In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
3 reasons to book- Central location near the Playhouse — A short walk from Edinburgh Playhouse, with Waverley Station and the airport tram within 10 minutes on foot. Shops, restaurants, and the theatre are close by.
- Spacious, stylish rooms — Rooms are described as large, well-decorated, and spotless, with comfortable beds, tea and coffee facilities, and some with city views.
- Italian-style breakfast — A continental spread with Italian ham, cheeses, croissants, and freshly squeezed orange juice, served in the bright bar area.

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Breakfast lacks variety — While tasty, the continental breakfast has limited options, especially for those expecting a fuller cooked spread.
- Bathroom fixtures could be better — Some bathrooms are nicely decorated but lack a shelf or windowsill for toiletries, which may be inconvenient.
- Check-in window is fairly narrow — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight would need to make other arrangements.
