Reviews and Ratings
I was thrilled with the room upgrade we received at no extra cost, even though the room turned out to be small and not worth the nightly charge. The hotel is conveniently situated with a pool, which was a pleasant surprise considering it was originally more expensive at the Apex hotel. The sofa in the room was a nice touch.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic for exploring the city center with easy access to pubs, shops, and cafes. However, the room fell short of expectations as it was extremely hot and lacked the castle view advertised. The service was a mixed bag, with indifferent staff, but the dining experience was lovely. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel is conveniently located at the base of Edinburgh Castle, with easy access to downtown Edinburgh. The rooms are modern and clean, but there was a constant buzzing noise possibly from an air con unit outside. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff. Dining options were of good quality, although some dishes were overpriced. The facilities were up to standard, including convenient parking in the busy city center.
The hotel was a lovely place to stay with spacious and clean rooms, but the excessive heating was a bit uncomfortable. The service was top-notch, and the location couldn't have been better with great restaurants and shops nearby. The dining experience was a hit or miss, and the facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were spacious and had a very comfy bed, although they were a bit dark for my liking.

Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean and comfortable, with a lovely view of Edinburgh Castle from my window. The service was top-notch, especially Jimmy in the bar, who makes the best mojitos. The location couldn't be better, right at the base of the castle and walking distance to all the attractions. The dining was a bit underwhelming for the price, but overall, the experience was great.
Had a warm and lovely stay on the 4th floor. The rooms were comfortable, offering a nice sleep in a comfy bed with 2 double beds, perfect for me and my daughter, though they need some refreshing.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room, while clean and modern, felt a bit smaller than expected and had a slightly exaggerated view.

The dining options were limited and pricey, not offering the best value for money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms to the front are fairly spacious with an oversized sofa but a small double bed. They are modern with great beds and pleasant lighting, although they could have been much cleaner, especially the curtains. The service was a bit of a hit and miss; some staff were very nice and friendly, while others seemed like they couldn't be bothered to be there. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore the main sights and attractions. Unfortunately, finding the hotel initially might be a bit tricky if you're not familiar with the area. When it comes to dining, the breakfast options were badly stocked, and I had to request replenishment. On the positive side, the fresh organic products were a nice touch.

The hotel offers a breathtaking view of the castle, making it a picturesque spot. The rooms are modern with a stunning bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower and separate bathtub, though they are on the small side. The service is exceptional, especially for special occasions like a 10th wedding anniversary. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of the historic old city, close to major attractions. The dining experience offers a good variety of breakfast choices but could be improved. Overall, a great value for a memorable stay.
