City centre access
Bang in the middle of town next to the bus station and not too far away from the railway station. The airport shuttle and the tram stop (Picardi place) from the airport are very close.

Excellent short break
Super location, got off the tram from the airport outside the hotel. Central to everything Edinburgh. Staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Breakfast was busy but we were warned by hotel of when the busiest time was if we wanted to avoid it, but the food was good and plentiful with a wide choice. I would definitely stay here again.

Great hotel, stayed here before so I knew it would be good. Great breakfast options, and staff were very friendly and helpful!!
Mitchell Ray, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A good place to stay
The room was clean and comfortable. The only downside was that our room was right next to a fire door, and on one morning the door banged continually with people going to and from breakfast. Other mornings it was open, so no problem.

Hotel is ideally placed for the Playhouse Theatre and close to lots of other attractions. Must mention the front of house staff who were all so helpful and friendly.
