Great location and staff... My small room is perfect for a solo traveler... very clean and breakfast was top shelf but extra. No elevator or AC, which was no big deal for me but keep that in mind if those are things you need.

Great view from my top floor room, housekeeping was efficient and always finished before I came back in the early afternoon, front desk staff were great, and maintenance fixed a minor issue I experienced quickly. Great location and nice bed. Would go back!

The room was quite clean and they made it up nicely every day when we put the sign on our door. We liked the breakfast choices and the fruit, yogurt, bread etc. The location was great for us - getting to the train station, restaurants, and the Royal Mile took about 15 minutes walking, and the castle about 20. St.James Quarter (a nice mall) was five minutes away. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful!
