Excellent City Center Stay
prime location helpful team varied breakfast
The location was excellent. It was just steps from the Royal Mile. The team treated me like royalty, they could not do enough. I found a Grab and Go bag for breakfast very convenient on the days I had early tours. Breakfast on other days was full of variety, the breakfast staff was helpful.
The lighting in the room was too dim for my liking. I also noticed a shortage of non-USB plugs.

Breakfast included a decent variety of options. I noticed both hot and cold selections. A machine provided beverages around the clock. Luggage storage was available, which I found to be very convenient.
Location

This hotel's location is excellent for exploring the city center. I was very close to The Royal Mile. Many restaurants are nearby. The train and rail system are close by, which facilitates transportation.
Rooms
9/10
The room was very clean upon my arrival, and the linens felt comfortable. The bathroom was both clean and modern. I found a kettle with tea bags in the room, and pouches of real milk were a definite bonus for my tea.
Service
10/10
Staff members were cute. They were full of information. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I appreciated the 24/7 desk service. Everything seemed possible with their help.

Decent stay with a good location
friendly staff good location continental items sound insulation noisy neighbors inadequate lights
I found the staff very friendly. The hotel has a great location. It is just one street from the Royal Mile. The breakfast had a good selection of continental items. It included both cooked and continental food.
The internal sound insulation was a problem. I had very noisy neighbors. They kept me from sleeping. The lights in the room were inadequate, more is needed.
