Everything about my stay there was great. I recommend eating out in town. The hotel restaurant was not that good, but the surrounding restaurants are amazing. The Spa there was ok.

The room was very nice, updated. The bathroom was modern, spa-like with a great walk-in shower that had plenty of water power. The large television was also a plus. Location was a little bit of a walk uphill to the central area of the Royal Mile, but still in a good area. Overall, a very pleasant stay for us and would definitely go back again.

Brilliant location for exploring Edinburgh, lovely staff in the main and great room. what lets it down is the attention to detail, the brass plates on the doors for example covered with finger prints and not cleaned whilst we were there, sand on our floor (sorry) and not hoovered, breakfast not kept replenished even though we were right in the middle, tables not wiped properly otherwise wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel
