It’s a cool place with friendly staff, but room was disappointing and had several maintenance issues. When I first checked in the sink was clogged and toilet had a terrible smell. Staff was nice and both things got dealt with.

Cobbled together gluten-free vegetarian breakfast (although advised in advance), but organised eventually. The waiter was nonetheless very helpful. Could've done without the constant sport on the huge tv. The pub attached is very noisy. Suitable more for a younger clientele.

The Hotel is amazing! STAY is really well located, the staff is helpfull and the room is great. Also, the bar is really cool to spend some time when you come back from visiting the city. If I'm ever blessed with coming back to Edinburgh again, I will totally stay there again!
