Clean room, place to sleep, roof over your head. I paid for the buffet but they say I didn’t and that they “understand the booking may have been confusing.” I wasn’t confused. I paid for the buffet and didn’t get it. But other than that, it’s perfect location, manageable walk to Edinburgh Castle and city. Friendly and efficient service.

Small room. Outdated decor and scuffed doorways etc. Windows have no proper seal - sounds like they are open when closed. If you have a room facing Princes street and castle view it’s nice but very loud. Need extremely good ear plugs. Can also hear tv and voices from rooms next door. Called front desk to switch to a back of hotel room and told it’s noisy there as well. This hotel advertises sound proofing. That is an absolute lie. Would not stay here again for the price. Let down. Really disappointed.
