I had previously stayed at this hotel and forgot about the bottle bank, but god how quickly I remembered it. Over two nights I was kept awake by the extremely hot room, so the window was wide open and the excessive noise of all local businesses emptying their bottles into the bins adjacent to the rooms from 10pm until 1.45am,...

It's nothing like Tiger LIlly It may be on the same website but they are poles apart in every aspect Difficult to find I know Edinburgh quite well but this is tucked down below street level with no...

We stayed for a couple of night’s midweek break and it turned out to be a good choice. Having arrived by train into Waverly, the walk to the hotel took no more than 10 minutes. The central location is one of the hotel’s strong points as apart from our trip to Britannia where we took the bus, everything else was... More

Really enjoyed this small boutique hotel, rooms clean and well equipped (even an ipod with music) the lounge was busy but well run. Only downside was breakfast service, took 15 minutes to get served a cup of lukewarm coffee, decided against ordering breakfast and went elsewhere (shame) More

We took advantage of the hotel group's spring offer, which consisted of a night's stay, 2 course dinner (from the resident's menu), bottle of prosecco and breakfast for 2. We arrived slightly early and were expecting to have to sit in the bar for half an hour until we were allowed to check in. However, the staff member could not... More

Arrived very late (nearly 11 pm), staff were very helpful and got me to my room which was just perfect, had good nights sleep and enjoyed an excellent breakfast the only sad thing was they asked me to read the Scotsman. Staff knew I was going to another group hotel and offered to take my luggage what service! Great central... More
