Enjoyed the location that was comfortable and premier and short walk to the main rail station as well as Edinburgh Waverley, the main train station. I had coffee at Hard Rock Cafe, located within 5 minutes walk. My standard double room was brand-new, reasonably priced. Everything was really good, including hot breakfasts with yogurt and croissants and view to Scott monument.
My room had not very good view.
