Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms may be small and basic — Some guests found the rooms compact, though they were considered adequate for sightseeing trips. The property itself is a 3-star.
- Possible noise between rooms — Thin walls were noted in a review, so you may hear neighbours. Soundproofed rooms are listed as an amenity, but cannot guarantee silence.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking, which could be a drawback for those arriving by car in central Edinburgh.

8.1Verified guest“We visited the castle and the Christmas Market — both super close. Staff were helpful, breakfast was solid. Just a heads up, the walls can be a bit thin, so you might hear some noise. Definitely recommend for a fun group trip.”
