Night away
The hotel was very clean and easy to find. The gentleman at the front who received us was very polite, well mannered and helpful. The room was very spacious, bed was super comfy and all very clean. They have an agreement with a nearby carpark for a discount for hotel stayers which was brilliant (2 minute walk away). The only two comments would be the bar shutting quite early for guests (because as scots we are raging alchies and would have enjoyed a few drinks after our evening out and to see the xmas market), but also the panel for the ac faced the bed and with the lights off was extremely bright with no way of turning the screen off (eso make sure to bring some nail glue or bluetac to stick some toilet paper over 👌

Loved staying here. Large room, large very comfortable bed. Great breakfast options. Staff very nice and helpful. Enjoyed the pool and sauna after long day of walking around Edinburgh. Can walk to Waverley station with luggage (15min). Slightly out of the heavy tourist area (next to uni campus) but only minutes walk to Royal mile etc. lots of great meal options close by. Definitely would stay here again.

It was in a perfect location - close enough to walk everywhere but far enough from the hubbub of the Royal Mile to be able to enjoy a quiet nights sleep. The service was unparalleled and everything was extremely clean. A great stay!

Nice but 1 small problem
T.Vs did not work in any of the rooms the weekend we went. Not a drama and didnt effect our stay but all we got was a "sorry" on check out and not even a discount on the overall bill or even a drink at the bar when reporting it.

Previously stayed at this hotel when it was under different ownership. Has been refurbished and was clean , modern and beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming- hot food was luke warm and not a great choice and it was self service coffee from a flask , a self servi e coffee machine woukd be nicer
