The room, location, breakfast, staff, atmosphere, decor, all of it.

1. The best breakfast I've had in my life. Abundance of choice and very delicious.
2. Very friendly and ready-to-help staff.
3. Beautiful rooms and a view at the park.
1. There was no hot water - I mean, the hottest option was really cold.
2. There is a restaurant on the ground floor, and on Saturday, guys who likely celebrated a birthday were shouting under windows until 00:35. I'd expect the administration of the hotel to take care of these situations and/or maybe close the restaurant earlier. Given that we lived on the 1st floor, it was a real disappointment.

Reception was friendly and helpful. We loved the hand-written booklet from staff listing their favourite things in Edinburgh. The room was very clean and facilities all good. The bed was good with a firm mattress. The location is across from a busy park and it's a pleasant 30 min stroll through there into the old town. Or a shorter walk to Bruntsfield Place with plenty of shops and restaurants, and a bus stop to multiple destinations. Very nice restaurant and staff downstairs, where we had some breakfasts and dinners.
The room was a bit squeezy and quite a few stairs to get to our room.

The room was large and charming and in a great location, with comfortable beds. The restaurant was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The room has a mechanical fan noise from 7am until 10pm. If you want to avoid this fan the only other choices of room are extremely noisy due to the noise from the bar (loud music, doors slamming). Until they solve their noise problem I feel like the room rates should be lower. Also, our shower was broken and sprayed water everywhere and the bathroom was a bit cramped / in need of an update.

The reception staff were lovely, as was housekeeping. We enjoyed breakfast and the food was excellent. A very comfortable stay.
Some of the decor feels very Tumblir circa 2014, specifically all of the framed photos. It was sort of amusing and weird.

I have stayed here before in the exact same room so I knew how it would be but the food in the restaurant was much worse than previously.
The food was poor in the evening but breakfast was good
