Sleepless nights

We were there in a heatwave, this did not help anything. It was stuffy in the room even with a fan. The bed was so uncomfortable, between that and the head multiple sleepless nights.

Great location but room stuffy and hot

Excellent location, nice staff. Allowed early check in at 1 pm, then held luggage at desk on day of departure. Room was small & stuffy, AC and small fan did not cool. Window tilted open only a few inches and looked out to other rooms requiring curtain to be drawn No ventilation fan in bathroom. Construction going on. For $250/night hoped for more.

Great location and value

Very cool décor and great breakfast space. Super conveniently located to both Old Town and New Town. Close to public transit – especially airport tram and bus connections. Close walk to all of the main sights. Rooms were small but quiet with surprisingly thick doors. Breakfast spread was really nice – lots of options. Very clean and like new conditions. Good value for the cost.

Staff were so friendly and helpful, location was amazing. Room was very basic (though nicely finished), and there were renovations going on so the floor seemed like a bit of a building site at times. Seemed very expensive for what it was - but I guess that’s Edinburgh in July for you.

Mostly happy with this place

We were happy with the place but a few things were a bit odd: The security guard on the ground level was strange and not sure why he sat there all day. The door was difficult to open to our room. It was very noise overnight given the location of the hotel. Happy with the shower and also the view out of the front window. The bed was more firm than I prefer. The reusable cups were pretty nice for waters

Friendly staff and very clean. Is well located next to necessary amenities and things to see. Very lovely location. Only complaint is that there is no fridge in the rooms. Would have at least loved a ice dispenser on the floors to accommodate that.
