I selected this hotel because it was a) close to the shopping district in Edinburgh b) it was well priced relative to other hotels 3) it was an apartment style hotel which gave allowed us to be more comfortable for a longer stay.
What we liked about the hotel:
- The staff were super helpful and friendly
- The room was actually a 1 bedroom apartment, which allowed us to have a space for sleeping that was separate from the bathroom/kitchen/living space (great for people handling jet lag)
- There was a washer in the room, and a rack to hang clothes to dry (so helpful!). There were also instructions on how to use all the appliances: dishwasher, coffee machine, etc.
- The location was close to everything we needed, but tucked away from the fray.
What could have been better:
- The safe wouldn't lock and the black out blind buttons weren't responding. I'm sure that I could have asked those to be fixed, but we were always on the go so never got around to it
- The lobby is tiny, and there wasn't a place for meeting hanging out as you enter.
- There were what seemed a hundred fire doors from the lobby to our room, which made it hard to navigate with luggage.
That said, the negatives were pretty small relative to the value. I recommend this place, and I would stay there again in the future.
