We stayed here and used as our base for Kiltwalk2025. I have stayed here in 2023 and knew I’d be back again. Amazing room. Spot on. High ceilings and spacious rooms which we loved. Staff are lovely and full of knowledge. Beds are soooo comfy. Bathroom was huge. Will definitely be returning for a third time next time we are in Edinburgh!!

Location. The bus stop into town was only 150 metres from the hotel. Numerous route options. Staff were very pleasant, offering help with luggage up the stairs. Novelty of naming rooms instead of numbering. The bathroom hot water took ages until warm enough.

Had a good time here, staff cleaned room everyday. Cant complain about that. A room was comfortable but over crowded due to size. Easy to get ro town many options with buses and never had to wait long . I think a little more orientation of the place when checking in wouldheld didnt dind the garden untill ready to leave . Could use a safe in room do to being on ground level and window was broken. Good convenient place ro lay your head down . Thanks

Our suite here was amazing. Tons of space, beautiful soaker tub, and overall, we had such a wonderful time here. It was nice to have the couch and table and chairs for sitting and the mini fridge was great for keeping some snacks. Would absolutely recommend. The only small downfall was the Holyrood suite faces the street on the first floor and with our window open to keep it cool at night it was a bit loud for such a quiet area. We absolutely loved the location. Walking distance to the main heart of the city but just outside so it was quiet and away from crowds. Dozens of fast food and dining places. Would stay here again.
