The staff at the hotel were really nice, and the facilites are well maintained. The area around the hotel is quiet, and there are some places to have a decent meal. The location is just 10 minutes from the central station, a big plus!! Price worthy.

The two-bedroom apartment was wonderful! Comfortable beds, nice and clean, and a beautiful view onto a quiet neighborhood but still within easy walking distance to everything you’d need in Edinburgh. It’s a great place to stay with very friendly staff.

I was upgraded to a very large "apartment" but it had no coffee maker or other snacks, it was odd...I had gotten used to these things on my previous two weeks in Scotland and this hotel had nothing at all in the room BUT the street and staff were lovely and helpful.

The room was very small, the bathroom door didn’t shut, the bed was horrible. Felt a little claustrophobic. staff was very friendly though. The royal walk is not that close, about a 15 minute walk from the hotel. If you are staying for a day or 2, it’s fine, longer than that, it’s a nope for me.
