The hotel is in the best location you could wish for. Everywhere is walking distance and the views look out over Princes street and the castle. I was really happy with the price because of the location
The initial foyer and dining room are nice enough. The rooms are a decent size and clean enough. But you stay here for the location. I think overall it’s good value. However, over a couple of days the lifts and hallway was a bit smelly
The main issue here isn’t external noise, it’s noise from the hallway inside. The walls must be thin because it sounded like people were inside my room! It was not helped because they had a large group of teenagers staying at the same time who were shouting in the halls and banging on doors. I can’t blame the hotel for this (they couldn’t know what they would do) but it really emphasised how easily sound travels inside
Staff were lovely and friendly and will do anything to help. Breakfast was lovely
Last thing is the bar. I had a drink, it’s tasted horrible, but staff told me that’s how it should taste……definitely not. So I had to just pour it away
Anyway, if you want central location, you will
Not find a better price and for that price, the hotel is nice enough.
