Great gem in great location - small niggles.
Great little hotel in brilliant central location with lovely views over Princes Street and the Balmoral Hotel (if in the bar area). Nice modern facilities and toiletries but our room was too hot ( window onto inside “courtyard” had to stay open all nice as air con wasn’t doing anything. Also other problem was the pull down tea/coffee shelf only opened behind the bathroom door so that was a pain to open/close it and call to person on other side of door that you needed to come out of bathroom. Otherwise a great place for reasonable price and fantastic location!!

Stayed for one night, very friendly and courteous staff. Took delivery of a mobility scooter for us as ours had broken down and enabled us to leave our scooter at the hotel for the day whilst we went out.
The only thing I would comment is that we had a fantastic bedroom which was mobility accessible including the bathroom with a walk in shower and grab rails but we could have took advantage of a shower chair to sit on as my husband is not able to stand for a shower. But overall it was excellent.

Great location and reception staff but thats where it ends…..
Rooms are way too small with little facilities.
Room attendants, made the bed and did little else….
Paid slightly under £300 for 2 midweek nights,

Wouldn’t recommend for couples
Room was tiny. In order to make a hot drink you had to shut the door to the bathroom. Had to leave the tap running as no way to keep water in sink. No view. After 3 nights we were more than ready to move on. It is handy to train station and for 1 person would probably be ok. No fridge. Only continental breakfast available.

Good location to train station - ok stay.
Not sure why I was put into an accessible room - meant that there was no surface space for toiletries and the sink was very low and I am only 5ft 4. The pillows were extremely thick and hard and the room was boiling hot, couldn't work the in room aircon/fan. The bathroom sink was dirty with brown stains. Disposal cups and drinks stirrers as opposed to china cups and metal spoons. Seems very un eco-friendly. Good location to the trainstation

Simple but nice.
Welcoming staff, efficient checkin. Room was nice if a little lacklustre- the plain white textured walls felt a bit dreary.
No mugs only paper cups which was a shame. I had a double which was actually two twins next to each other and i did sink into the middle dip a bit but generally a comfy bed. Double window system blocked out noise very well even though on a busy street opposite train station.
