Guests consistently appreciate the hotel's convenient location, finding it easy to walk to attractions like Princes Street and close to the train station and tram stop, making Leith and The Shore easily accessible. Many rooms are considered spacious and modern, some even offering views of Calton Hill, a Nespresso machine and a stocked mini-fridge.

Acceptable Stay with Some Issues

weak shower frosted glass
I found the shower pressure to be quite weak. It was barely a dribble. Another issue I encountered was the frosted glass on the bathroom door and part of the wall. It did not close fully, leaving a noticeable gap. This impacted privacy quite a lot, NOT ideal.
