Very good but very expensive

Very nice hotel but no restaurant Monday and Tuesday which is a pain but lots of nice restaurant very close by, parking is not good really and expensive at the hotel, I would score this hotel higher but it very expansive and for these prices it would have to be amazing I don’t think I would stay here unless it was more reasonable, staff are lovely and helpful and the area great Edinburgh is brilliant

Perfect for a short weekend break with friends. The location is a little out of the action, but it was lovely and quiet with lots of cute cafes in walking distance and the walk to the centre was not too long. Really great hotel with large rooms.

This property was in a great location next to the park and main shopping and dining area. A little separated from the busier area, but still walking distance from everything. Check in was easy. Paid £16 for parking. Luckily, we didn’t have any issues finding a parking spot in their busy parking lot in front of their hotel. The room was clean and updated. Only complaint was that the faucet had two different nozzles; very hot or very cold water, nothing in between. Provided waters and traditional Scottish snacks in the room, which was nice. Espresso maker was a plus. Only complaint we had was that we had to take stairs from the elevator to get to our room, which was difficult with our very heavy bags. It was a strange Alice in Wonderland stairs situation. Other than that, it was a great stay!
