Pros
The inclusive Express Start Breakfast features hot items like bacon, sausages, and scrambled eggs.
Guests have quick access to Edinburgh Waverley station and the airport tram link (10-minute walk).
The hotel is adjacent to OMNI Edinburgh's dining and entertainment options, including a 12-screen cinema.
“What stands out is the location, ideal for theatregoers and shoppers, coupled with remarkably quiet rooms despite the central setting; add to this that the beds are supremely comfortable. The breakfast is generous and the staff consistently helpful, which makes for a convenient and pleasant base for exploring Edinburgh. I think it's a reliable choice.”
