The staff were all very friendly and the check in was easy. The room was a good size and warm. The views from the property were good. It was easy to use public transport to get into the city. We ate in the restaurant on our first night; the meal was served promptly and was very good.
There was no lift and there were a lot of stairs to get to our room. The breakfast was disappointing compared to other similar places that we have stayed. There wasn’t much choice and things kept running out. The hot food was disappointing. Although next to a bus route, it still took quite a while to get into town.

Disappointing
We loved the staff, everyone was kind and welcoming without being overly chatty which was appreciated. Check was easy and the service in the bar and restaurant was efficient and friendly both for dinner and breakfast.
We stayed in room 221 and this room was below the standard we had experienced in our previous stay with you. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and did impact our sleep. The chair in the room had bright pink stains. The shower was showing rust around the door and the non-slip mat was dirty. Toilet roll holder wasn’t fixed to the wall. The wall paper was peeling on the ceiling and in numerous places around the room. Having both worked in hospitality, we appreciate that sometimes older rooms are booked out when the hotel is busy and we accept that but this room needs a scheme of work to bring it up to standard.

Wonderful
Absolutely loved the people working there!! They are so sweet and kind! I sadly didn't get to see the cat but I still enjoyed my stay!
The lightbulb in the bathroom kept flickering and turning off and it was a bit too thin walls but you just have to use earplugs and it's fine! And the bus took a bit too long into the city but the view there is really beautiful!

Poor
It was clean and the food was ok, central to Edinburgh city centre (short bus ride)
The rooms are small and badly arranged. The ground floor rooms are only accessed through a function room which is often locked therefore assistance is needed by staff to return your room. As a disabled person this is inappropriate and dangerous. The staff were not helpful and all in all it was not a good stay and would not recommend.

Location close to family we were visiting.
Second stay here, as the first stay involved a difficult climb to a strange turret room we asked for a room with less stairs (no lifts available ). This time we had a ground floor room which was ridiculously small for 2 people. Bathroom was very difficult to negotiate. We feel that booking via your booking.com site we are allocated the very worst rooms.

Everything was perfect. We either just got lucky with our room or those people leaving 1* reviews expected a 5* experience in a 3* hotel.
