I was upgraded to a lovely-sized big room (with large en suite bathroom), with sitting area (large sofa). Great views over roof tops over tot he sea. Bed very comfortable!
Breakfast was fairly standard/basic, although I did manage to have a boiled egg besides cereal and toast and yoghurt! I found the décor a bit dark, so a new lick of lighter paint would make this place really lovely

Pleasant
The hotel is a lovely old Georgian building, it was clean and reasonably well decorated. The room was a good size with tea and coffee and a kettle, the bathroom was very clean and nicely decorated. The location is very good as you're only 10 mins walk from the Royal Mile, loads of shops nearby and plenty of restaurants and cafes and attractions. The pillows on the bed were of good quality and comfy to sleep on and the duvet was warm enough and the bedding was spotless. Most of the staff were helpful and friendly.
The window in the room didn't close completely and being an old sash window it rattled about in the frame all night due to it being very stormy outside which kept me awake a lot, there was also a cold draught from the window. The breakfast was only continental of cold meat, cheese, cold boiled eggs, toast, pastries, cereals, yoghurt and fruit, there was no option of a cooked breakfast which was very disappointing as this was a very cold winters day with snow falling. We were on the 2nd top floor of the hotel which meant having to climb 5 flights of fairly steep stairs, there was no lift and as i have problems with my knees it was difficult every time i needed to go back up to the room. The mattress on the bed was ok but i could feel the springs so it would benefit from a quilted mattress protector or a topper of some sort.

Very Poor
I checked out and found somewhere else to sleep. I was not expecting a single bed and bathroom to be further up the corridor from my room. Room was dated and dingy. No view.

Location of the hotel. The staff that served us breakfast.
We first got a room with springs nearly falling out of the mattress. They changed our room, but it didn't have a lock, we just did not want to change it again, so we made sure to take our valuables with us. Then we got called into reception because apparently we didn't pay, but the money has gone from my account. The lady kept insisting that it's our fault for booking through booking.com and that she has been doing this for 20 years, and did not want to give them a ring, even though I showed her that the money has gone from my account. So after, five minutes of discussion, I gave them a ring myself, and the lady from booking.com have called the hotel to explain to the lady how to collect the payment.
