8.7Verified guest“This hotel ticks all my boxes: free Wi-Fi, a gym, and an indoor pool. I remember my first stay when the staff helped me with plug adaptors. For a great experience, make sure to use the spa. I'll be back for Christmas!”
8.7Verified guest“The staff are well-trained, and the views of Edinburgh Castle are absolutely superb. Everything is second to none. The rooms are nicely decorated and a good size, with coffee facilities, a lounge area, and lovely wooden floors. A nice touch is the alcoholic beverages in the main bar.”
8.7Verified guest“The hotel has a very central location, and you can quickly reach the Royal Mile, Edinburgh's main street. It's a maximum 10-minute walk, and it was very pleasant. Since you're not right in the historic Old Town, it's also easy to explore the New Town, which has plenty to visit.”
8.7Verified guest“We had a brand-new deluxe twin room with a view of the castle, and super comfy beds. The location was excellent, just next to Festival Square.”
8.7Verified guest“The service is nice, and guests can park their cars on site.”
8.7Verified guest“The porters were very helpful when I was unpacking and repacking my car, and they transported my luggage.”
