The hotel offers clean and adequate rooms, finished to a good standard. The service was welcoming and efficient, with helpful instructions provided, while the central location is ideal for exploring the city. The dining experience was a bit slow but traditional meals were offered. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor flaws.

The hotel room was basic for a night's stay but in an ideal location. It was clean and modern, with lovely quirky little extras. However, it was next to stairs, leading to some noise when people opened the door.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, being very close to the castle and other attractions, but the noise levels were bothersome. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster, with some helpful gestures like adjusting the heating and being friendly, but also an issue with noisy staff. The dining options were varied but lacked speed and efficiency. The rooms had a unique style with Edinburgh map wallpaper, but the space was limited and there was a leak issue. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

I chose this hotel mainly for its excellent location, just a three-minute walk from The Royal Mile and on The Grassmarket with its great pubs and restaurants. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and equipped despite being at the top rear of the building. The service was outstanding, as the staff were extremely helpful, even rectifying issues promptly. The Grassmarket area is stunning, filled with charming cafes, pubs, and shops.

The hotel is perfectly located for anyone wanting to soak up the vibrant atmosphere of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The rooms offer a prime view of Victoria Street, though the proximity to the stairs can be a bit noisy. The service is friendly and attentive, and the central location is ideal for exploring the city's highlights. However, the dining experience in the adjacent pub may not meet everyone's expectations.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and some drawbacks. The rooms were large and spacious, quiet despite being on a busy street, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the room being next to the stairs made some noise every time it opened, and the sloped roof was a bit problematic as my granddaughter bumped her head. On the bright side, the breakfast offered plenty of choices.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were small and challenging to navigate for two people. Despite that, my top-floor room was surprisingly spacious, comfortable, and had an impressive shower room. The service was good, with pleasant and helpful staff, but additional charges for breakfast were a downside. The location was superb, right near Edinburgh Castle and other attractions. The dining experience, mainly in the neighboring pub, was a bit overpriced and disappointing. However, the facility offered a unique, quirky room design and a great discount on car parking.
