    The location was wonderful. It was right next to the train station and just a short walk from Princes Street and the other direction to the Royal Mile. It is modern and fresh. The breakfast buffet was very good.

    Great location. Just a half block to the Airlink stop which was very handy for getting to and from airport, and right in heart of old town

    We loved the property. It is cute, the staff are helpful and it's clear they are clear about what their role is in helping guests. We stored our bags while we wandered around as did many other guests. The rooms were comfortable and it was quiet....
