The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The Nespresso machine and coffee that were located in the lobby were excellent. We enjoyed a fantastic breakfast at the Old Spence cafe. The tram was not working due to some street closures but the public bus system was easy to figure out and the main stop was not too far away.

This property was excellent. It was close to the bus stop, with a cute little neighborhood and parks nearby. Communication from staff was great before check-in. We loved our room; plenty of space, modern amenities, and a comfy bed and sheets. A bonus was the luggage room where we were able to store our luggage (for free) while we explored the city one last time before our train. My husband and I will absolutely stay here again when we are in Edinburgh.

Very clean and comfortable room. The bed was spacious and comfortable, and shower excellent. The crockery supplied was very useful, and the coffee machine provided in the reception area a good touch. It felt luxurious, curated, but not ostentatious a hotel. Would definitely return.

Very clean and comfortable. The staff was very accommodating. It would have been nice to have the option for a lighter bed sheet/blanket rather than the heavy comforter as it was quite warm.

We stayed here in the Duke room for 2 nights. The room was a good size, lovely bed which was very comfortable. The bathroom was fab also. All the things you need like hair dryer, mini fridge, tea and coffee making. Very close to cafes for breakfast and also great Irish bar within about 5 mins walk. Would recommend to anyone, and would definitely stay again. A taxi to the train station was about £14 via City Cabs.
