Everything was good during 2 days, liked its marvellous and perfect location not far from Royal Mile, many buses and the garden in the summer.

Marvellous and unbeatable location to a combined museum. Set next to the garden in the summer, many buses leading to the center and the bus stops in the fairly quiet area.

I had a good-sized and brand-new room with clean bathroom. Got very big bed and free Wi-Fi. The location was particularly good, for example, a public research university was just a pleasant stroll away from the hotel.

The location seemed particularly good close to centre. Popped in Tony's Fish Bar for shots before sleep, it was at a moderate distance from the venue.

Appreciated our 2 nights here. Edinburgh airport was hardly 24 minutes away by car. Too bad that we didn't have time, but we would return there.
Nothing that i didnt like.
