Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's central location, making it convenient for exploring the city. The staff received high marks for their friendliness and helpfulness, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. Many guests enjoyed the breakfast options, describing them as delicious and varied. Comfortable beds were also noted as a positive aspect. However, noise from the street and surrounding areas was a common complaint, with several guests mentioning disturbances late at night or early in the morning. Despite some issues with noise and occasional concerns about cleanliness and accessibility, the overall experience was positive, especially due to the location, service, and breakfast quality.

Pros (+) This is the 2nd time I've stayed at Ricks and will probably use it again. My son is at uni in Edinburgh so this is an inexpensive place to stay in when I visit him. Food is great and reasonable price, found drinks very expensive though.
