I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were compact but spotlessly clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The service was exceptional, with the staff being ever so helpful. The location was fantastic, despite needing some walking, and the dining experience was wonderful. The facilities were great overall with everything I needed during my stay.

As a solo traveler, the hotel was perfect for me. The rooms were clean and modern with plenty of plugs and everything I needed, although the noise from the cobblestone road outside with loud passing cars could be bothersome. The staff were very helpful and issued me with maps and information I requested, making my stay enjoyable. The location was very good, within a short walk to all main attractions and the old city center, despite some confusion with Google Maps. The dining experience was very good and classy, with a cozy room and friendly professional staff, although breakfast was considered optional and a bit expensive for my preferences.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were small and not as clean as expected, but they were comfortable. However, the noise disturbance was a major drawback. On the positive side, the service was top-notch and the location couldn't have been better for my needs.

The hotel rooms are done to an excellent standard with tea and coffee making facilities, cloud-like beds, and an awesome shower, creating a nice and modern, slightly industrial ambiance. I had an unexpected charge this month, which was a bit inconvenient.

The hotel's location is really hard to beat, especially considering the price. It's quite good, about 20 minutes from both St Andrews station and Edinburgh castle, and 15 minutes from Waverley train station.

The dining experience was exceptional, with fresh grapefruit and orange segments instead of the usual tinned options. However, there was no flexibility when changing a booking to a room that was less expensive, and breakfast was removed.

Despite the fact that many of the hotel's patrons, my wife and I included, evacuated into the cold rainy street to breakfast, the hotel was very warm the night we stayed, even with the window open. The rooms were very clean, and we would definitely book again.
