The hotel was easy to find but a bit out of the centre of Edinburgh. Buses were regular and right outside, costing £1 to get to either the Royal Mile or Princes Street and about £5 back by taxi.
It was a buffet breakfast, but there was not much left when we had ours (about 30 mins before last orders) so we had to request more food. This was made for us as requested and was very nice, but did not feel it was for us to point out that it had ran out.
The staff were very friendly. However, we felt it was suited for older clients, and we did not have an en suite which I guess many places provide as standard nowadays. I guess this is why it was cheaper than other hotels.
Overall, very nice, but nothing special. And I did not appreciate the charge for using Debit Cards. You quite often see credit card charges, but not debit cards.
