Great central location, nice room, power shower, tea/coffee facility, iron, hairdryer, fridge. Good value, central location :)
Jody
Beautiful building. Central location where you can walk to everything. Loved the bay window and bench seat.
Radhika
Stay away from this property if you care about your personal safety and cleanliness.
The property has a shared and open luggage room that can be accessed by any guest. The rooms have mould on the ceilings, marks on the mattress, including hair, spring was broken on mattress, broken outlets and dust everywhere.
When I requested a change/refund due to the mold and other considerations, including a broken mattress, I was denied and the room cost $350. Staff were rude and short with me throughout the visit and appeared to be resentful of working there.
Stay anywhere but here if you care about having a pleasant stay. It is not a real 4 star hotel - a hostel is cleaner.
Please be aware there is constant, loud construction noise from 9-5 everyday next to the property.

Great for one night stay.

Staff is great! and the breakfast they offered was probably the best breakfast offered by any hotel around. rabble makes some really good food!
Erin
Perfect in every way, except don’t trust your GPS to find it. Search for “Rosa’s Thai”. The hotel entrance is right across the street.
Yi Jie Talia
Luggage storage available for us since we were there early and room was not ready. Manager at desk was friendly too. Location was walkable to Edinburgh Castle as well. Delicious brunch cafe across d street as well

Barb
Great location to explore both the old and new town of Edinburgh. Lots of shops and restaurants close by. Very walkable and safe. I'd recommend a room off the main street as it was a little noisy at night. This is not a fancy hotel, but is a good value. Staff were excellent.

The hotel was in a great location just off the main road that takes you down to the Scott Monument and beyond. I had a single room which was perfect for just me. The staff were really kind and polite and helpful also. I would definitely stay here again.
Mark

The towels were fluffy and the shower was hot! Bed was a little hard, but room was clean nonetheless.

Stayed for a weekend watching rugby. Perfect location for the city and a quick uber to the stadium. Hotel was just what we needed.
Stephanie

Great breakfast offered across the road. We didnt have it included in our hotel cost but we got 20% discount as hotel guests!
The food was amazing! Great Variety 👍

Not much need for contact with staff. Facilities very limited. Super location and hygiene/ cleanliness very good .There are no breakfast ( or dining facilities) on site, you have to go across the road for breakfast. Breakfast was plentiful but arrived cold
Valerie
Had a lovely time at this hotel. It was situated well for shopping and theatre no more than 15 minute walk. Will definitely stay again when in Edinburgh
Elizabeth

Great hotel, nice rooms and great location
Julie
Great location, if you have a room at the front it is very noisy at the weekend due to a bar across the street
David
The room was clean and comfy. However, the bathtub was too high, making it inaccessible for one of us who has mobility issues. Also, there are steps coming into the property. This should be a consideration for others who use mobile devices.
Kathleen
The hotel was very neat and clean. The staff were very helpful. The position of the hotel was in easy walking distance of many major shops and restaurant. Easy and affordable ride in a taxi from the train station. Will definitely revisit this hotel again in the future.

Woman on evening shift was very helpful and kind.
Norma
Comfortable bed and good bathroom but far too hot to sleep as no air con. I was given a tiny fan which wasn’t much use. No facilities such as restaurant, lounge and bar. Location good but not worth the money.
Erin
The hotel was great. Big windows, great architecture in the hotel and in a really accessible spot. They provided fans as well for the rooms which was great because it doesn't have AC and we went in July. Can be a bit noisy at night time but it quiets down around midnight. To be expected based on the location
Erik
Great location but generally unimpressed with the room for the cost. Beds moderately comfortable, bathroom very small with kids sized toilet. Just didn't compare to the hotel we had earlier in the trip in London for about the same cost. They do a nice job with what they have but again for the $$ I will probably look elsewhere. Reception staff very nice and accommodating. Offered to hold our bags at check out if we wanted to explore more.
Eleanor
Great location if you want to walk around Edinburgh. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable! The room was clean and very nice. The bathroom was also exactly what you want and need. If there was one thing constructive to say, the mattress was super hard and I found it uncomfortable
But I would Absolutely stay there again!

The room was small but comfortable. Really nice shower. Breakfast in the restaurant across the street was not worth the long wait.
Tracy
Hotel very nice great location staff friendly
Margaret
Hotel is close to Edinburgh Castle, museums, shopping, restaurants and the tram. Very clean facilities but no a/c and we were not provided a fan, which would have helped to drown out the noise from the street below. It’s a very nice hotel and like I said, everything is close, just bring a sound machine or ear plugs.
Maureen
We were upgraded to a spacious two level room with an extra bed. It was comfortable and the beds were nice and firm. The toiletries were lovely and eco-friendly and the push button shower system was easy to use. Unfortunately, the room was warm even when we requested that the heating be turned off and with the window open and the fan on. It was bearable but it would have been a fabulous room if there was some way to vent the warm air in the upstairs portion of the room. That said, the view upstairs was amazing of the Firth of Forth. The staff were helpful for directions and the daily breakfast at Rabble restaurant (included) had lots of delicious options to fuel you for your walking explorations. The hotel was central and a short walk to Princes Street and the gardens there.
Beth
A great location in New Town, close to the action but just far enough away to be restful. The front desk staff were friendly, and the room was well equipped and comfortable.
Brent
Great location in New Town. Pretty quiet in the evenings compared to the tourist crush in Old Town. Tons of great restaurants a short walk from hotel, but kitchens may close early. Staff was professional but not overly friendly. Hotel was clean and modern.
Kim
Perfect cozy place to stay near the city centre without being IN the city centre.
Katharine
Great Location
It's a great location for staying in New Town Edinburgh. You can get to everything within 30 minutes while walking. There are clothing shops (no tourist shops) and a lot of restaurants around the hotel.
The hotel is nice. It was nice to get a double bed and single in one room. It was eco friendly, but was just your basic hotel. We were able to leave our bags after we checked out. I just didn't like that we put our bags in the room and others had access to the same room. I would have felt better if the staff were the only ones with access to the stored bags.

Lovey hotel in great location.
Allison
Lovely, spacious and clean hotel room with friendly, helpful staff. The room we stayed in was VERY noisy on a Friday night as it's across the street from a bar where drunken people partied outside until the wee hours and we had an early morning flight to catch.
Sarah
Really enjoyed our stay here. A nice walk to all of the major sights.
Mary
Quiet, clean and convenient. Will definitely come again.

review
Nice size rooms, staff responsive and courteous. Nice location.
Jonathan
Great location, but room for improvement
I stayed here two weekends in a row, and both times I was assigned room #4, which is downstairs in the 'staff only' area (which can get really warm, likely due to the laundry). The room technically had a window, but there is no view.
While I was still able to get a good night's sleep, this is one of the hardest beds I've ever slept on. Everything else about the room was fine -- it was nice having a mini-fridge since my other Scotland hotels did not.
Both times I checked in, I was not told about the discounts at the restaurants across the street. Fortunately I overheard it being told to another guest, and I actually took advantage of the discount multiple times at the Thai restaurant.
Location is fantastic as it's walkable from both the train station (Waverly) and the bus station. There are also incredible castle views at the end of the street as you walk towards the Old Town.
Overall, it wasn't my favorite hotel, but wouldn't necessarily rule it out in a return trip if the price is right.

Overall, it wasn't my favorite hotel, but wouldn't necessarily rule it out in a return trip if the price is right.

I had so much fun in Edinburgh and so did my traveling partners. Food across the street rabo was great we didn't do the Thai place but and the shopping at the history the castle everything I can't wait to go back to Scotland but I think I'll just do Scotland there's so much to see that we missed

Friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful value, very up to date and great location.

Not having restaurant on site is not good although the quality of the one option was good.
Linda
Excellent location and good price. Room very cosy and clean. Lovely staff.
Christopher
Got a bit loud at 3 am when the bars let out as our room overlooked the street. This died down pretty quick though.
Prateeksha
Good
Tanya
Fabulous location to explore Edinburgh. Breakfast at Rabble was brilliant; we include a family of 3 Ceoliac and lots of options for us. The room was a great size for the 4 of us. Would stay here again
Caleb
This was good value and good location. Only downside being the loud street noise and lack of breakfast in house.
Margaret
Lovely hotel. Very pleasant and obliging staff. Great breakfast choices. Will use again.
Wendy
This was a lovely hotel with pretty rooms that were quiet. The staff were kind and helpful.
Bonnie
Loved! Would recommend. We arrived early so it was no issue putting our luggage in the luggage room so we could explore the city. Staff was very friendly and the room was clean and comfortable.
Martin
Reasonable location just off Princess St. Facilities fine. Room a bit on the warm side with no obvious thermostat and TV a bit far away from the bed for ideal viewing. However I'm only there to drop my bags off and to sleep.

One of the best hotels I stay in at Edinburgh, the only downside was the noise of other guests during the night but that's not the hotels faukt
Pamela
This property has multiples beds if necessary so it was great for the 3 of us. Plenty of room, tea and coffee and cookies provided daily. Clean and comfortable. Beds were great. Would love to have had more time there. Great place to stay.
Heather
Central and Comfy!
Great location! Very comfortable! Nice staff! Highly recommend. There are pubs nearby, as there are near all hotels in Edinburgh, so you will hear some night owls outside on the weekends. This is normal. Just be prepared, bring ear plugs or noise machine if its going to bug you. Also, the shower/tub is on a platform. Be aware & careful when stepping out.
Chris
A very comfortable overnight stay in a good location.
Maria

Convenient early bag drop before and after stay. Close to train station. Large room.

ANURADHA
Property was average. Location was convenient. Breakfast was included and at a restaurant across the street - that was enjoyable. Parking was at a garage 20 minute walk away. Staff was average - not the friendliest.
Robert
Great location

The hotel is like a boutique hotel with nice amenities and cleanliness. It's also a short walk to the Princess street, and about 15-minute walk to the old town and the castle.
The overall stay was good but I do have two concerns. First, our room faced the street. Even though we're at the third floor, we could still hear all kinds of noises till very late at night. It's not even the weekend. Second, the way they store the luggage is a bit unsafe. They simply asked us to bring the luggage to the basement with a key. All guests did the same with the same key. We were worried about the safety of our luggage.

Unbeatable Location
The location is unbeatable, walking distance to most of the attractions, train station, Edinburgh castle, etc. the only downside is that my room had no view, it was located on a basement level so I had zero view. The people at the reception area were outstanding and they helped me storing my luggage and were always nice and helpful.
Robert
Great area, comfortable rooms wonderful staff
