    It was centeral to the city.

    We feel breakfast should have been included in the cost,the additional cost of breakfast for 3 mornings did add significantly to the total cost of our stay.

    "Generally fine." (107106128)

    Clean, comfortable.

    Room was not cleaned when we asked it to be. (only happened once) Considering the cost, I think it would be reasonable to include breakfast.

    "(+)Excellent location, helpful staff, good refurbished rooms, some parking available (£15 per night). (-) Too much noise and banging of doors (very thin walls, you can hear people talking next door!)" (97303757)

    Newly refurbished, helpful staff

    Lots of noise (very thin walls and doors), hairdryer is there but nowhere to connect to (not thought through), hot and cold taps are mixed up, etc. A bit more thinking and planning could have helped

    "Very good value for money in the heart of Edinburgh. Delivered everything of a better class hotel that everbody can afford. When staying in Edinburgh again would not spend any time trolling through net to find any better." (97028070)

    The beds were an absolute dream to sleep in, wish I could have slept later.

    When leaving accommodation key locked out and was unable to return to pick up something I had left.

    Nice hotel layout and setup. Good ccentral location.

    Expensive for what was on offer-breakfast not even included in relatively high price.

    The initial welcome to the hotel was good.

    The room was not cleaned properly Dangerous objects were left in the room. The hotel overcharged on room service.

    Courteous and friendly staff. Breakfast was good

    Electrics in room. Loose connections on kettle and iron. Iron did not work and one light bulb flickered constantly so main lights had to be turned off. Poor drainage on washhand basin meant that sink was overflowing before water got hot.

    They upgraded me to a suite! I was a happy bunny. Everything worked, the whole process was very relaxed, great location and fantastic value for money.

    Very little. A couple of minor niggles, but nothing of any note.

    centrally located & comfortable accommodation, overall the hotel is has the attributes of four star accommodation.

    Hotel restaurant food portions are to small, over priced and of moderate quality. Bar food is cheaper and better quality. Far to much street noise in bedrooms, window glazing is poor for noise insulation. Lack of air conditioning is a negative.

Luckly i had the confirmation number with me so it got sorted out in the end... after 30 minutes of waiting in reception! On the up side the staff were really helpful and the room was nice. The hotel has a brilliant location and if you cant get parked in the hotel car park there is a public NCP car park right next door which costs " (97622255)

    "The hotel was conveniently located with respect to the city center and train and airport shuttle transportation at Waverly Station. The Saturday night rate was extremely high compared to the week night rates. We were a party of three staying in a suite and the bed in the bedroom as well as the convertable sofa bed were VERY uncomfortable." (97689959)

    "The hotel was very pleasant and couldnt have been better situated for the playhouse theatre breakfast first class and it certainly was advantageous to prebook breakfast. One small defect - bathroom sink was cracked right across the middle and they had made an attempt to fix it with sealant but it looked terrible it would have paid to have the job done properly. very clean and tidy and we would certainly use this hotel for our future overnight stays" (97419373)

    very central and close to Playhouse where we were at a concert plus convenient ncp car park

    "The rooms at a quick glance are pleasing on the eye , however the rooms are becoming tired/ slightly tatty !!!!!!!!! Upon closer inspection , the carpet is coming away at the joins , the window could not be left ajar , only by inserting a old piece of wood left on the window ledge could you keep the window ajar,some of the heating/ piping is old , shabby, dust which has obviosly been there for a longgggggggg period lies collecting more dust. I had stayed there also two weeks previous , the tv did not work , the messages received light on the fone did not work , i mentioned this at check out , but the receptionist did not make a note of these observations , she just said it would be looked into!!!! The hotel cannot be faulted on its location , 3 and a half stars is just about right , if it ever wanted to gain four stars a lot more attention to detail needs to be rectified." (97011509)

    Location, really comfortable beds.

Was given a very good sized room (albeit it with a slightly squashed bathroom). The hotel was better than I expected and would consider staying there again." (99320531)

    Was pleasantly surprised at the good sized room. Location is excellent, and therefore very good value for money. Would stay again.

With the hotel located at the end of Princes St and George St it ticked all these boxes. The room was clean and a good standard. The hotel was also close to St James NCP carpark which offered reasonably priced parking. Definately will go back if we are in Edinburgh again." (99581346)

    "My husband is blind and as we were travelling with a guide dog the ease of access and location were important so we were pleased to find the hotel suited us perfectly. We found the staff to be very efficient and attentive but not in your face if you know what I mean.Excellent choice at breakfast and thought the room service/restaurant prices reasonable. We are planning another stay to do some shopping soon and can relax and look forward to it now. Thankyou." (99606302)

    The overall standard of facilities, central location and ease of access,also the room was extremely comfortable

    Only trivial things-extractor fan in bathroom wasn't working and I would have preferred a pot of coffee at breakfast rather than having to refill my cup but I'm sure if I'd mentioned this it would have been changed!
