Location
You're in a great New Town location, close to the shops on George Street as well as cultural hotspots including the city's two main art galleries.
The hotel is on St Andrew Square, within walking distance of Waverley Station.
By car: over an hour from Glasgow, 2 hours 30 minutes from Newcastle and 4 hours 30 minutes from Manchester. Paid parking available nearby.
By train: Glasgow Queens Street to Edinburgh Waverley takes around 50 minutes, it's 3 hours from Manchester Piccadilly and 4 hours 45 minutes from London Kings Cross - after which, it's a 5-minute walk to the hotel. Book trains to Edinburgh.
Style
The hotel comprises an original Georgian townhouse and modern extension, although you'll struggle to tell the difference between the two from the interior as the charcoal grey, aubergine and ruby red colour scheme sweeps throughout.
Service & Facilities
Staff are young and confident with buckets of enthusiasm. There's a glamorour bar and small bright pink lounge. There's no on-site parking, but you do receive a generous 40 per cent discount at a nearby car park.
