4.5 out of 5

Fantastic location for a short...

Liked: The location can't be beat! So close to all the main attractions. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The breakfast was very good. The staff was friendly and accomadating.
Disliked: The bed mattress was too hard and the bed was a full and not a queen. There were close to 10 steps from the street to the lobby making it difficult to haul luggage into the hotel to get to the elevator. The temperature in the rooms was several degrees warmer than the corridors making sleeping challenging but understandable as the summer heat cannot be avoided. The hotel did provide a fan that made a huge improvement

Would not recommend this place.

Liked: The property was in great location. Water station provided for refilling.
Disliked: We had constant noise outside the room until past 00:00, room was extremely dark, no towel drying rail, no decent shower gel, no shampoo or conditioner provided. The toilet is so close to the wall ,while using it always catching toilet roll. The view outside the window not pleasant. For the amount of money we paid it’s definitely not meeting 4 star hotel description . Very disappointing.

decent place and close to...

Liked: Location wise this is at a comfortable walking distance from the center and close to the tram. YOu can simply hop on to the tram from the airport to get here. breakfast is not served on the property but across the street in a restaurant called Rabble. The team at Rabble are great but the breakfast is limited. Anything extra (like milk in coffee) cost you +2pounds etc. Room - bed is small and not suitable for 2 adults. As is always there is no air con, or heater or fan in the romm. We got a room in between 2 buildings. So even when we opened the window for some fresh air it was of no great use.
Disliked: the bed size

Great location.

Liked: Lovely hotel...more like a guest house than a proper hotel. Great location and given the prices that weekend in Edinburgh it was reasonable value.
Disliked: Rooms were brutally hot. Yes, I know that AC is not a good investment for somewhere like Edinburgh but still....the fan the receptionist gave us wouldn't cool a fly let alone a human. Room swapped out the next day and slightly less roasting.
