    The stay here was really comfortable for two nights. We liked rooms with tv. The staff were very pleasant and efficient. The venue was in a central location so close to a very nice area close to the playhouse and nice restaurants, Edinburgh castle and train station...

    Location is excellent. Only a 10 min walk to Castle and even less to Princes St. Hotel is basic but clean and a good buffet breakfast. Good value for money in a city that has many expensive hotels.
