The hotel is ideally situated, facing the street right in front, with clean and comfortable rooms, yet lacking character. The service is inconsistent, with staff appearing overworked and unhappy while providing some welcome amenities like a drink on arrival. Despite some dining issues, the location is perfect for sightseeing and accessing various attractions. The facilities are decent, though the breakfast pricing may not be worth it for smaller appetites.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet and had no thoroughfare, which made for a peaceful night's sleep. While the room was a bit on the smaller side, it was perfectly fine for my one-night stay. Access to the hotel was easy, and I found the service to be excellent. The location was convenient, especially for visiting Waverley station and the Christmas markets. The dining experience was exceptional, with a great choice at breakfast. However, the hotel's size limited seating availability, and the absence of a lift made navigating the hilly location a bit challenging.

The hotel's location was great, offering easy access to the tram just a five-minute walk away. It was very convenient for exploring Princess St & Royal Mile, as well as being close to the Playhouse Theatre.

The hotel offers really nice rooms with nice decoration, clean, and comfortable, but be prepared to wait for their readiness. The service is exceptional, with a very friendly and efficient staff always ready to help. The location is ideal for easy access to the city center and major attractions. The dining experience, while the restaurant is friendly and courteous, could use improvements in customer service. Overall, a great value for money stay.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, but I did notice some noise from water and wastage along the corridor. The service was a bit hit or miss – some staff were friendly and professional, while others seemed less interested in attending to our needs. The location was amazing, right at the heart of the city, making it convenient for exploring. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with some food not quite up to standard. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, quiet, and had a lovely stocked mini-bar. The service from the reception staff was top-notch, and they were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The location was superb, just a stone's throw away from Princes Street in a peaceful area. The dining experience offered a great selection of delicious foods. However, be aware that the hotel is situated on a steep hill, which might be a bit challenging for some. Overall, a wonderful experience with great value for money.
