This is a very clean, well-maintained property, within walking distance of the train station, the shopping district, as well as Old Town and the Royal Mile. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, providing luggage storage both prior to check-in and after check-out. There is no restaurant on site (other than a bar menu), but there are numerous dining options close by. I highly recommend this location.

This property is a bit of a walk to the gorgeous royal mile and Edinburgh castle but if you like modern with a nice gym and excellent breakfast highly recommend. Rooms are well appointed and larger than your average European room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the lighting okay. We didn’t realize it was more of a hotel for a night or two, not necessarily for 10 nights as there were no chairs nor any place to store clothes so we were living out of our suitcases every day. The location was convenient - close to downtown but not in a really busy place. Lots of restaurants within a few blocks. Did not have the brunch or drinks at the hotel. I would recommend for a one or two night stay, maybe three.
