The location is excellent
First night we had a very small room with view from windows obstructed by a fence and concrete. There were no slippers or bathrobes. After complaining at the reception, we were moved into a much better room, with city view.

Despite the hotel being busy (and it seems to attract bus loads) check-in was efficient and prompt. The bar is delightful and the dining facilities very good (we only had breakfast but it was great)

The room was great and they had a gym which I used a couple of times and pool that my wife used a couple of times, great to clear the jet lag and get the kinks out.

Friendly crew. Great location.
The lamps were partially working & not holding desired position. The fix - was pending. Also, I used the "Do not desturbed" sign.

Close to train station and Old Town. The room and bathroom were large and very quiet.
The restaurant food wasn’t very good, so we only ordered room service once. The only plug next to the bed didn’t work so it was difficult to charge our phones.

Disappointing
Good location.
My room was not serviced at all during my stay, and room service food trays of other guests were left in hallways for long periods. It was unpleasant to walk past.

Room was modern, clean, very comfortable. Hotel location is landmark central in the city of Edinburgh. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Early flight arrival from Canada but the Hotel's desk stored our luggage for us and we began touring the city first thing in the morning of arrival.
No complaints, Rates are expensive. (but very competitive in the local market for luxury accommodations)
