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.

Very Good
Spacious room with a lovely view, quiet despite being close to a main road into the city and it had car parking. Easy access via steps to the road where buses into the centre, taking you past three large theatres,are every 15 minutes but perhaps not great if you have mobility issues.
Dining room was a bit dull.

Location
The hotel needs refurbishment with threadbare carpets and worn furniture. Our room was cold (no means of adjusting the heat on the radiator), damp on the wall (badly patched up) battered paintwork, peeling wallpaper, leaking radiator, dusty, shower took at least 5 minutes to start running warm. Way overpriced (£180 for one night) and not even a complementary bottle of water in the room. If I hadn't paid up front I would have asked for a hefty reduction in cost. Very disappointed.

Good breakfast
Accessibility very poor. No step free route from reception/restaurant/bar to bedrooms internally. Necessary to go outside hotel and approach from carpark entrance. Offhand approach to problem by receptionist. Suggested we shouldn't have booked No lifts in hotel for access to upper floors for anyone.

Clean and comfortable, helpful staff
We had very heavy bags and our room was on the 3rd floor so without an elevator, it made it a little difficult to get up to our room.

Location was perfect. Easy to drive to from by pass. Free parking. On bus route to centre of Edinburgh.
Unfortunately no lift. But was given a room with fewest stairs to access.
