10/10 Excellent
"Fine hotel and an excellent choice if you have an early flight from Edinburgh Airport and need an airport hotel. The only downside is that there is no airport shuttle. Granted, the airport is only a 10 minute walk away but it's not feasible to walk it if you have lots of heavy luggage (as we did). We had to take a three minute cab ride for 17 pounds. But other than that, the hotel was clean, cheerful and comfortable, and did exactly what we needed it to do."

"Location was excellent in Old town, walkable to most of edinburgh. Rooms were very clean, plenty of tea/coffee/biscuits supplied each day which I loved. Plenty of space for luggages and to spread belongings around. Couldn't really hear the main road despite being so close to it and with construction going on right outside the hotel. Overall pleasant stay and would come again."

"Good for the price, although during the Festival it is considerably more expensive than when I tried it out for 1 night about 4 months ago. My only niggle is, could have more room in the shower, or a sliding door so one part of the area can stay dry. You will get your clothes wet from the floor when getting dressed"
