This hotel was very centrally located in the Grass market. We could walk to various spots including Edinburgh Castle. The staff was very helpful. I broke a bottle in my bathroom last night and was mortified. There are so many nice breakfasts places I wldnt suggest buying breakfast at hotel.

Centrally located
The hotel is centrally located, but it’s also very quiet. One of the elevators was out of order throughout our stay, so it was always a wait to leave the room in the morning due to the elevator being packed. The room was quite outdated with not so clean carpet and the floor was uneven in one part of the room. The extra chair in the room had multiple stains and there was a dark red stain on the carpet. The service was excellent and we were given a heater within 10min of arriving since the heating in the room wasn’t working. I also stayed in Apex City of London and this hotel was run down compared to the London one. However, the bathrooms were clean and modern and price for the location was excellent.
