Great location for a few days visiting the city.
Pros:

Great location, the tram stop was a 5 minute walk away. The food in the restaurant was fantastic, both breakfast and the evening menu.

Would definitely stay again!
Pros:

Hotel was excellent location for a 2.5 day visit to Edinburgh, just a short tram ride outside of downtown. City bus lines also stop close by, and were easy to navigate. Location away from central tourist area meant it was very peaceful, but there were still plenty of cafes and shops nearby. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean, shower had excellent water pressure! I did not eat at the hotel restaurant, other than ordering from the "night bites" menu (limited food available after 10pm). While the options were limited, the food was tasty and arrived quickly.

Cons:

As the neighborhood is not the central tourist area, restaurants closed earlier and opened a little later than places immediately downtown- plan your meal times accordingly (hotel restaurant *is* open early).

Cons:

I didn’t like the steak deal as it was very sneaky in small writing at the end of the advert…and staff did not advise us of the additional cost…

Disappointing
Pros:

The location.
Cleanliness

Cons:

The lighting in the upgraded room was abysmal- it was dark, impossible to do hair or makeup other than in the bathroom.
View awful- the view from the window was scaffolding.
