“In my opinion, this hotel's position between Princes Street and the Royal Mile hits a sweet spot for exploring Edinburgh. The staff clearly make an effort, though some rooms may present issues, such as inadequate lighting. With well-equipped rooms and dining on-site, its proximity to Waverley Train Station is a real advantage, but be aware of possible construction noise.”
