I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were bright, clean, and well-maintained, with a comfy bed and fresh towels. The peaceful location between two streets made it so quiet, although the room was a bit small. The service was outstanding, with very friendly and accommodating staff. The location was excellent, just a short walk to pubs and restaurants, with easy access to buses and trams for sightseeing. The dining experience was a bit chaotic, but there was a good selection of cereals. Overall, a modern and comfy hotel with a great location.

My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms had everything I needed for both a short and long stay, and the castle view from my room was absolutely breathtaking. The rooms were immaculate and felt brand new, although they were a bit on the smaller side almost feeling 2-dimensional. The service was beyond helpful and caring, with the staff always being really nice, welcoming, and polite. They even took the time to recommend great places to visit and eat. The location was super convenient, being centrally located just around the corner from Grassmarket with easy access to both the Old Town and a nice stroll to New Town. The view of the castle from my room was picture-perfect, and the area was surrounded by charming bars and restaurants, offering a more peaceful setting away from the busy high street shops. The dining experience was good overall, although there were a few hiccups, and the facilities were lovely to use. Two minute walk access to several pubs/restaurants at Grassmarket and easy transportation options made exploring the city a breeze.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were conveniently located near everything but were too warm during the night. The high-quality furnishings and cleanliness were impressive, although the small window close to the ceiling was a drawback. The service was friendly and helpful but had some issues, and the location was excellent, offering easy access to all parts of Edinburgh. The dining experience was decent with some good options but also had its shortcomings. Overall, there were positives and negatives to consider during my stay.
