Once the renovations are all done this will be a fantastic place, I stayed in the featured room on the Website, it was very well laid out, bathroom was great, nice TV and amazingly private for such a central location. Traffic noise is not a problem, some of the internal door bang shut, but I'm sure this will be sorted... More

When we arrived we saw that the both the bar and restaurant were closed for restoration, I had, to be fair, been informed by the Hotel manager. On entry to the stair and then the room it can be clearly seen that there has been a lot of money and time spent on the decor. The rooms were both very... More

Size and modern furnishings made this room a delightful place. The staff extended themselves to compensate for a reception area undergoing major renovation the morning after we arrived. Towels were thick and oversized. Electronics were state of the art. It would be great to return one day and see how remodeling has changed it. Excellent location for sightseeing and dining... More

Iv just returned from a short trip away doing business and stayed in what can only be described as a fantastic, charming and all round delightful place to stay. Our room was spotless, the rainfall styled showers were a great wake up in the mornings and the bed was most comfortable. Breakfast was a joy the following morning! The bar... More

Fantastic hotel, fantastic location, amazing rooms with friendly and helpful staff. Can not recommend this hotel enough. Prior to booking I did my research via Trip advisor then found a deal on line.

We arrived by train from London and I took us to Waverly Bridge rather than Waverley stairs. Of course this meant a long trek dragging large suitcases (plus got lost) up the hill, so by the time we reached the hotel we were obviously looking a bit jaded. (we are in our 60's). We knew from TA that the reception... More

We stayed here for 3 nights in early April with a couple of friends to attend a wedding. The remainder of our party were at the Radisson Blue, virtually next door. The virtual tour was deceptive. Certainly, the rooms were well finished and the bed was very comfortable, but not all bedrooms have a full bathroom ensuite. Although we had... More

I stayed at Bank Hotel last weekend with my wife on a two night trip to Edinburgh. The hotel is very handy for the train station and local tourist spots.
