Its ok
I had to return to reception to get the key activated which had not been done at check in, so slightly miffed. It would have been convenient to have a small fridge in the room at nearly £200 per night.

Great location, but not the best quality hotel considering the price. If you book through hotels.com you will get an accessible room, not great if you don’t require everything on a lower level. You can find better in down the price in Edinburgh

Excellent property, staff was great. We had a room with a window opening onto the busy street, but the modern windows when closed, blocked the noise. A 5 minute walk to the train station, and 10 minutes max to the Royal Mile. No telephones in the rooms, the only drawback.
