The breakfast at the place was nice hot with a great view into the city. The venue was in a central location near to Princes Street, near to both Waverley station and St Andrew's Sq, all attractions and transport links, and the bus stops and the tram stops.

The hotel's location was very central, to everything in the city. The staff was lovely and we could use wake up service and ironing free of charge.
Views were not so great.

Our standard double room was complete with beyond comfortable beds, a great view, as example. It was in a marvellous location in front of the Waverley train station. Also, St George's Hall Liverpool was at a short distance.

The location was unbeatable and brilliant for me, right opposite Waverley station. The management was lovely, as well as the staff. The bathroom in my double room was newly renovated.
The location was terrible.

Possibly the best and just perfect stay for an overnight or short holiday. Very comfortable building, extremely pleasant and tastefully decorated rooms. Absolutely superb views of the castle. Very pleasant area, central location close enough to restaurants, shopping, buses, and historical sites like the castle, all public transport and the major attractions. Plus, walking distance to a memorial park.
Cold breakfast.
