The location of the hotel is great, with amazing views of the city from the third floor. But, the decor in the rooms and corridors is a bit tired and the noise from the showers was horrendous - not a pleasant way to be woken up at 6 am on a Sunday from the room next door. Breakfast was ok... More

I booked this hotel for two nights via laterooms and was very disappointed. It was cold and wet outside so after a 5 hour journey I looked forward to a warm comfortable room. After an initial keefuffle at reception over not having a credit card ( I paid in full on my debit card) I was shown my room. The... More

This hotel is just 10 minutes walk from Princes Street in Edinburgh and around 15 minutes walk from the bottom of Royal Mile and the Scottish Parliament which makes it in an ideal location. We were in a garden view room at the back of the hotel so it was very quiet. The room was spacious and clean with all... More

Very pleasant staff generally. Very comfortable beds and the rooms were clean, if tired . Walls in breakfast room were offputting ;needing a good wipe down and fingerprints all over side plates and stain in my cup made me question overall hygiene awareness. More

My partner and I stayed last Easter Bank holiday (2011) - and we had a lovely 1 night stay. The staff were all polite and helpful. They were quite happy for us to leave our bags in reception (in an office) after we checked out, so we could look around the city without dragging them around. The room was very... More

We stayed here as a group in 5 rooms for the weekend. The staff at the hotel were friendly - we flew in early morning and all our rooms were ready - unheard of in most hotels Rooms were spacious, clean, very comfy beds & pillows. Bathroom was large & clean. Pool was small but quiet Liam in the bar... More

We stayed 2 nights with our family in 2 rooms. Reception was not very friendly but I put that down to a language barrier (even in an Englisg speaking country!). Room was lovely and well sized (we were in the -1 level) but the bathroom on this level was very very cold! Breakfast was delicious and service excellent. The hotel... More

Food was of excellent standard Location was good: 10 minute walk to the centre. If arriving by train, get a taxi as quite a long walk with... More

A 2 night stay courtesy of Avios points and overall we had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is on a lovely cobbled terraced street with lovely views. The staff were very friendly especially the young gentleman in the bar (although the prices were way over the odds!). Our room was huge, catering for me, my husband and our 10... More
