The hotel is in an excellent location, with a tram and bus station right outside. It's just a few minutes' walk to Princes Street and the St James Shopping Centre, and there's a Tesco Express nearby. Additionally, numerous restaurants and cinema options are within walking distance.

This hotel is well situated relatively close to Waverley station. Easily walked. An Edinburgh tram stop is situated right outside. The room was well appointed and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was excellent and the shower as hot as you would want. The breakfast was really good with a great choice and was of course included in the booking price. Would certainly stay there again.
