Very spacious & clean room with as standard tea, coffee, fan etc. City centre, next door to a post office with many bars, restaurants, shops all within a few steps. Princess Street only 2 mins walk away. Railway station only 10 mins walk away. I paid £67 each night on a Saturday & Sunday for a single room but ended up with a family room......amazing value for money. Very impressive hotel from outside, inside and staff. Off the Charts.

    Amazing hotel in the center. Ideal location. Tram nearby, bus stops in all directions. A small supermarket nearby. Lots of cafes. I had a room on the 4th floor overlooking the courtyard. Noise was heard from the ventilation system of the adjacent building. I recommend using earplugs. The room had everything you needed. Also a small refrigerator. The bed is very comfortable. Cleaning will work very well. The only downside is very bad wi fi. But it didn't bother me because I use mobile internet. I highly recommend this hotel.
