In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Location score of 9/10 — Guests repeatedly call out the easy walk to attractions, Princes Street, and the city centre. It’s also close to Haymarket railway station, per one review.
  • Helpful, friendly staff — The team is a recurring highlight—reviewers mention check-in, directions, luggage storage, and overall attentiveness.
  • Pets welcome — The hotel allows pets and provides pet amenities, which is a plus for travellers with animals.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Breakfast service ends early — One guest notes breakfast stops at 9:30 every day, including Sundays, which they felt was too early.
  • Rooms can be small and noisy — A reviewer described a room as too small and noisy, though another said the room was spacious compared to similar hotels—so it varies by room type.
  • Dining rating lags other categories — The dining score is 7/10, the lowest of the four categories, and one guest called the breakfast terrible.
