Newly opened restaurant is lovely, beautiful view and nice breakfast. Location of hotel is very central and convenient for walking everywhere. Rooms are smaller and quite basic and could use some attention to a few maintenance type details, but overall a decent spot and an excellent location

Hotel is in a Great location. Very good breakfast. Very accommodating and super friendly staff. Hotel is very nice and clean. It rains a lot in Edinburgh so it was very nice to be in a hotel that has washer and dryer, specially the dryer to dry our soak clothes after long rainy walks! My family and I had a good experience!
