Nice size rooms, staff responsive and courteous. Nice location.
Lynn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great location in New Town, close to the action but just far enough away to be restful. The front desk staff were friendly, and the room was well equipped and comfortable.

Quiet, clean and convenient. Will definitely come again.
Mary, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location but generally unimpressed with the room for the cost. Beds moderately comfortable, bathroom very small with kids sized toilet. Just didn't compare to the hotel we had earlier in the trip in London for about the same cost. They do a nice job with what they have but again for the $$ I will probably look elsewhere. Reception staff very nice and accommodating. Offered to hold our bags at check out if we wanted to explore more.
Erik, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful value, very up to date and great location.
Anthony, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely, spacious and clean hotel room with friendly, helpful staff. The room we stayed in was VERY noisy on a Friday night as it's across the street from a bar where drunken people partied outside until the wee hours and we had an early morning flight to catch.
Allison, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location in New Town. Pretty quiet in the evenings compared to the tourist crush in Old Town. Tons of great restaurants a short walk from hotel, but kitchens may close early. Staff was professional but not overly friendly. Hotel was clean and modern.

Fabulous location to explore Edinburgh. Breakfast at Rabble was brilliant; we include a family of 3 Ceoliac and lots of options for us. The room was a great size for the 4 of us. Would stay here again
