In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Staff consistently praised — Multiple reviews highlight the helpfulness, friendliness, and care of the team — from arranging taxis to accommodating late check-out.
  • Excellent location for exploring — Within easy walking distance of Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street Gardens, the Haymarket train station, and the city center.
  • Modern, clean rooms — Guests describe the rooms as clean, modern, and comfortable, with some offering castle views.
  • Practical amenities — Free Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, air conditioning, and a bar/lounge area add convenience for both business and leisure stays.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Compact room sizes — The 'Cosy' room categories suggest smaller spaces, which may suit short stays but feel tight for longer visits or groups.
  • Limited breakfast options — Guests note a bar and snack bar on site, but there's no full restaurant; breakfast items like pastries are available, not a full spread.
  • No on-site parking — The property does not list parking as an amenity, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.
  • Inconsistent room quality — One review praised a castle view and location, while another only noted a comfortable bed — views and room condition can vary by room type.
