The room is very clean and the front desk service attitude is very good ~ The hotel is very close to the train station and the Royal Mile (transportation, dining, and shopping are very convenient!)

It’s very near royal mile but to get to the hotel with luggage from Edinburgh Waverley station, it can be quite tiring! For a no stairs & few cobble stones route, walk up cockburn street (it’s an uphill slope!), then walk down Blair street, followed by cowgate street. It’s the least painful walk! 😂 We really loved our room. Only issue was that the water drainage was very slow. Nearby food recommendations: Jimmy’s Express (Chinese food).

There was a door between two rooms it basically feels like you are sharing your room with others. You can hear people’s voices/conversations. Room smells like dust. Overall ok, good location and basic breakfast included to price. You can see shortcut close to hotel from royal mile/ black watch

Hotel is located in the mid point between Edinburgh and the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Edinburgh castle can be reached within 15 - 20 minutes walking distance. Room is not too big but comfortable enough and breakfast is decent, although not much change. There are several at several restaurants located in South Bridge Road, including a Chinese and a Japanese restaurant and a few other Asia restaurants. The Waverley train station is about 15 minutes walking distance away. All-in-all, a good value booking. For visitors looking for hotels nearer to the Royal Mile area, may want to try the Radisson or Ibis hotels.

早餐不錯,選擇蠻多的,特別是牛奶不是冰的很好。門口電梯不是特別好,吃完早餐電梯不工作最後衹能走上去了。
