"Comfortable stay in a small room."
My wife and I stayed for five nights. There was inadequate storage space for a stay of this length. so we lived largely out of four suitcases. The room, however, was modern and clean although the carpets were rather grubby. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet, making for good sleeping conditions. The bathroom was well equipped with a good shower. Breakfast provided a good choice and the staff did well to keep the food containers stocked and the tables clean. The hotel location was excellent for exploring Edinburgh`s main sights. We would be happy to return.

"Warm and efficient"
I have stayed at this hotel before - I chose it because of my previous experiences. A warm and efficient welcome, a comfortable room with an excellent power shower, a monster breakfast buffet - and all just yards from the public transport system to get you around Scotlands capital - what more could you want?
