Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, with easy access to many cafes and restaurants, and Edinburgh Castle within a reasonable walking distance. The shared garden added a nice touch, and the small garden outside the master bedroom was lovely. However, the noise level in the room could have been better managed. Overall, a good choice for exploring the city.
Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The rooms were spacious, modern, and equipped with a lovely garden access, topped off with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco. The location was unbeatable with easy access to many cafes, restaurants, and even Edinburgh Castle within reasonable walking distance, making it a perfect spot for exploring the city. However, some noise disturbances were not adequately addressed by the staff when requested for a quieter environment.
My stay at this hotel was simply amazing! The location is superb, right in the heart of Edinburgh, just a stone's throw away from lovely cafes and restaurants. Plus, the view from the shared garden was a delightful bonus, and being close to Edinburgh Castle made exploring easy. However, the second bedroom being a posh cupboard felt a bit cramped.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, which is centrally located in Edinburgh, close to all the attractions. The rooms were spacious with great facilities and direct garden access, making my stay truly enjoyable. The service was top-notch, with prompt responses to all my requests. The dining options were limited, but the homemade ice cream was a delightful treat. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of Edinburgh, offering easy access to all of the city's attractions. The rooms with garden access are cozy and well-equipped, though having a pull-out bed may not suit everyone's comfort preference. The service is generally attentive, but there were instances of requests being overlooked. The prime location makes it a convenient choice for exploring the city, being close to key landmarks and museums. The dining experience, particularly with local seafood, adds a delightful touch to the stay. However, the price point might not fully align with the overall value provided.
The hotel is perfectly situated, right behind the Castle in St Patrick's Square, offering a central location near the bars of Rose St The rooms are spacious and modern with great facilities, but it's worth noting that the noise level can be distracting at times. The service is friendly, with prompt housekeeping and a welcome drink upon arrival. The organic dining experience offers fresh vegetables, although some requests for a quieter environment were not fully accommodated. Overall, the convenient location and comfortable amenities make it a good value for the price paid.
The hotel offers rooms with outside access, great amenities, and access to a shared garden with the next apartment. The location is right in the center of Edinburgh, behind the Castle, perfect for exploring the city. The dining experience was good with delicious salmon dishes. However, the service could be more attentive to requests. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
