Very clean. Staff were excellent, especially Yasmin. Evening complimentary drink was a lovely touch.
Rooms quite small.
Location
Bathroom smelled musty
Near to the main areas
Small rooms & the force to pay exra day payment as insurance put still didn’t receive any refund (8 days from lifting the hotel).
Location, staff , cleanliness.
Room was a little tight

Chambre assez petite
Location is great. Staff is helpful
The rooms are way too small. I paid for a king bed which really fit more a standard room size. It’s also smaller due to room layout. The bed is right next to the door. And because it’s right next to the door, you hear everything next room guest coming in and out of their room or in the hall way. They didn’t clean the mugs in the kitchen everyday. There was lip stick stain on the mugs. And tea bags are not added everyday. The shower head leaks water. I woke up in the middle of the of the night at the last day from the dripping water sound which I can’t stop the leaking water. Also don’t think they changed sheets during my stay.
Staff
Toilets not really clean
The castle view was amazing, it was a good location and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The rooms were very small.
Brilliant location and room was comfortable and had everything that we needed. Close to the centre of town but not close enough to worry about the noise etc. Early evening drinks that they offer is a really lovely touch and a welcome card. Super friendly staff.
Great location
A robe in the room would be nice
Convenient, clean and good location
Een fijne kamer met een goed bed en de kitchenette was een extra cadeautje.
The location, near the cafes and restaurants and comfortable.
The room size is quite tiny and also they provide complementary drinks from 5-6 pm; however, no body told us so until we by chance came to the lobby area.
We were abandoned by BA last night with no hotel so this was a last minute reservation. It’s lovely and I would definitely plan to come back. The young man at reception was very helpful and friendly. Just what we needed after a 14 hour flight into the wrong airport

Kahvaltı yoktu zaten.oda konumu arkadaydı ama guzeldi.temizdi.
It was great
No closet in the room
Otroligt fint hotell, nytt rent och fräscht! Mycket hjälpsam personal som hela tiden såg till att vi gäster var nöjda och fick den hjälpen vi behövde. Utmärkt läge, bara några minuter från de flesta sevärdheterna, vi kunde enkelt promenera runt till alla sevärdheter vi besökte under resan. Ett riktigt trevligt plus var den inbjudande lobbyn som det varje eftermiddag serverades gratis dryck och snacks i. Det blev en härlig avslutning på dagarna när man varit ute och gått i stan i många timmar. Hade definitivt rekommenderat att bo här!
Rummen vi valde var något åt det mindre hållet men det var inget som påverkade vår vistelse
Location. Very clean and functional
I would like a fitness center
I liked the location
The bedrooms were too small for sharing with a friend. There was no space for anything even getting to the bathroom was a struggle.
Muy lindas instalaciones. Impecables.
Que no ofrezca desayuno
Friendly staff and I like the fireplace atmosphere
No problem with the property Mild problems twice with the bathroom Very hot water and then cold water Staff very responsive to my concerns
Clean, bright, good staff, lively and great spot. Modern room with good connectivity for modern travellers
Could benefit from a food offering, but there are plenty of reasonable places close by
زينه الفندق قريبه من خدمات مشي 10 دقايق و زينه واحد جاي على ادنبرة وما يطول و على ميزانيته
حر موت الغرفه مكيف معنى في مكيف مركزي ولكن ما يشتغل
Generally great location
Very dirty, the partner had to clean the bathroom again before we used it. Someones old shavers left behind the coffee table.
الفندق جميل والموقع قريب على كل شي
كلشي ممتاز
Hyggeligt værelse, pænt og rent, enormt venligt personale, perfekt lokation tæt på centrum, men på en meget stille gade.
Friendly staff
Creeking bed
Everything! It was a wonderful stay. We were a little worried as it was very expensive but everything was perfect. Would highly recommend, good area to stay, peaceful and relaxing.
Nothing
Great location- staff were wonderful (especially Ed on the front desk)👍🏻 nice having a room with no food, on centre of the City.
Parking was a pain - NCP car park is 15 mins drive away and expensive, even with the 50% discount for 24hs (£18 instead of £36).
Good location, welcoming, friendly staff, good service!
Staff were lovely, check in seamless & team were very accommodating for anything I requested. Super quiet location if you want to avoid big crowds. Local restaurants, cafes & bars are great!
Everything was really great.
Lovely rooms, using the space well. Lovely view from the windows. Nice little kitchenette and excellent shower in the bathroom
Nothing
Clean and modern hotel. Surely will be back again
Molto accessibile, staff cordiale, servizi in camera ottimi, vista notevole dalla camera, posizione eccezionale per visitare a piedi il centro di Edimburgo. Colazione non in hotel ma a circa 50 metri in locali convenzionati. Noi abbiamo scelto ottime schiacciate italiane...non ultimo: doccia e letto assolutamente confortevoli!
The staff were really helpful and friendly
There was no breakfast available, the rooms were a little small for how much I paid, there were no baths and I struggled a little with the air con.
Everything was excellent. One of the best stays we've had across 50 years of travelling the world
Nothing
Excellent comfort and room set up. All staff very friendly and helpful.
Very comfortable modern room, with everything you could need. Friendly staff. High standard of cleanliness.
A little out from the old town but still within walking distance to the castle.
O quarto não é grande, mas bem confortável.
Poderia ter opção de café da manhã.
Lovely hotel. Staff very friendly. Location great for where we were going that night. Definitely would stay there again.
Super Clean, very well equipped, Friendly staff. Beautiful View
First, I checked-in in a room in a lower ground floor, and there’s no view. it was super clean and very well equipped. but, the plug sockets weren’t working, and the telecommunication signal was too weak !
Clean, everything we needed. We were greeted with a big smile and enthousiasm. Bathroom had everything we needed! The complementary happy hour was a great addition!
It’s a walk to the old town but the busses stop in front. You’ll be close to Dean Village and a bunch of Edinburgh best coffee shops!
Beautiful room, helpful staff, great location.
No restaurant
Location
Modern
The location is great.
It was very dirty. Our room was not cleaned from the previous party. The room had not been maintained. The room was small and overall…overpriced compared to its market. It is not a luxury hotel.
Tutto. Sopratutto caffè e drink di benvenuto. Pulitissimo e moderno
We liked the everything in the hotel but the price is bit high compared to others which are closer to city centre.
After check out we called the reception staff to tell them that we forgot our passports in safe box and they responded that housekeeping did not mention about lost passports although we insisted to take permission from new gust to check the safe box but non of the stuff wanted to help. I had to go to the hotel physically to request them again the same and finally a wonderful staff called Yasmin helped us who went up to take permission from new guest and our passports were found as expected. بعد مغادرة الفندق، اتصلنا بطاقم الاستقبال لإبلاغهم أننا نسينا جوازات سفرنا في الخزنة، فردّوا علينا بأن التدبير المنزلي لم يُبلّغ عن وجود جوازات مفقودة، على الرغم من إصرارنا على أخذ إذن من النزيل الجديد لتفقد الخزنة، لكن لم يرغب أي من الموظفين في مساعدتنا. اضطررت للذهاب إلى الفندق شخصيًا لطلب ذلك مرة أخرى، وأخيرًا ساعدتنا موظفة رائعة تدعى ياسمين، صعدت إلى الطابق وأخذت الإذن من النزيل الجديد، وتم العثور على جوازات سفرنا كما توقعنا.
Sehr nettes Personal - neues/modernes Hotel
Preis-Leistung zu hoch
Everything was great! I really loved the hotel, and it made my stay so special, comfortable, and smooth. It was within walking distance of Dean Village, which is such a lovely place for a morning stroll. There were also plenty of nice cafés and restaurants around the hotel, which made the location even better.
Nothing
If the room ready it will be given before check in. Staff helpful and try to offer help as much as they could. The room was clean and facilities were good. Location near Dean village which quite and lovely.
Nothing
This was a fantastic place to stay in Edinburgh! The staff were so welcoming and helpful and the hotel itself is in a great location with fab facilities. We especially loved the complimentary drinks hour on an evening.
Excellent location, superb facilities & the friendliest staff I have ever encountered.
Nothing!
great atmosphere with different rooms the guests can use in ground floor, like the library, livingroom and other hang-out areas. Also great service by the staff
it was a busy period so not always easy to get hold of the staff to order drinks. but as said, it was a busy period we were there
Overall great but if it had breakfast availability it would be amazing.

This property is in a great location. We took a direct tram from the airport to the West End station and walked to the hotel from there. The staff were extraordinarily helpful. There is a meet/greet at 5 pm with wine and beer choices. The room was clean, great hot water shower/pressure, comfy beds, perfect size kitchenette where we had breakfast each morning as we enjoy not having to get out every morning. Well stocked grocery store close by. Great restaurants within walking distance. Walked about 4-5 miles per day. Totally enjoyed Edinburgh castle, Royal mile, people watching, Finge Fest performers. Fabulous outdoor market with local crafts/artists.
Excellent staff. Had a lovely dinner at hotel.
Tutto davvero perfetto lo staff gentilissimo , la pulizia e la posizione
Assolutamente nulla
Like the concept, the staff and the amenities - nice sheets and towels. I like the partnerships with the local restaurants.
Room was very small, quite different to the pictures
Personal attention to detail with note left for my wife who was in the city for an eye operation. The hotel allocated us to a room on the ground floor and close to reception….perfect!
todos muito simpáticos , muito cozy
o sr condicionado funciona um pouco mal
الاستقبال ممتاز وسريع ، الفندق شبيه بالشقق لكن غرف مفرده بدون (فرن) ويوجد مايكرويف والفندق جديد ونظيف و(هادئ) جدا والغرفة التي سكنت فيها ليست صغيره جدا والمصعدين لا يوجد عليهم زحمه ابدا ، لايوجد مطعم ولا فطور ، وموقع الفندق انا اشوفه ممتاز , جميع الخدمات مثل السوبرماركت والكافيهات قريبه منه والامان 10/10 .
لا يوجد شطاف مع انه سهل تركيبه .
contemporary design
Could have had a bigger area to enjoy drinks in
Super friendly staff and perfect location
The room was small but we knew that before we went
Small but clean room, helpful and friendly staff, location is nice , near the quiet and serene Dean village, and 10 minutes walk to the center and busy Edinburgh, just what I needed.
Sehr freundliches Service und Personal, schönes Ambiente in der Lobby. Am späten Nachmittag gibt es Getränke auf Kosten des Hauses. Gute Anbindung an den Flughafen mit Bus (Airlink) oder Straßenbahn, in 5-10 Gehminuten zur Haltestelle. Sehr ruhige Lage.
Die Zimmer waren mit der Küchenzeile sehr praktisch eingerichtet, aber klein. Für die Besichtigungen vor allem in der Old Town würden wir beim nächsten Besuch ein zentraleres Hotel nehmen. Preis/Leistung haben für uns mit Zimmergröße ohne Frühstück nicht ganz gepasst.
very helpful staff and great about leaving luggage. seemed safe also. great location. no breakfast but discounts for nearby shops
I like breakfast so that was a shame but a lot that I did like
Great location (walking distance to just about anywhere in central Edinburgh), spacious rooms (the vanity was a really great addition!), amazing views of the castle from the windows, great shower. We were having a weekend at the Fringe as part of our honeymoon and the hotel very kindly left a handwritten card and some chocolate in our room.

C'est la deuxième fois que je séjourne dans cet hôtel et ça en vaut vraiment la peine. Il est très bien placé, à 20 minutes à pied à peine du centre historique. Situé à West End, c'est vraiment très calme. On peut profiter de la ville et de ses animations tout en étant au calme. Le personnel est très accueillant et serviable. La cafetière Nespresso est vraiment un plus également ! Je recommande cet hôtel !!

Mycket trevligt hotell i ett lugnt område med 10 min till flygtåget och 20 min promenad till gamla stan. Otroligt trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Rummen var fräscha och trevligt inredda men var lite små för 2 personer. Sköna sängar. Finns ingen frukost men de hade ordnat med rabatter till omkringliggande kaféer och restauranger.
Rummen var i minsta laget för 2 personer.
Heel vriendelijk personnel . En magnetron op kamer En bus halte heel dichtbij .
Het lukte mij niet de airco uit te zetten . Wel lager. Maar vond het echt beetje fris daardoor . Ik heb ook niet gevraagd of het uit kon... dat had ik eigelijk kunnen doen .
Very clean and well decorated. Free drink and snack in the evening. Small kitchenette with fridge and microwave so good if staying longer as can bring in own food.
No food but offset by 10 or 20% discount at eateries close by.
Modern, location
No coffee shop or restaurant although there was a delivery service
It’s a really nice and beautiful place to stay. Love the comfort, the service, the happy hours, the location, the recommendations. Everything
They don’t serve breakfast, however, they’re great positions around :)
La ubicación y el personal
Tamaño de la habitación
Well maintained property with excellent amenities, not far from the city centre
The hotel needs an in house restaurant
Location and the cleanliness of the hotel is excellent and entering and exiting with a card means that no one enters a stranger .
The rooms are narrow, but the hotel is generally clean and highly recommended, close to everything, and the staff is very helpful
Great location, friendly staff and amazing room and facilities
The beds and pillows were super comfy I had the best nights sleep. I also like how we had a little kitchen bit and a beautiful view of the castle. I also like how there was a makeup desk
There wasn’t anything I didn’t like
Hotel moderno, con personal muy amable.
La habitación era un poco pequeña para tener dos maletas medianas. Además, faltaban perchas/ toalleros en el baño.
No water and the rooms small and beds for kids not adults for twin rooms
Clean and compact hotel. Located away from the hustle and bustle of the main city. Loved it!
The only thing I didn’t like is the fact that they don’t have an in-house restaurant/bar. Would really make a difference
Fantastic customer service
Nothing
Great staff, very friendly & helpful
Price
Location was good
Room was tiny, could not move. No space for the suitcases. Paid very high price for a small space. Would not recomend your hotel.
The staff were amazingly professional and supportive. The rooms and hotel overall is clean and relaxing, and the location is amazing! Love everything about my stay.
Pulizia della camera, zona tranquilla ben servita dai mezzi e a 10 minuti dal centro o dal Dean Village. Personale molto gentile.
Per tirare l'acqua del wc è necessario spostare l'asse del water in quanto i tasti dello scarico sono posizionati troppo in basso.
Clean and comfortable. I found the small kitchen in the room useful.
No breakfast or dinner, though you could eat nearby. Complimentary drinks and nuts every evening. Beautifully quiet.
Would have liked the shower not to leak all over the floor. Bad design. Tiny kitchenette. Very high price.
Loved it all. Comfy, great views, lovely staff, amazing location.
Wish there was a bar there.
Good location, helpful staff, nice rooms, comfy bed
Hotel maravilho super confortavel e bem localizado.
Schöne Lage … modern … sauber
Leider ist das Doppelzimmer sehr sehr klein … das ist bei dem Preis leider wirklich schade
The location is really nice and very close to Dean Village, as well as city centre. It is a new build, so everything is new, with nice finishes, furniture and fittings. The lobby includes some really lovely artwork and selection of whiskies. I appreciate the ease of use of the lift by having to tap the card before entering the lift corridor instead of having to tap the card every time one uses the lift. The bed was really nice and comfortable, not your usual twin beds pushed together. There are sockets next to the bed, so you can charge your phone (but need an adapter). As the hotel doesn't offer their own breakfast, a kitchenette with Nespresso and a kettle and microwave was really nice (note: they provide a list of nearby cafés and restaurants and they all offer discounts if you show your room card, so they do care about your empty tummy :) They offer the generic Taylor's teas as most UK hotels do, i think using a local brand could have been a nice touch, also in the bathroom instead of Molton Brown.
We booked this hotel in hope of enjoying a view of Edinburgh through a spacious balcony just like in the photos. Instead we got a room the size of a maid's chamber, our bed aligned with a full wall, with a small window only at the end of the bed. We understand prices hike up during festival time, but at the price we paid we expected premium comfort with a view, thus the price per value remains very poor. Water pressure was OK, should be slightly stronger. A large wardrobe and kitchenette are offerred, which is lovely, but in comparison, the bathroom is pretty small and towels are stored on the wall behind the toilet, which just makes it feel unhygienic. The toilet can only be flushed if one puts down the toilet cover, which means you need to touch it, I just can't understand how somebody could plan a bathroom like that... Cleaning was decent, but inconsistent, and some days we were left with less towels. Again, everything was pretty OK and decent and it was nice to stay in a new-built hotel instead of an old shabby one, but I honestly think the seasonally increased price we paid based on photos and the information provided was left unjustified by the reality. I checked off-season prices, those feel more realistic.
Location. Staff. Superior room was decently sized. Elliot at front desk was amazing. Very friendly and polite staff.
The charged our card after we checked out which wasn't right bcos that should have been informed to us while we were checking out and asking for the outstanding. We weren't informed about the same. Apart from that everything was great. They were super accomodating.
Hygiëne, kamer, personeel en locatie.

What guests love
Areas to consider
Cleanliness
9.4/10Multiple reviews explicitly note the hotel is very clean (e.g., 'very clean', 'Hotel muito limpinho', 'everything clean').
Service
9.6/10Staff repeatedly described as very friendly, helpful and accommodating across many reviews (help with taxis, requests, attentive service).
Location
9.8/10Strongly positive mentions: excellent central location, close to tram/Princess Street/West End, within walking distance of attractions and restaurants.
Room Quality
8.2/10Mixed feedback: some guests reported spacious, well-appointed rooms, but multiple comments cite rooms as small, cramped or claustrophobic which lowers the score.
Amenities
9.3/10Positive notes for complimentary evening drinks and in-room coffee; however some guests mention missing gym/onsite restaurant which moderately reduces the score.
Value for Money
7.8/10Several guests explicitly call out poor value — high price for relatively small rooms and limited extras — bringing this category below the overall average.
Food and Beverage
9.2/10Limited on-site F&B (no coffee shop/restaurant) noted as a drawback, but complimentary drinks and nearby cafés/partner breakfast discounts were appreciated.
Overall Experience
9.5/10Overall sentiment is very positive: many describe a relaxing, lovely stay with helpful staff and convenient location; few minor issues reported do not dominate the experience.
