This place was great! Nice, clean, spacious rooms and bathrooms. Very modern amenities. A great location - only 5 min walk to the Royal Mile and a 4 min walk to the train station. Staff was super friendly and accommodating (holding our luggage for the day after we checked out) Would definitely stay there again when visiting Edinburgh!

It was conveniently located. Super close to everything from the train station to the royal mile. We were there for our honeymoon and loved our room with a view of the North Sea. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone. This was a great find on Expedia. Also, try the full Scottish breakfast from the hotel’s restaurant and the cocktails from the bar.
