Great location, good hotel , room tv and entertainment options quite below par. Bath amenities below par. Heat system only a couple hours a day, but enough. It’s a good hotel, but it feels like they cut expenses wherever they can. Front desk people are nice people but you still feel like a number.

Great location to explore Edinburgh, I'd come back here for sure. It would be nice if breakfast was included for the price, but otherwise no complaints.

Nice cosy hotel in a great location. Bit basic but only stayed for one night during the festival so was ideal for that. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

Convenient hotel near Edinburgh Waverly station

The hotel is an older stately building which has been adapted to have rooms. While the rooms are furnished in a more traditional manner, they are small by contemporary standards and there was no easy means to cool them down other than opening the windows. The rooms were clean and comfortable but street noise could be an issue when the windows were open. The hotel is well located near many restaurants, cafes and shops, and a 5-10 minute walk from Edinburgh Waverly station.

Short break at Parliament House

Nice friendly and helpful staff with a well-appointed room. Blackout curtains good, but a little short, (with strange TV flashing lights during the night). Excellent location.

Okay, expensive for what it was.

Pleasant enough, but I thought expensive for what it provided. Breakfast was nice (£18), better value hotels available.
