    This was a great hotel. It was just off the Royal Mile and you have access to everything that you need. The room has wi-fi, and was roomier than some hotel rooms that I have been in, in London and Rome. The gym and sauna area were great for the end of the day workout or swim. I would definitely recommend this hoel to a friend.

    I have stayed in Travel Lodges with bigger better rooms with more comfortable beds at less than half the price. This is not worth the money, it's a rip-off and they think they can get away with it just because of its location.The smell of chlorine from the pool is everywhere in the Hotel. I suggested this hotel to three colleagues when I booked it based […] on their website information. Will never recommend again! Read more

    This hotel was awful. Considering its location I expected so much more. The rooms are cold, tatty and dirty. I asked to be moved because the heating did not work. In the second room it was no better and when I asked for a portable heater to be put in my room they sent up a fan! The dining room and food were ok.
