Fantastic location in the shadow of Edinburgh castle on the Grassmarket.
Surrounded by historic pubs and lovely shops and restaurants,it was perfect.

The plug was blocked in the room but the staff sorted it straightaway and no further problems.

Pros:

Good location, lovely staff

Cons:

Lack of onsite bar. The sister hotel very close by was available but it was raining heavily and it would have been nice to get a nightcap in the building.

Rene fasiliteter. Hjelpsomt personalet. Fin beliggenhet.
Pros:

Kjempefint og moderne både på rommet, i frokostsalen og lobbyen. Veldig hyggelig personalet som var kjempeglad for å hjelpe med alt vi behøvde. Rent og stort rom for pengene. Spurte om ekstra dyne på dobbeltseng og de fikset mens vi var borte og redde opp på ny for oss (tok 2 min, gjorde det med en gang vi spurte). Rene fasiliteter både på hotellrom og i lobby/frokostsal. Grei beliggenhet ift resten av Edinburgh by. Gå avstand til alt. Utsikt rett på Edinburgh slott. Frokost ikke inkludert, men kan betales for når man ankommer. Veldig godt utvalg og greie porsjoner, med ferdiglaget måltider i tillegg til buffé. De hadde svømmebasseng, sauna og treningsrom i bygget ved siden av, men vi brukte det ikke. Gratis bagasjelagring dersom man trenger det, dagen man sjekker ut.
