Best location. Staff welcoming and very helpful in all areas. Could do with a bit of a refurb. Some areas are a bit tired. Breakfast was great, full Scottish. Had dinner one night which was lovely. Prices in restaurant reasonable except even if you just have a drink, a service charge is added which was a bit annoying. Bathroom in our room was a bit claustrophobic and the glass shower door needed to be wider as a bit useless. Floor was always completely soaked by the time you finished. Great aircon. Overall a good experience but needs a bit of attention in some areas, and price point is a bit high for what it is.

A 3-night stay away from London. Hotel in superb location for entertainment and shopping. however, it was a little noisy but not diminishing the overall satisfaction of the mini-break. Room a little warm with premises not advertised with AC, later advised to us upon check-out.

Hotel gives you everything you need

Really pleased with the hotel. Great communication pre arrival. Staff on reception were very helpful, we had 3 rooms and they put us all next to each other. We had the standard queen room the bed were very comfortable and clean, good shower too. Nice bathroom products. The breakfast was excellent great hot variety, haggis and additional bits were really tasty. Hotel location brilliant, very central for all the Edinburgh sites, shops, buses. Hotel was value for money, overall it added to our great weekend.

Made our trip special.

The hotel was booked as a surprise trip for my 18 year old twins. The hotel upgraded their room and gave them a fantastic view of the castle - they are History students, so they were over the moon! They also received a birthday card and glass of wine from the hotel. The room was lovely, the staff were friendly, we really couldn't ask for anything more. I'm sure we will come back to Edinburgh soon and we wont hesitate to stay here again.

Great location. Breakfast was good. Hotel is renovated, but the core of the building is dated. I was given a room for disabled persons and unfortunately the shower was just an open shower head in the bathroom - no curtain or shower enclosure.
