Enjoyed my real good stay for two nights. Everything was modern as expected, however the bathroom was a bit small. The breakfasts were always savoury with a great varied offering and toast. Stunning central location just off New Town and Old Town on Princes Street, the restaurant and bar/lounge area and Scotland for leisure or business. I ate at the casual restaurant near the hotel.

Everything here was superb, and the weather was lovely, greatly enjoyed it. The breakfast was extensive and good hot with a great varied offering, and the pool was clean. Every staff member was competent and hard-working. The location was convenient and handy, close to Co-op Food. The area was very very nice adjacent to the National Gallery, the restaurants on George Street, the Royal Botanical Garden, the Royal mile, Holyrood and the Castle, and central Edinburgh.
Well, the views were quite bad here.

The full Scottish breakfast was classic for £25 baked beans. Booked deluxe king room, had an extra special stay for the 2 nights we stayed she made us laugh. The location seemed fantastic and amazing in a converted train station. Plus, it was not far from the trams, Castle and town centre, the ‘ Grazing' restaurant, and all the best attractions.

Every time in Edinburgh, I choose this place. The breakfast choices are extensive and good hot with several foods and the chocolates, as for instance. The atmosphere is exclusive, extremely well trained staff who pay attention to detail and provide great service. It boasts convenient and decent location very close to tram stops, New Town, and of course Edinburgh Castle.
Views are very very bad.
