Excellent standard of rooms - top spec bathroom & top high Quality toiletries- nothing at all out of place , a credit to housekeeping! Breakfast has everything you would want, plentiful coffee fruit juice to choose from, plus the best smoked salmon around! Overall no faults. Fantastic location - you will not be disappointed by staying here.

Very good, the service is very enthusiastic. When we arrived at the hotel at night, the handsome guy at the front desk upgraded our room. It is super large with a living room and two washbasins. The environment is also very clean and tidy. It is very close to Edinburgh Railway Station. You can see the entrance of the railway station when you come out of the back door of the hotel. If I have the opportunity to come to Edinburgh next time, I will still choose this hotel

This is a century-old building with great historical value. The front desk staff is friendly, the rooms are neat and clean, and it is close to the supermarket and train station. It is close to Edinburgh's famous castle. It is a very convenient hotel for sightseeing. Next time I come to Edinburgh, I will choose this hotel.

Racial discrimination still exists. The first room I was assigned was on the second floor below ground. Later, after negotiation, I changed the room. I saw on 🍠 that someone else also encountered this situation.
