Stayed here recently while on a business trip. The staff were really superb, friendly and very helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. One of us is a vegetarian, and even on the smaller menu included in our deal, there were two beautiful and unusual choices. Lovely rooms, and great atmosphere in the bar/restaurant. Breakfast were again superb, including a full vegetarian... More

I was recently tempted into Rick's by promising advertising and imagery but was left very disappointed. Appearances can be deceptive. The starter was bland and the main was very basic in comparison to its description on the menu. The unnecessary presentation of food on wooden platters, slates and in various ceramic dishes was clearly an attempt to mask the poor... More

Booked on a 5pm deal and thought it was fab value. The room was very comfortable and although some furniture was slightly damaged (mentioned in previous review) it made no difference to our stay as it was cosmetic. Facilities in the room are great; hair dryer, ghd's, tea and coffee making, well stocked mini bar, ironing board etc. Few small... More

I came here with my group of ladies on my hen do & would recommend this hotel. Location is ideal on Fredrick street so ideal for Waverley Station, Princes Street, Hard Rock cafe, city bus tours etc. Staff were friendly; checking in and settling the bill on check out was easy and we had no problems. The rooms are very... More

Just arrived back from an overnight stay in this hotel. We stayed on the 'desk til dawn' offer in a twin room. When we were shown to our room we experienced a very bad smell, a smell that meant we wouldn't be able to sleep in the room that night. I spoke to reception and we were moved instantly. We... More

From the moment we were welcomed to the minute we left, we couldn't have asked for a better experience! We had not seen friends for nearly 2 years and chose Ricks as it is one of our favourites and knew our friends, from London, would love it just as much. Our waitress, sadly I have forgotten her name, was very... More

Had an overnight stay here on a 5pm.com deal and what a great deal it was - a night's accommodation, 3 course meal, a cocktail & full breakfast. From the minute we walked in the door the welcome & efficiency of the staff were the best I have ever experienced. Our room was on the second floor & really nice... More

This hotel is ideally located just off George Street in Edinburgh. The rooms were lovely and the staff very friendly and welcoming. We had a meal in the hotel and it was really lovely. It had a buzz about it and we stayed for drinks after our meal. The breakfast the next morning was amazing. Highly recommend staying here.

This place is perfect for central pied a Terre in Edinburgh. We stayed on a business trip for one night and for the price the room is great. The iPod dock, mini bar and GHDs are all lovely extras that you wouldn't expect. My room was on the third floor so was generally quiet. The curtains came off the rail... More
