5.0 star ratingHotel in excellent location to shops & restaurants. 5 min walk from station/city centre. Room was spacious clean. Staff were all very helpfull. Would recommend.22 November 2008
2.5 star rating Friendly helpful staffWe were given a room on the 6th floor which, we later discovered, is exclusively for smokers despite telling the receptionist that we would like a non smoking room when she mentioned it. We thought that all hotels were now non smoking and perhaps the foreign receptionist had made a mistake when suggesting that we had booked a 'smoking' room. The room had a strong smokey atmosphere and spoiled our stay. Breakfast self serve area is very cramped. Tea and coffee facilities would be better placed at the end of the line so that customers who wish to get more do not have to join a queue again.26 November 2008

5.0 star ratingLocation is everything! Right in the centre of Edinburgh, it's directly across from the Playhouse Theatre. Our room was spotless, and quiet at night. Free continental breakfast was the icing on the cake - lots of choice, fresh and delicious! Can't wait to return! 09 December 2008

5.0 star ratingIdeal for a sightseeing/shopping weekend visit to Edinburgh. Room must have been at back as we did not hear any street noise during night. Just as I like it. Room spotlessly clean.03 January 2010

4.0 star ratinglocation great after show at the playhouse theatre20 March 2012
4.5 star ratingGreat location, no problems.At check out the reception clerk ask me to pay for the room which I had already paid for through the internet. Luckily I had the foresight to print my receipt, he gave me the impression he did not believe I had paid. He even excused himself to leave me at the desk while he went to speak to someone behind closed doors. Very embarrassing for me left standing at reception with other people waiting to checkout. After that at the breakfast self service the assistant told me breakfast finished at 9.30 weekdays, I was now about 9.40 because of the hold up at reception but she said I could go ahead. Did I really enjoy breakfast, not after those two experiences. Billy J14 November 2012
