Michelin Guide
"Spacious, modern hotel which has undergone a top-to-toe refurbishment."
Star Service
"This hotel lacks the historical ambience of the Caledonian (now part of Waldorf-Astoria) and instead takes a more contemporary stance with more international than local flavor."

Top Choice
"A big (620 beds), bright, modern hostel that feels more like a hotel... A huge bar and a central location just off the Royal Mile make this a favourite place to stay for the young, party-mad crowd."
