Riktigt lugnt läge trots att hotellet ligger i centrala Edinburgh. Varmt på rummet och duschen gick att förstå sig över. Vattenautomat i korridoren, slapp att köpa dricksvatten. Välfungerande kyl på rummet för egen (frukost)mat och vattenkokare att göra kaffe/te/varm choklad med. Flera frukostställen i närheten, pubar och andra hotell. Tätt fönster och utsikt över innergård/tak så det var inget buller från trafiken heller. Gratis bagageförvaring. Kuddarna var mycket hårda och tjocka, men hittade en mjukare och lägre i skåpet. Digital-TV med programguide, lätt att se dagens tablå. I övrigt som vanligt på UK-hotell; lite knarrande golvplankor (under heltäckningsmattan) och tapet som börjat grina lite i kanterna.

Stayed mid week for business trip and it was quiet, super convenient central location (nice area and 10 min walk to station). Beds comfortable, luggage storage, fridge, cold water dispensers. Only downside no breakfast on site but Coop is 2 min walk or fancy places across street. Would stay again.

Very clean and well maintained hotel. Location is good, walking distance to major sights. Breakfast is nice as well. I was assigned a room faces to street, a bit noisy, but not a big problem. Overall, very satisfied.
