Superb location and pristine rooms

efficient staffclean roomexcellent facilitiesfree concierge
I found the staff very efficient and cute. The room was very clean. The facilities in the room were excellent. Free left luggage concierge allowed us an extra day of sightseeing. I was able to store my luggage without figuring out what to do with it.
The location is slightly out of the city center. The tram stop requires about a ten-minute uphill walk.

The breakfast offers plenty of choices, I noticed. I saw several lighting options in the room, as well as USB charging points. I also used the good WiFi signal which was very useful.
Location

The location is just off Fountainbridge and near Lothian Road. It is a short walk to the trams and just seconds from a main bus route. I found easy walking to Princes Street and the castle.
