This hotel is super convenient from the tramstation and very easy access to the Royal Mile. It was easy to access all of the tourist spots with no problem. Many food and pub options in the area as well. Mornings were a bit on the noisy side with staff cleaning and turning rooms over. I had a great stay and recommend.

Staff friendly & helpful Hotel location great Short walk from Market Street exit from Waverley Station. Easy walk to Princess Street and a short walk to Royal Mile (although up hill). A few minor touch ups needed - bathroom door has some dents from room door hitting it and ketgle has to be moved to boik as sockets not near enough. Rm 701
