Great location with a wonderful view of the Castle. The hotel was clean and comfortable and all the staff were so helpful and friendly.
It was all good.

The location was nice and convenient.
It was very expensive for the room compared to other places. You are just paying for the location, but nothing special about the room.

The location is amazing, we were able to use the parking (first come first serve), the place is clean and the staff if nice

The location was perfect, and we enjoyed having the restaurants across the street
The property and the rooms were definitely overpriced. I know it was a great location, but because of the festival that was in town, I’m sure the rates were jacked up and it was a bit excessive.

Great location overlooking Edinburgh Castle with hotel parking to the rear of the building. Handy for Grassmarket and lots of places to eat. Lovely breakfast at the hotel.
The bathrooms could do with more hanging space for the towels.

We checking out of our Grand Circle room and into the same room for the last two days of our stay. The night crew (before 7 AM, was not familiar with how to accomplish this. We had to wait for the day crew to tell the night crew how to do this.

Gym, breakfast, close to everything. Will definitely consider to book the hotel again.
Design mistake in the toilet due to the sink was just above my knees.
Two gigantic beds could be one bed and some sofa and table could be instead.
Bed was hard and we came from Glasgow where the bed was significantly more comfortable.

Location with view to Edinburgh Castle fantastic. Clean and comfortable
Overly complicated to order room service and get staff to answer the phone once you'd given up trying to download the app. Staff could have mentioned on arrival the ramp which would have made moving luggage much easier.

The location was amazing, and our view (which we paid for) was outstanding. Cleanliness was very good.
There was standing water in the shower, even after we requested that the management look into it. The room smelled musty unless the window to the deck was open. We asked for a key to keep the door to the deck ajar, and were given the incorrect one. We ended up using a sports bra to gap the door and ventilate our room. It is an old hotel that has been updated somewhat unsuccessfully. The breakfasts were fairly mediocre on a European standard.

The room had a view of Edinburgh Castle. The staff were very kind and had friendly smiles.
The bed was comfortable, and I had a pleasant stay.
The bathtub plug was broken, and although they promised to come and fix it the next morning, they didn't show up.
I had been planning to soothe my tired feet in the bathtub, so it was very disappointing.
Thank you for your information!
