One of the best places I've ever stayed. Excellent service and the room is lovely! If I were to indicate something negative, I would say that the heating could be better, as it turned off at dawn and ended up getting a little cold. But I thought it was excellent and I not only intend to return but I will recommend it!

The hotel's location is fantastic, incredibly close to Old Town and historical landmarks.
Everything is within walking distance, so there's no need for public transportation, which is a big plus.
The cleanliness and amenities (like tea, coffee, and filtered water) were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
We appreciated how quickly they addressed our note about cleaning, resolving the issue promptly.
However, there's no on-site parking, which can add extra costs for those traveling by car.
Even with the discount voucher they provide, parking in the area remains expensive, as is typical in city centers.
A big thank you to the friendly and hospitable staff for their excellent service!

The hotel is in a great location, at the intersection of Victoria Street. It is very convenient to go to famous attractions such as the castle, the National Museum, the National Gallery, Prince Street, and the Royal Mile.
The service is good. It was midnight when I arrived at the hotel on the first day. I woke up the next morning and found a trash can outside the room window. After all, I had to stay for four days, so I asked to change rooms. The front desk patiently showed me three rooms and said that he hoped I would be happy here. In the end, I changed from the 2nd floor to the 4th floor, and the view was also good. It's a pity that I didn't ask the name of the staff.
The room was good except for the low water pressure and small water flow in the washbasin.
There are few varieties of breakfast. Cold dishes and yogurt bread are self-service, and hot food is ordered. I tried the entire menu for four days, and the products are pretty good.

Overall it is quite nice. Very good privacy with the curtains seperating each pod from outside and decent amount of storage space. The bathrooms are also okay. The location is also in the middle of the touristy royal mile but it wont be noisy. Reasonable and good price for solo travellers!

The location was great for sightseeing.
Although we had booked a twin room we actually had 4 beds. The room was clean & warm.
One lift wasn’t working but the other was quick & efficient.
The bar was good during the day but quite noisy at night & into the early hours.
We liked being able to use the luggage store.
I noticed there was a laundry which we didn’t need to use but I feel this is a good facility.

Comfortable room good service and there is one sweet lady staff made my day. She is patience listening what I have been thru and gave me a complimentary breakfast. I would like to thank her but I forgot to look at her name tag, when I check out she was off duty. Not sure is she Kajo. Other staffs are friendly as well.

A pleasant stay. Hotel room clean and tidy as was reception and dining. Staff were friendly though housekeeping was slow and had not cleaned my room when I was out for the day, so I returned to an unmade room. Because I’d travelled the night before, after a morning and early afternoon out, I wanted daytime rest and housekeeping walked in on me when I was taking a short nap late afternoon. Said they’d be back in an hour but when they came in I was showering so the room didn’t get made up as they were now going off duty. Offered to replenish my coffee, so at least made a gesture.
Otherwise a pleasant stay. Nicely located in the heart of the city just minutes away from local attractions, the ferris wheel and the train station.

Alright location for the price, the receptionist seemed a bit passive aggressive and the front desk was always never open when we passed it. The beds were clean and kettle was provided. No toothbrush or water though. Pretty average place but it’s nice enough.

GGuest UserGreat location for our trip to celebrate Hogmanay. You can’t get a better location for the festivities for the Princess street party. Traveling with a baby, they already had the cot in the room before we had arrived which was great. The staff were super kind and attentive at concierge and reception. Breakfast had a good selection if you a hot Scottish breakfast. Only downside was the parking which was a 5 min drive away ( we weren’t packing light!) Overall, solid experience

GGuest UserThis hotel is a short walk to and from from the airport. The staff were always polite and helpful. The room was clean and quiet. The lifts were a bit slow, but you could use the stairs. The lounge is huge and the breakfast included vegan options. I only wish there had been a fridge in the room.

GGuest UserAbsolutely fantastic hotel. I've been going to Edinburgh for well over 30 years and stayed on this occasion for my 50th. I could not have picked a nicer place. Friendly family ran hotel, nothing too much trouble. Our room was just perfect. Huge room a very comfy bed and modern bathroom. The location is perfect, being right by Haymarket Train Station and the tram system. Believe me, I've stayed right in the centre and down Leith end but this location is perfect, close to the main centre but quiet enough of a night. Keep up the fabulous work, I'll be back.

GGuest UserAwful hotel that is definitely not 4* and the service is not at Hilton level at all….
The hotel goes under the renovation and there were only 2 lifts with queues and they are also used by the staff too
We had a room for 3 people and had all set up for two people only, the room was dirty with hair in the shower and the ceiling.
When I took the shower the pipe was blocked and the water started to leak to the bathroom… yes they sorted the problem quite quickly but still was not great experience
There were no slippers and bathrobes. I asked for x3 slippers and they brought only one pair. I asked again and they brought only one pair again. On the third time they brought two pairs…. When I asked for 3!!! And still no bathrobes. We asked for additional blanket and it was in a random location after the room was cleaned.
The room was cleaned badly on the next day we stayed. My pajamas was thrown elsewhere and I found it on the table, the towels we put on the floor to be replaced were fold dirty on the shelves… the blanket was in a random location and the cleaner did not pay any attention at all left the room dirty. Very disrespectful
I felt that I had to beg for the things we are supposed to get in this kind of hotels. Shocking!!!
Yes they compensated with a complimentary breakfast which was good but still the service was bad. They sent the cleaner and by the time she came we were already sleeping. And she did not speak any English … very disappointed

GGuest UserLovely groups and views.
Comfortable bed and reasonable sized room, but the shower curtain was smelly, and we had to ask for it to be changed. It took several phone calls and nearly an hour before someone came and changed it.
Breakfast was quite good, but no eggs benedict offered, which was disappointing.
Unfortunately, the pool was packed with children and families who didn't appear to be stating at the hotel, and the timings for adults only swimming were before breakfast and after dinner. I did not consider this a proper 5-star hotel facility since it seemed less private and more public baths. Having seen how busy the golf was, I felt maybe this isn't a private membership golf and spa hotel anymore.
All in all, I did have a comfortable stay but found the hotel not private enough to make it a special experience, which is what I expected for the price and given its previous reputation in the community and in reviews.

AAlex Cheung HMSituated in the Old Town area, it is just 15 minutes walking distance from the Edinburgh Waverley Station and there are lots of good restaurants and bars nearby. Rooms of the hotel are not that spacious (and some of them do not have a window so it is rather dark if you turn off everything) but is just right fit for everyone. The staff is very helpful and friendly too. Will definitely come again.
3.7/5
GGuest UserThe room was much better than expected, clean and comfortable. Self-service check-in and check-out were quick and convenient. If you don't know how to use it, you can call and ask for patient guidance. If you don't know how to use the access control, you can ask the staff. The location is far from the city center and various attractions, about 30 minutes walk, but you can take the bus.
In summary, it is still a good choice. After all, hotels in Edinburgh are crazy expensive. I will stay in this hotel again.
