Pros (+) The location is excellent, both for seeing the city, and for transport (the airport bus stops 100 meters from the door, and the Waverley station entrance is not much farther

Pros (+) I thought it was a lovely budget hotel and the location to all the attractions was perfect. I would recommend this hotel to travellers.
Cons (-) I didn't like that I had to pay inflated prices because the festival was on. Also I took I'll with a bug so didn't have as good as stay as planned. Nothing to do with the hotel I might add.

Pros (+) It was situated in a perfect place, a stones throw from the bus stop for the airport shuttle & from princes street. The room was stylish and could only have been made better by placing plugs in better location. .
Cons (-) Overall 9/10, only slight issue was plug situation and breakfast was expensive
