The peaceful location between two streets made it so quiet, although the room was a bit small. The service was outstanding, with very friendly and accommodating staff. The location was excellent, just a short walk to pubs and restaurants, with easy access to buses and trams for sightseeing. The dining experience was a bit chaotic, but there was a good selection of cereals. Overall, a modern and comfy hotel with a great location.

Two minute walk access to several pubs/restaurants at Grassmarket and easy transportation options made exploring the city a breeze.
