Very Good
Views were stunning
The restaurant staff were not very knowledgeable of the menu resulting in us ordering something that was not as described. Breakfast room was almost thrown together and out of step with the building.

Views from location great, getting there in Friday rush hour nit great. Breakfast basic. Bit cold/greasy serve yourself. Disappointing that we had to pay before eating (we knew it wasn't in our room rate, but do people really eat and run at breakfast?) Would have expected yo settle at reception on checkout. Disappointing that hotel bar not open to guests at 11.30pm. Beds very comfortable, decor dated, and curtains very precarious. Good big mugs for tea/coffee in the room, but 1 packet of biscuits for 3 guests not great.

The hotel itself was lovely and we had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. Check-in was quick and straightforward, and we were given clear instructions and easily found our room. The room was very spacious, clean and tidy, with plenty of storage and hangers and good facilities. The temperature was comfortable throughout our stay and the housekeeping team were fantastic. Breakfast was nice and overall the hotel provided everything we needed for a comfortable couple of nights in Edinburgh
The room was a little dated, and there were some signs of wear and tear, including stains and a few broken items, such as light fittings, lampshades, and the toilet flush button. The blinds also didn’t block out as much sunlight as we would have liked as it was baking and shining directly into our room. Breakfast was fine, although a little more variety in the cooked options and some more pastries would have been nice. None of these things spoiled our stay, but they are areas that could make an already lovely hotel even better.

The property had a lot of charm and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Our room was a bit tired and could have done with some updating.

Location very quiet, breakfast was good but a little expensive.
Service charge automatically to a pretty ordinary evening meal, small portions. Poor value for money. Customer should decide if a tip is worthy, not the hotel.
