Lovely hotel, clean and comfortable. Some outside noise in the night was the only problem.

Convenient location

Right across the street from Waverly Station. Beautiful views of Old Town during breakfast. The room was small, but cozy and had everything we needed. Great hotel for the price.

Ashley, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel and Staff were amazing, cannot fault in any way! Our room on the surface looked excellent but it was superficial, we booked a city view king room! View was incredible, large bed was great! But the flooring was all coming up and snagged clothes! Back of bathroom door was scuffed and hook hanging off! Just not quite the finish expected as per the rest of the hotel and the price paid!
Jodie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Location!

Wonderful hotel opposite Waverley station! Only criticism I would make is there is only 1 lift and if not working it’s a walk to first floor reception! I was on the 3rd floor so not ideal for the less able! The lift didn’t work on the 2nd morning!! Overall a really nice hotel. Would stay here again!
Andy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this hotel! It’s highly recommended and one of the few hotels in tow with air conditioning.

Beautiful Hotel

This was our second stay at this wonderful hotel. The ease of checking in, the proximity to the train station and being in the heart of everything makes this our favorite place to stay when in Edinburgh.
Shelley, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel was in a perfect location.
Jennifer, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved my stay. The location is conveniently across from the train station, next to shopping and dining options and a short walk to the Royal Mile. The room was great, and the breakfast was excellent. The lift was not working during my stay, so if you have accessibility needs I would check with the hotel first.

A stay you’ll want to extend

The design elements of the hotel and the rooms were beautiful and fun. All the modern comforts you would want in the rooms, with a great restaurant and a gorgeous bar and lounge on the lobby level. Will definitely stay here when I’m back.
