Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel in Edinburgh's New Town was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms, though not exactly as deluxe as shown in the pictures, offered cozy amenities like a sofa, coffee table, and desk with a view. The service was welcoming, including a nice touch with a welcome drink. The location couldn't be better, with easy access to public transport and close proximity to must-see sights. The dining experience, while with some limitations on breakfast timing, definitely impressed with the Scottish breakfast option. Overall, a comfortable stay with great value for exploring charming Edinburgh.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were quiet and provided a great view of the city and sea. The service was top-notch, and the location was super ideal with essential spots just a short walk away. Dining was tasty, and the facilities were exceptional.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room, although not the cleanest, offered a nice view towards the sea and was comfortable overall. However, the lighting for makeup was lacking. The location was convenient and central, perfect for exploring the city on foot, but it was a bit farther than expected from the center. The service was friendly, and the welcome drink was a nice touch. The dining options were limited, leading me to search for breakfast elsewhere, given our early schedule. However, the vegetarian choices were appreciated. The facilities were good, but nothing extraordinary stood out.
