The breakfast is excellent, and the location is fab close enough to shops, restaurants, pubs and public transport, free museum, parks, food and supermarket, and public transport. Make sure to get guest room with fans, a double bed, for example. Will be back, it's a quiet place.

As for me, the location was marvellous and fab, near Gloucester Road tube station and lots of cafes and shops, how to buy transportation tickets for optimal price and tube and Albert Hall. Also, such main attraction as Grassmarket was 2 km from this hotel. Got triple room with three beds, on-suite bathroom, as for instance as expected.
The staff were not so friendly, didn't expect that coming.
