Wonderful

Loved this hotel from the friendly welcome at reception to the dining and complimentary drinks. I really loved all the small details and amenities in the room. Espresso, tea, extra luxury toiletries, bathrobe and slippers, and great AC/heat control made our experience wonderful. Train is a few minutes walk as is the Royal mile. Perfect location. The only thing is the heavy construction noise from very early on the morning.
This was a great place to stay. Hotel was clean, great rooms, comfortable beds. It was convenient to the Royal mile, train station and easy to navigate around. The only issue was the big construction site in the back. Not the hotel’s fault but the room we had faced the back and construction stared at 7:00 am.
Rooms were ok but not much room to move. Staff average at best. Location close to train station and downtown. Far from airport.

Easy check in. Overall clean. No public toilets and had to use a separate room with lots of skid marks and awful smell. Lots of noise in our room from the street and the couple next door between midnight and 7am.
Lovely room and wonderful breakfast but disappointed with the restaurant in the evening. Last year the food was amazing but this year no where near as good
Wonderful clean room with a fantastic view at the front of the hotel. Very good location to all of the city ( you can walk everywhere) wonderful breakfast with amazing fresh food. The staff go above and beyond to help you. There is building work going on which means it is sometimes noisy but it wasn’t a big distraction
Being in Edinburgh for the first time it was so convenient for walking, exploring and scenery. The staff were so pleasant and helpful. Even staff walking around would be so quick to ask if we needed anything. We were there for 3 days and left on a tour for 5. Returning again and they let us store our luggage.

King room was of adequate size and the bed was good. 2 towers of rooms separated by a breezeway. Extensive Breakfast was good. Adjacent construction was noisy although some rooms were not affected. Location near the train station can be helpful. There is a short walk to the Royal Mile which was packed with people. Front desk staff was very helpful

Tattoo stay
Check in excellent. Room not too bad although being at the rear of hotel our room looked directly onto multi story building site and they started work very early. One one chin in room which was poor for a top end room. Bar and lounge could be more comfortable. Overall. Hotel was ok but very very very expensive.
Friendly and helpful staff! Beautiful room. VERY short walk from train station. Very close to Royal Mile, tour buses, and dining places. Excellent breakfast provided in morning. Would highly recommend staying at this hotel, especially if it is your first visit to Edinburgh.
The location in old town and next to Edinburgh Waverly was great. However, there is construction directly adjacent to the hotel with signs saying PPE needed. The close/alley to the hotel was litteres. The rooms were clean but dated. Our phone in the room did not work.
Extensive building work was being carried out which upset the running of the hotel. We were only there for 2 nights and when we arrived earlier to leave bags before check-in time we wanted to have coffees etc. Staff were polite but toilets we're all unavailable downstairs. We had to go to a room on the 5th floor to use the toilet. After we checked in the room was ok but a bit shabby for the price. It smelt of dampness in the bathroom. There was no light near the wardrobe so difficut to see into. The room temp was set and the air conditioning was not working making it uncomfortably warm overnight. We could also hear workmen's tools. We tried a couple of times to have dinner and bar meals but there was a problem with gas and most of what we chose was unavailable. It was a shame. I must say though the breakfasts in the hotel were excellent and well worth the cost. All of the staff were very good and very helpful but a warning about the building work may have helped. At almost £1000 for two nights it was disappointing.
dampness in the bathroom.
