Down for the rugby
It’s a nice enough hotel in a great location… like the majority of Edinburgh hotels though it’s eye wateringly expensive for what it is…

Great hotel. Well located.
Receptionists friendly and helpful on check in. Swapped our room after I booked wrong type. Hotel well appointed. Room small but comfortable with everything we needed. Mould in shower would be my only complaint.

Hot in March
The bedrooms do not have A/C. We were initially in 5018 but it was too warm- if the window was opened there was too much noise from a fan exhaust vent on a wall outside. We sweated through one night and got moved to a quieter cooler room on the 2nd floor for our 2nd night.
