This place is a gem. Close to everything, very safe location, funky decoration throughout and a great team working there. Zoltan made sure my parents initial impression of Edinburgh was "oh wow". He went above and beyond to welcome us. I am very grateful for his thoughtfulness. The 2 rooms we had were lovely. Modern decor all around with views over the city from the 6th floor. The rain shower in the ensuite was incredible. I liked that there was a chilled filtered water fountain in the corridor outside the room. A very impressive breakfast, something for everyone. The porridge was particularly tasty. Good use of the space for self service. I have already recommended this hotel to friends.

    Hotel is really close to the tram line and you can reach city centre in around 20 minutes. The same line also goes to the airport. There is shopping centre nearby too. Rooms were small, but im used to that since this is a budget hotel. There was coffee and tea available for free which was very nice 😊 Hairdryer is available at the reception. We got breakfast on our last day and the selection was good! Despite small dislikes, i would still return here in the future.
