Rooms feature modern amenities including free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and monsoon rain showers.
The One Lounge offers a relaxed space with views of Princes Street and a continental breakfast option.
Edinburgh Waverley Station is just a 5-minute walk away, facilitating citywide travel.
Cons
Limited onsite dining options beyond the bar's snacks and breakfast selection.
The busy Princes Street location may result in occasional street noise.
“For a city center stay, this property impresses with its prime location near the train station and the comfortable, well-maintained rooms, plus, the staff's attentiveness stood out. The in-house bar, with its city views, is a real find and a welcome bonus. It's a particularly solid choice, in my opinion.”
