The location was perfect, right opposite the Picardy tram stop and within walking distance to all the main attractions. The room was compact but clean with all the essentials including an iron and ironing board and kettle although complimentary tea/coffee were available in the reception area which was a nice surprise. Breakfast area did get rather busy from 9am but we managed to get seating on both mornings of our stay. Would definitely stay here again

The hotel is in an excellent location, with a tram and bus station right outside. It's just a few minutes' walk to Princes Street and the St James Shopping Centre, and there's a Tesco Express nearby. Additionally, numerous restaurants and cinema options are within walking distance.

This hotel is well situated relatively close to Waverley station. Easily walked. An Edinburgh tram stop is situated right outside. The room was well appointed and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was excellent and the shower as hot as you would want.
The breakfast was really good with a great choice and was of course included in the booking price. Would certainly stay there again.

Location is good for being close to the airport. It has got a direct covered walkway from the terminal 4 ( a great plus). It's clean, got a tub, room is big as well.
