location was really great i must admit. the access to transportation was easy to find. also, the rooms were actually pretty quiet, what was nice.
The hairdryer in my room did not work. staff replaced it for me, but it was still an inconvenience in the morning. the overhead shower was misaligned. It soaked most of the bathroom.

Excellent Location and Cozy Rooms

The hotel's proximity to King's Cross made our early train to Edinburgh very convenient. Staff accommodated us by storing our luggage upon arrival. The location is near shops and food options, and provides easy access to transportation for exploring the city.
The housekeeper entered our room while I was in the bathroom, which startled my daughter. This occurred at 6 pm after we experienced a delay in accessing our room.

Our room had a fine view we enjoyed with espresso each morning. The room was quiet and cozy. It included everything we needed, despite being compact, so that was okay.

The hotel is in a VERY convenient location next to the train station. The staff members were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Breakfast had good options and the food was tasty. My room was quiet. This was excellent considering the busy central location.
The room was smaller than I expected. I had to walk to the end of the corridor to make a cup of tea. It would have been better to have tea-making facilities in the room ITSELF.
