Location was perfect!
There is no concierge service and therefore assistance with luggage had to be asked as opposed to being offered. Therefore the reception team had to assist with the luggage if required. Considering a member of the reception team had a disability how can this be expected of them? Found that to be unfair to the reception team.

The location was perfect. Right in the center of the Old Town. Our twin double room was spacious and clean.
It was rather warm in the hallways and the room. The carpeting in the hallways looked old and in our bathroom we had loose tiles with missing grout

Location was convenient, nice to have parking too (although chargeable)
The experience was subpar and did not meet expectation.
We were disappointed with our two rooms. The first hadn't been cleaned properly and had litter on the floor, the second had a really bad smell which I believe emanated from reverse airflow coming from the drains. I was honest with my feedback to reception who listened and dealt with my issue positively. Though they couldn't change rooms there did offer a small discount.
My main issue is that the hotel falls into the tourist trap catagory. Punters will always come due to the draw of the view (the castle) and central location. Subsequently the hotel will always be busy and therefore little time is spent maintaining and upgrading services.
Breakfast was also very slow and substandard.

Absolutely fantastic location and staff were lovely. We were given a room with views of the castle which we weren’t expecting. Perfect spot for exploring Edinburgh. Beds were very comfortable.
The room felt quite dated/worn, due for a refresh. Still great value for money and would stay there again.

Lovely clean rooms with everything we needed. A good breakfast and also a very nice dinner.
There was no information in our room about what the hotel could offer.

The location
It is old, empty shampoo bottle, tiny rooms, many stairs ago climb with your luggage, waiter in the restaurant for two days without deodorant.

The location was perfect, the staff very helpful and accommodating.
Too many stairs. I have a lung condition and have to take oxygen, so the stairs was not good for me. We also had a very noisy room. Room.1012, we could hear every door opening and closing, people walking past on the extremely creaky floor and a generator noise outside the window, so we could not have the window down. Plus for the price we paid for 2 nights, we'd have expected a better view than a brick wall. We were quite disappointed, considering I booked well in advance.

Location. Could not have been better positioned. Easy walking distance to everything we wanted to see.
Difficult access for carrying cases. No Ground floor access the only way in was up a long ramp.

Centrally located in Grassmarket area so easy to access so much nearby. Walkable to many places.
It is a city so there are city sounds. Heard some recycling trucks early in morning but it wasn’t too bad. Again, it’s a busy working city.

My wife fell and fractured her leg at the airport upon arrival in Edinburgh. After an afternoon in the hospital, we arrived at the hotel arranging to fly home the next day.
The staff were very helpful, completely welcoming, and did everything possible to make our short stay as comfortable as possible.
Everyone did all they could to bring cheer to our obviously dismal day, and they did it out of the goodness of their hearts.
We aim to be back next summer and will definitely be staying here.
The hotel room was comfortable, parking was convenient, it seemed to be in a good location (never got to walk around, of course) and the staff were excellent.
Thank you for your information!
