Adequate stay experience

modern roomclean roomcoffee podssmall roomsoft bedspring feel

The room was modern and very clean upon arrival. It included a sufficient kitchenette, which i found useful. Complimentary coffee pods were a highlight.

The room size was small, difficult to move around. I found the beds awful. They were too soft. I could feel all the springs while sleeping.

Excellent stay near Princes Street!

convenient locationshort walkfriendly stafflocked thermostat

The hotel location is convenient. It is just off Princes Street. The walk to Murrayfield took only about 20 minutes! It was ideal, since I was attending an event there. The staff are friendly and helpful.

I found the thermostat locked at 24 degrees. I also could not open a window. This.

decent stay, a couple of issues

free drinksconvenient locationsmall roomwhistling noise

the staff were generally helpful. the free drinks in the evening were a nice touch. the location was also quite convenient for getting around. i found several cafes and restaurants nearby.

The room was smaller than i expected. It felt a bit cramped. there was also a strange whistling noise, possibly from the ventilation, , made sleeping difficult. i mentioned it, but nothing happened. they gave no solutions.
