Excellent three night stay. Great breakfast, clean room and friendly staff. Hotel in student area and about ten minutes walk from Castle and Princes Street. Also good restaurants only minutes away. The only downside is parking which costs about £13 per day including Hotel discount, and is about 8 minutes walk away. (NCP )

"Excellent standard of room, good location, great breakfast. Wouldn`t look anywhere else in Edinburgh"
Good location, off the main Road (Nicholson Street). The room was very clean and well-furnished, with an extremely comfortable bed. Staff were very helpful and courteous. The breakfast was excellent. Although not a full-blown restaurant, there was a range of meals available in the evening in the bar area, but there are many eating places nearby. Overall, the standard of this hotel is much nearer four star then three. We would definitely book it again if revisiting Edinburgh.

Stayed at the hotel in August 2008. Good central location - not too noisy at night. Modern hotel. Room was very clean. Staff very helpful. Small breakfast area which meant had to wait for a table on the Sunday for about 20 minutes. Would definately stay again.

"Friendly, modern, ideallly located for the University and very clean"
For the cost I had expected a gym/swimming pool, both not at the hotel. You can use another hotels facilities for a £15 fee. I did not need more convincing not to bother and put weight on whilst there especially with the big breakfasts. Scottish full breakfast was a must and good start to my busy day. It is quieter than the main road but did hear some cars and heavey vehicles in the night, and late night drinkers- the location explains this. However the location is a postitve in the main- close to shops, restaurants- an excellent Vegetarian close by- "Susie`s". 10 hill place made my visit to Edinburgh University more pleasant. Will consider a revisit if I do not require swimming pool etc.

"Very modern, exceptionally clean, centrally located hotel"
This was our first stay at this hotel and we will certainly be going back. The staff were very courteous, helpful and friendly. Lunch was beautifully presented and the sandwich platters would have fed two or three people. The rooms were spotless, roomy and very comfortable.

"Handy location. Modern, clean and spacious accommodation in a quiet street at a good price."
Handy location for exploring Edinburgh. Well served by local buses and walkable from Edinburgh Waverley Station. Modern, very clean and spacious accommodation in a quiet street at a good price. Light and airy rooms. Staff very helpful. Excellent full breakfast to set you up for the day. A complimentary newspaper would have been appreciated!

"Friendly, helpful, attentive staff. Modern hotel opposite a regenerating squarebeside the Royal Col"
In a good position within easy walking distance of the Royal Mile. Clean well-decorated rooms in a modern style. We were unfortunate that the boiler was down so that we arrived to a cold shower but the full breakfast the next morning made up for that.
