Amy Takayoshi
We stayed here on a tour, and there were a lot of great things about this hotel! Firstly, location was fantastic. Right off the grassmarket and with a view of the castle from below, we were able to get anywhere between the new and old town within ~10-15 minutes. Secondly, the staff was great. Super helpful, welcoming, and kind. Thirdly, the breakfast was very good! The reason for the 3 stars is th...

Apartment was great, good location. Staff were super friendly with the exception of person who checked us out. We had approval to extend our checkout at no additional cost, however this staff member insisted we pay for it even after showing messages which confirmed there would be no charge up until time requested, however if we did extend any further (which we didn’t), there would be a charge. Ver...

And while I paid for early arrival, it wasn’t much earlier than checkin ( and I actually watched other people fr...

I loved this place! Stayed here for four nights and it was a delight. It is centrally located and within a 10 to 20-minute walk to everything that there is to see in the lovely city of Edinburgh.

We arrive after an 8hr+ flight, told the front desk that we had ...

All the staff were excellent and helpful. The room was excellent and very clean, well appointed. The location is great, very walkable to many great sites in the area, including Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Dean's Village, etc. If I could give 6 stars for service, I would. Angela helped us out of a bind that was completely our mistake, and went well above and beyond. Thank you so much!
