Shell Bay

Perfect location, nice staff.

The location was perfect, with only a two-minute walk to Princes Street and Rose Street, easy access to local transport, and just a few more minutes to the Royal Mile. They missed cleaning our room on the second day, and they didn’t change all of our towels on the third day, which I didn’t appreciate. Otherwise it was very clean. There was also no possibility of an early check-in, even though the hotel didn’t seem to be fully booked. We hardly noticed any other guests, so I don’t think the hotel was particularly busy either. The room was, however, decorated with balloons as we were celebrating a 40th birthday, which we really appreciated. The room was very quiet, and the bed was comfortable and not too hard. Having two different sizes of pillows gave us the opportunity to choose based on our preferences. I would definitely consider staying here again!
