    Lovely hotel close to everything

    Room was badly arranged and a bit of a squeeze

    comfortable rooms, good location, nice friendly and helpful staff

    "Ths is a very good location for visiting central Edinburgh. The staff is excellant. Airport, sightseeing and local buses are right there along with a taxi stand. The only complaint was the hotel food. Breakfast is a full Scottish, nothing else is available. There was a dinner menu but I soon found out why the place was empty every evening. Across the street was Jenner's Department Store where I had breakfast several mornings in their cafe. Also across the street was a full grocery store which helped cut my meal costs." (97542929)

    "Good position. No major problems and would def stay again. " (108003247)

    Good sized room. Pleasant, helpful & polite staff. Restaurant staff particularly good

    Room needed more dusting e.g. mirror was covered in dust. Additional pillow and blanket were not available in the room - had to be ordered. Coffee/tea tray - sufficient sachets not provided - had to be ordered.

    "But for the off-putting stairs and poor views, i valued the helpful attitude of staff greatly and the rooms were adequate enough for the price to make me have a very comfortable stay." (99903345)

    1. Superbly kind and helpful staff. 2. Comfortable enough room with extra pillows! 3. good restaurant.

    1. Stairs up to reception a very poor welcoming point when one arrives tired with luggage and/or has a disability. 2. The two single rooms i booked had appalling views over the the back service stairs for a hotel with some of the best views in town (the curse of the single travellers i suppose). 3. Single rooms could do with a minibar and hair-drying etc. facilities (single travellers are human too :)

    "Overall a bit over-priced for what it was, but it was central Edinburgh, very well located, and perfectly adequate for my purpose." (107143246)

    location ideal for my business plenty of tea/coffee in room surprisingly quiet (once I'd silenced air-con) nice bathroom helpful staff

    not aware when booking that there were stairs up to reception (could have mattered if I'd had heavier luggage) no iron and ironing board in room room would have been very small for two people - just about OK for one no proper window/daylight in room only breakfast option very expensive at £12 - but plenty of cafes in vicinity

    "Convenient location, hotel seemed recently refurbished so was clean and bathrooms new. " (97351253)

    Clean hotel. Great location. Beautiful views. Friendly staff. Great beds, shower. Nice restaurant.

    Some street noise with windows open, but was quiet inside. Only one small elevator--sometimes had to wait awhile because it was full. Restaurant had good food but not much variety.

    Hotel was tastefully decorated. The room was very comfortable, warm, clean and also tastefully decorated. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

    The meals were too expensive for us to take advantage of them, unfortunately.

    Surprised that the only way to get a room was via internet, and surprised that it was cheaper than your normal rate. Guess you dont mind paying commissions!

    "I chose the hotel because the price was very good and the location was excellent. In these parameters, we were not disappointed. The room was barely adequate, however. There was no drawer space and barely anyplace to put our suitcase. The hotel, although clean, needs some sprucing up. Finally, the buffet breakfast was barely adequate - almost pathetic." (97523620)

    Great location. Great view. Relatively good price.

    Room too small, no place to put things (no drawer space whatsoever), hotel has seen better days

    The hotel was very clean,the staff were very pleasant & helpful and they were all very polite and friendl. The location of the hotel was very good as just down the street was the railway,where we arrive which is ideal for me as I'm 70+

    My daughter & myself didn't find any bad points

    Staff - very friendly. Good at welcoming and remembering who we were. Great service. Great location.

    Facilities could have been much better. Towels were poor. Bed - mattress needed replacing; bedclothes not great. Bar food - ok, but not great. Feels like a good hotel which could be much better without spending a huge amount more on it.

    "5 Stars for this Hotel...Would stay again, only if Wireless Internet were free or much more reasonably priced." (108065199)

    Excellent Staff...Friendly and very attentive. Excellent Restaurant with Excellent Food and Servers...very attentive.

    Wifi charge for 24 hours at $10.00 is a major "rip off". Wireless internet for guests of a Hotel has been free for many years, at most recognized Hotels.

    "The initial room we were given was at the top and on the inside (i.e. no view) and it was small. However, it was clean and pleasant and what we were expecting, considering the good price we got. However, it did smell smoky, even though it was a non-smoking room. I asked the staff politely if they could possibly change the room for us. They were understanding and helpful and though they couldn't do anything that night they did change us the next morning and gave us an excellent room which we were even more happy with." (97744999)

    It was very central and the staff were helpful

    The bathrooms were new and very nice but the sinks were oddly difficult to use. It's a small complaint. Also, the first room we were given smelled of smoke.

    The hotel is very conveniently located and I had no problem getting around.

    There was no lift leading from ground floor to first floor reception. Quite inconvenient for travellers with heavy luggage.

    "Really liked this hotel,old fashioned but I prefer the older buildings in a city break. Was worth paying a little more for the superior room.Buffet breakfast great, staff very friendly.Stop for open top bus just across the road so we managed to cram a lot of sightseeing into our stay." (97774941)

    Location of hotel great,Princes St opp train station.Stayed in a superior room on the corner with superb views of street and castle.Being xmas we had the fair and market right out side, so perfect for us.

    Nothing i disliked

    The room was very nice and the staff could not do enough for you

    As it was xmas and we were at the front of the hotel on the second floor, the noise of the fair and the main road did have an effect on us being able to sleep properly

    "My son was unable to access the internet on his computer. We would like to have known how suitable the rooms were for internet access. We were told that the rooms had internet access but, on arrival, found that my son could not gain access, even the reception area proved problematic. If we had known this, we could have left his computer at home in Sheffield, rather than bringing it to Scotland. Further, because the window lock in our room was broken, my son had to take his computer with him to breakfast as he didn't feel it was safe to leave it in the room. However, we did leave the computer with reception when we went out in the evening." (97532768)

    The room and beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and modern and we like clean white towels!!!

    Our bedroom window lock was broken so felt unsafe about leaving valuables in room. The view from the window was pretty unattractive too

    The location was the best about this facility. We were steps away from everything we wanted to do.

    I felt as if the bedding was a bit old for the price we were paying for this location. Also, the menu for dinner was very small...and then they didn't have the one thing we wanted!

Overall, however, for the accommodation, it was very overpriced, especially as we had to pay extra for breakfast! In summary, although the hotel was very pleasant, clean and comfortable, IT WAS NOT THE 4* ACCOMMODATION WE SHOULD HAVE GOT FOR THE PRICE WE PAID" (97710386)

    Room was recently decorated, beds very comfortable.

    Washbasin too high- wife could hardly reach it and bath side too high to step into shower. Lift VERY small
