Once in our room it was very quiet. Stay Central rooms were more spacious than we expected and the whole place had a lot of charm. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was a little later than usual at 8am but they did pack a breakfast to go so we could catch the bus. ##### Shelly Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen Aug 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Located just off the Royal Mile provides easy access to shopping, restaurants and sightseeing. Be prepared for steps, hills and plenty of walking within this downtown area which offers so much. Rooms were quiet and the attached bar offered plenty of evening entertainment. ##### Stephen Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy Jun 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay.

Thanks ##### Nancy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Sep 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is clean and nicely modernized, and is in a 'college and arts' section of the city. There are many cutural institituions nearby. However, it can be noisy at night, especially due to the large gathering space next door and the almost nightly music. ##### Robert Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the party room!!!!

Was very easy to walk to all the major attractions: Edinburgh castle, Royal Mile, Greyfriars Kirkyard, etc. Great spot for younger travelers as you can enjoy the Three Sisters bar just downstairs at night and especially on the weekends. Had a great time with my friends. Only downside is that the room was a little stuffy, but we made sure to leave windows open. Would definitely recommend for the convenience and location. ##### Ryan Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tera Aug 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities It was a great location but the communication was poor for parking and it was noisy ##### Tera Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Convenient walk to Underground Vaults, Grassmarket, Victoria Street,Greyfriar Kirk, Royal Mile.

Clean rooms and very friendly staff. It should be known that walking with luggage from Waverly station is possible but difficult given the hilly terrain. Also, there’s a club just down the street that is open late every night, and it’s quite noisy. Not a deal breaker, especially if that’s what you’re looking for, but good to be aware of! ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jesse May 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel with Pub Interesting little hotel that is connected to a pub with a courtyard.
