Staff were so friendly and helpful, location was amazing. Room was very basic (though nicely finished), and there were renovations going on so the floor seemed like a bit of a building site at times. Seemed very expensive for what it was - but I guess that’s Edinburgh in July for you.

Friendly staff and very clean. Is well located next to necessary amenities and things to see. Very lovely location. Only complaint is that there is no fridge in the rooms. Would have at least loved a ice dispenser on the floors to accommodate that.

Receptionist was awesome! Worked Thursday 26th around 11am! Room was incredibly warm, air conditioning didn’t work, just circulated air, the smell of cigarettes from the workmen on site as they smoked right outside the front door was awful.
