Located directly opposite the playhouse
Breakfast nice, but very chaotic as not much room with amount of guests so would advise to go early rather than later

This holiday is just a 12 minute walk from the Waverley station and it’s right in the city centre. Access to most of the shopping areas and the Christmas market was short and easy, within 15 mins walking distance. The hotel itself was very crowded and a bit cramped. Breakfast area was crowded but well stocked although the food was just alright.
Hotel was clean. One house keeping staff knocked on our door twice and I am not sure what she wanted. It was way before our check out time. This was a bit annoying but otherwise the stay was good.

Hotel is in a fantastic location across from the playhouse and st james quarter.
Check in was speedy, we had a room on basement level. The room was spotless. Comfortable bed. Amenties in the room as youd expect
Iron/iron board
Hairdryer
Full length mirror
Tea/coffee/biscuits etc
Soap/shampoo/conditioner
Only minor things i personally would want included in the room but would not deter me from staying again, would be a mirror on the wall where the desk is.
We had a couple of drinks at the bar, drinks were reasonably priced abd delicious. Only minor complaint is that the chairs are not overly comfortable, you couldnt sit for any great length of time.
Given where the hotel is located and our room was street side (025), there was quite a bit of noise, i would suggest booking a room away from street side. I did eventually get a good nights sleep.
Breakfast was simple but tasty, small selection of :
Bacon
Sausages
Scrambled eggs
Hash browns (were mushy/soft, not crunchy as they should be)
Beans
Toast
Muffins
Pastries
Tea/coffee
Orange/apple juice
All in all, would recommend staying here.

Great location for Theatre, airport tram and shops. Just a short walk to old town and the castle. Buffet breakfast had good choice and nice hot food.

Easy access from the airport via Tram; drops you off at the hotel doorstep. So much is within walking distance like the National Museum, St. James Quarter (shopping mall), Scottish Parliament, Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh Castle and the Train station. Rooms were clean, good housekeeping and quiet. No mini-fridge or microwave but there is a kettle and hair dryer.

Only stayed at the hotel for one night, but everything about it was good although there very little parking at the hotel, front desk to gave me a discount code for Omni parking, which is across the street. We had two twin beds, which were very comfortable and a very clean room. Breakfast in the morning was fantastic. Lots of varieties to choose from! Front desk staff were extremely helpful in providing maps of the area

Overall, very nice and served the purpose for our stay! Would stay here again. Breakfast options, a tad limited but that’s okay. We did have an issue of our key card being taken out that would operate the AC/heat and then them taking the card so we would have to go to reception and ask for a new one. Other than that, a great stay.

This property was a disaster. They gave us the room in a basement right in front of 2nd level underground parking . Room was claustrophobic, beds were literally a cot not hygiene and very unsafe for kids . It was so stinky .
