"Great value, clean & good location"

We stayed here overnight in Jan 2005. Booked through laterooms and got a double with ensuite & Breakfast for 45 pounds. The room was spotless, heating good and the location off Princess Street hard to beat. The airport bus picks you up right outside the door. As we had to leave so early (5am) and wouldn't be there for the breakfast they offered us an earlier time. We declined as we couldn't stomach any food at that time anyway. I would definatley stay again.

good location

was meant to be going to dublin but my boyfriend decided to look for his passport 5 minutes before we had to leave for the airport...couldnt find it so we couldnt go! he quickly booked up this hotel to make up for the weekend that he nearly ruined! so he didnt really have time to search for a perfect hotel but if we had we'd have probably picked this one anyway. great location, good prices. room, staff and breakfast were great. only negitive thing i can say is that the 'free wi-fi' was terrible, didnt work at all and when it did it was for about 2 seconds! we had quickly packed a laptop so we could plan our time in edinburgh as we kind of didnt have a clue where we were going or what there was to do. so the internet would have been really useful but we just relied on the many leaflets in the hotel and had a great time!!

One night was enough

This hotel specifically because of it's location. It was in a fantastic spot, only trouble is that when we were there the WHOLE of the front street had been dug up with repair works - which made is difficult to access the hotel as you physically couldn't drive into the street. Luggage had to be dragged for a bit. We had just taken a 24 hour flight from Australia, and then a 1 hour drive from Glasgow to arrive there just as it started to snow - and t was actually a little difficult to find because of all the road blockages around the surrounding streets. This I am sure was totally unavoidable. The staff were VERY friendly and helpful - whatever we wanted we got - and in an instant of asking for it. Was very happy with the service. The room was a little dated and not as bright and welcoming as they showed on their website. Something I have learned NOT to fully trust. But it was nice to get into a hot bath after a long flight. Bed was surprisingly comfortable. Ryan's Pub across the road was a fantastic spot for a meal and a beer! Kudos to the staff for recommending it!
