An exceptionally wonderful hotel. Great location with walking distance to Waverly Railway Station (i.e. the main/central railway station), Highland and Loch Ness tour buses, city sightseeing buses, the majority of the sightseeings in Edinburgh, St James Quarter (i.e. a nice shopping center), many stores, shops, restaurants, cafes etc. Nice, clean and quiet room with comfortable beds, with iron and ironing board. Nice gym, swimming pool and sauna on the third floor. Nice (breakfast) restaurant and a bar, nice breakfast, great staff everywhere, fast and nice check-in and check-out. We highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely come back to this hotel.

대부분 걸어 다닐수 있을만큼 위치가 좋아요. 다시 간다고 해도 이곳에 머물듯 합니다.

I read the reviews that Chinese people would be assigned bad rooms. I stayed there for two days, one was a basement trash can room, the other was a disabled room, and there was no prior notice. I found out after entering the room. It's hard not to think of differential treatment. The attitude of the front desk seemed good, but it was actually very mean. Bad review

The hotel is in a great location. There is a direct elevator on the second floor of the train station to Prince Street, and then you can walk to the hotel in a few minutes. It is a flat road without climbing a slope, which is very rare. You can walk to various attractions, and the Chinese food in Edinburgh is also good. The hotel front desk service attitude is very good, you can store your luggage, the decoration is relatively new, the room is large, there is a bathtub and shower room, and the sound insulation is very good. Disposable slippers are provided. No deposit is required, everything is beyond expectations

The room is not big, but it is clean overall. It is a good deal for two people to stay. The location is OK. Those who don't pursue the quality of service can stay here. The facilities are basic. The environment is OK. It is noisy on the crying side.
