Poor
Location and staff was friendly
I was really disappointed by this hotel especially after reading so many positive reviews. The hotel is very tired and beat up. The bathroom tile, rug and furniture in our room had stains. The white bedding was clean but had stains. Our TV was broken in our room for the entire stay and the staff never fixed it or offered a refund, upgrade etc. The changing rooms at the pool were damaged. The lobby area was also lame with blankets covering the couches.

Bathroom floor flooded each time I showered. The shower screen is a poor design.

Bathroom smelled of mold. The shower curtain was too short. The sink was low. The price was way too high for the quality of the hotel. I paid 450$ CAD a night and I got a view of a way and the window was next to noisy vent.

Not too much. I wanted to leave
The room had an awful bleach/cleaning solution smell. I had to go buy a scented candle. The lobby design is terrible. Why on earth are there stairs to check in? You have to lug your heavy suitcase up 2 sets of stairs and to get to the elevator bank you have to lift your heavy luggage again. Terrible. For the price you pay, quality is terrible.

The room location was at the bac of the hotel so wasn't exactly quiet as your could hear trolley being pushed around the car park and car doors banging etc and there were also children in a room close by who were very noisy but the location itself was ideally situation in the old town part of Edinburgh
The toilet seat was a right nuisance as each time you sat on it it flipped out of the brackets so was a real pain

Room was very spacious and based in the centre of Edinburgh. The breakfast offered plenty of choice.
