Staff at the front desk is very nice, Sri offered us room upgrade to king bed with Castle view after we signed up for ASR rewards. Rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are clean. Breakfast buffet is really good with a variety of options and the staff is friendly. Overall we enjoyed staying 2 nights, the area is nice, walkable to bus stops, restaurants and the old town.
Usman, 2-night trip

Great location. Breakfast was good. Hotel is renovated, but the core of the building is dated. I was given a room for disabled persons and unfortunately the shower was just an open shower head in the bathroom - no curtain or shower enclosure.

Excellent location and the staff attention is top notch.
Sarah, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

The location was excellent — tram, bus, and train access was very convenient, and the city bus tour stop was also nearby. Many key attractions, like the Castle and the old market area, were within walking distance. However, the washroom, especially the shower area, could be improved. There were exposed hot pipes, which felt unsafe. Aside from that, the staff were friendly and everything else was good.
Abdul, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Fantastically appointed rooms, centrally located walking distance from the Royal Mile and Calton Hill, the National Galleries, Princes St Gardens. Excellent staff.

Post renovations, I imagine this property will be amazing, but at this time there is major construction going on, so it is LOUD from ~7 am thru late afternoon. All staff were kind, courteous and quickly responsive.
