What people say

The location was great, just a stones throw from shops, theatre/bars/restaurants, Princes Street and other attractions. The staff very helpful (especially the doorman-William), the rooms were very well equiped, clean and tidy and escaped out onto a rooftop expance that gave great views out over Edinburgh. The quality of food was good, I would definately stay there again. Everything. We were given a rooftop garden room which affords great views over Calton Hill and towards the sea. The beds are very luxurious. The hotel is near all the main shopping and attractions. The honesty bar is great and reflects well on the hotel. Breakfast was right out of the top drawer. 1st class break.

The staff were very friendly and most helpful. the staff were very professional an friendly.The outsite garden, honesty bar and the bed. Its location, Confort, Relaxed atmosphere.Very comfortable bed and lovely breakfast. Rooms fantastic size bed so comfortable. Quiet, private and very friendly staff. lovely room,friendly staff,top quality. the ambiuance and atmostphere. everything, excellent stay. the only downer was that on the second day, after the room was serviced, milk/coffee had not been replenished. But that could have been rectified if required and is only a very small niggle. We felt that the movies were over priced at more than £10.00 per film. Ditto with the mini-bar, though we enjoyed the £5.00 jelly beans! :). Nothing I didn'tlike, but felt that our price which was a special deal made it very worthwhile and value for money, however I wouldnot have said the same if we paid full price. The TV could have been more modern - i.e. an LCD with more freeview channels.being really picky, but you could hear minor noise of nearby nightclub which may annoy some people(we didnt mind). The only thing that bothered us a little was the enclosed air system. The breakfast was not well organised at all and was not up to 5* standard but overall great visit to get away for a night. Ease of dropping off/picking up baggage at the curb (busy street). Nope. Perfect. no restaurant. The heating was a bit noisy. only let down was one of the staff members present at breakfast time. middle aged lady. very rude and unfriendly in manner.Bed to soft, Very squeeky bed and floor. N parking and could not drop off bags easily as taxi rank is thonly place to drop off and they move you on.
