Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the hotel's stylish and cosy design, often mentioning the spacious beds - especially the bunk beds - and the delightful scent of the shower gel and body lotion. The location is convenient, with a pleasant walk to Old Town and close proximity to Haymarket station, Dean Village and Princes Street.

The rooms offer great amenities such as tea, proper milk, a kettle, and even a radio playing relaxing music.

convenient locationcomfortable bed

I totally loved the location. Transport links were literally two minutes away. the tram was so convenient. the main hotel area looked fabulous. It made a striking impression. the toiletries in my room were gorgeous. I especially loved the scents. the bed was so comfortable. I slept like a log.

The shower curtain did not fully cover the shower. This created a small privacy issue.
