Fabulous location from which to explore all Edinburgh has to offer. Relaxed , stylish public areas, great dining room, a super swimming pool and really nice staff.
The hotel was quite costly, but I suppose all city centre hotels of this standard are in the UK

Excellent location, very close to the train station. • Surrounded by shops, restaurants, and cafés. Next to a mall The staff’s service was excellent, and there is a kind female employee who speaks Arabic
The price is a bit high.

We upgraded and had fabulous views from our dual aspect room on the 10th floor. Was a very restful stay. Glad of the air conditioning and we were very comfortable.
The pool was out of action ( too much chlorine) one day. Reception immediately offered a taxi at their expense to the sister hotel at Grassmarket. Very well handled, these things happen.

Pleasant
The property is a good location and isn’t too bad of a price.
Whilst the reception area and pool areas have been renovated and on the face of it it looks a nice hotel, the rooms are sorely in need of renovation. I appreciate the property is an old and likely listed building so I will set aside the fact the windows have peeling paint and are blown/dirty, but there were also water stains on the ceilings, leaking showers, marked walls, poorly flushing toilets. For the overall rating of the hotel you might be tempted to book in for a ‘treat’ as we were thinking it seems decent value, but left a bit disappointed.

The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff The size and facilities in the room The quietness in the room
I was asked to pay for breakfast before I sat down to eat. It just felt a little awkward if honest

Disappointing
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location is a nice easy spot to get around the city.
The room, the bed, the bathroom, the use of pool, the view. Wanted to treat my mother to a nice room to end our UK trip, unfortunately for the money we spent it was not worth it.
