    excellent wi-fi

    This hotel suits me perfectly with its excellent wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and a lovely bar area. On my first stay, the staff recommended a local taxi, which was so helpful. I appreciate the friendly service! I’ll be back for Xmas....

    fantastic location
    relaxing spa

    The location is fantastic, right on the Royal Mile. The pool was great, perfect for lounging after a long day. Our room had amazing views, and the spa was very relaxing.

    Felt very cared for, nothing to complain about.

    unique castle-like building, convenient tram access, modern decor

    Inconsistent room maintenance needs addressing!!! Lifts could be larger and brighter for easier access!!! Cleanliness should be prioritized to avoid any unwanted discomfort !!!

    Location in the heart of town makes getting around a breeze, especially on foot. The breakfast spread offers a broad selection of fresh items with enjoyable hot options.

    Parking woes loom large, given the tight spots and limited signage that makes the entrance tricky to locate. The bathroom lacked some essentials like washcloths, which might be missed but are mostly absent in the area, and the elevator can test your patience during busy hours. I had some issues with room cleanliness. a leftover tray lingered outside on our floor longer than I'd expect. Heat from the shower was all good, but a few items were overlooked during housekeeping, which fell short of initial expectations. these quirks didn't ruin the experience but were noticeable.

    central access to iconic sights and stunning park views

    I loved being just a few steps from St Giles' Cathedral and under 2 km from the breathtaking Arthur's Seat, which made my weekend explorations effortless and enjoyable. the staff were also incredibly helpful, providing excellent tips on local venues and how best to get around the area easily, making my stay even more delightful.

    Fantastic stay in the heart of the city!

    Had an awesome time! The staff were super friendly and helpful, and my room was really comfy. The mini pastries in the morning were a nice touch, but the heating didn't work well and it got chilly in the room. the location was spot on and I'd definitely recommend this place to others.

    The powerful shower in our bathroom was a highlight.

    The breakfast menu had limited options that should be expanded.
