Was roasting in the room as it was about 18 degrees at night, but the room had two showers which was great! Not much common area in the evening for relaxing as its a bar, but small for that, but does have high tables on stools which is useful if you want to work on a laptop Great value tho at 40 pounds, can't complain

Eugen “Always a good choice”
02 Apr 2025
Good positioning, very close to main city attractions and the railway station (Waverley Station), decent food/drinks prices at the bar, clean rooms, well set internal rules, hot water anytime, day & night. As an a&o client, I am always looking for an a&o location first, when visiting western european cities.

The location is perfect for getting around. Close to the royal mile. The facilities were brilliant (onsite bar and beer garden/karaoke/pool tables). The rooms were clean. It was perfect for a large group of us. The staff were so nice and helpful
